David Taylor Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Would anyone be interested in a South West meet up? I'm thinking of either Taunton or Exeter as the location. Since i'm new to bass i figured this would be a good way to meet other guy/gals who like Bass, get some advice, and show of my baby!! And then of course get an inferiority complex cause everyone would be so much better than me If there's enough interest i'll look into locations and make a post in the events section with a poll for locations Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of location would be best, pub, meeting room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'll be interested if I'm not busy. I prefer somewhere we can get a drink or something to eat, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I could be up for this, just down the M5 for me. Depends whether I'm gigging of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'll be up for it, Exeter area best for me, I'm based in the torbay area too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanovw Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I would be up for it. No further east than Exeter for me though. Exeter would be nearly a 200 mile round trip for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Taylor Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Well, i think Exeter seems to be the location of choice over the weekend i'll do a bit of looking around and see if i can find a pub or something with a room we can rent. Meet up location i think should be somewhere easily found and easy to get to, so how about Mansons Guitar Shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Taylor Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm gonna look into this a bit more. Was chating with a mate and they recomended i ask my church, since they have a lot of PA gear there we could use already, and would be next to free. Had a couple of PM's about this as well, and it's gotten a bit bigger than what i was thinking, but in a good way, so i'm gonna spend the next week or so looking into things. I'll post my ideas when i have them Location wise, for me is vitally important since i'm gonna be on public transport, which is why i was considering exeter and taunton. Both are readily accessible (to me personally) and won't break the bank getting to. I've been give a few other places to consider as well and will look at those as well. Just as an off thought of transport, would peeople who are thinking of coming to this and drive be willing to car pool if the people picked up chip in on the petrol costs? I think that would be cheaper all round for both the driver and those relying on public transport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If it will be in Taunton and depending on the day then I'd be happy to come along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm central Somerset based, Taunton would be good but Exeter is only an hour so easy too. Went to the Somerset & dorset bash earlier this year & it was an excellent way to spend an afternoon! Would be driving people carrier so room for somebody else. I'd bring EBMM stingray, trace v4 head, barefaced vintage cab & pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbowskill Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 depending on the day ,i'd certainly be up for it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The Ley Arms in Kenn are very supportive of music. Might be worth asking. I'd happily bring the prototype basschat 1x12's along for people to try.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chienmortbb Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Again depends on when and where as Exeter is a real trek from Poole, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullfan Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi David, I'd be interested in this too, and at least then it wouldn't make you the worst there !!!
