andydye Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 [quote name='skelf' timestamp='1392200384' post='2365784'] Two pubs of choice this year. With the increased numbers wanting to go we have The Stag and The Balmoral to try out. As to the malts no idea I am afraid.

edster Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 What's the etiquette regarding trying other folk basses Do we seek out the owner for permission or do we trust each other enough not to damage the kit and just go for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) I've been to a few. It's my thought thought that as long as you're respectful and careful it's okay to try an instrument. Ask if the owners there and chat about a lot of nonsense too Edited March 7, 2014 by GreeneKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skelf Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hi I will go over the protocol such as it is at the curry on the Saturday night. Banned Matt to many Gibson basses he had to go. Family commitments, he will make a triumphant return next year. At least he had better or words will be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Anyone thinking about a ticket has until Friday night to sort it out. We shut up shop on Friday night and has been previously stated there is no pay on the door so if you want to come along you need to get a ticket.

Alan is correct, clash of dates which I realised all too late. Don't fret, I will be back - this is the first one I've missed!

EMG456 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm on my way from Glasgow down to Leeds for a few days on Sunday - never been to one of these. Is it ok to come along but not bring any basses/ gear? Cheers Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
