[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1487242357' post='3238268'] Well, the quote is in and with a slightly more expensive build and the current value of the British Peso, I have some work to do with Mrs Ez. I could go off the peg and make a couple of compromises, but I really want another bass that feels like it's full of helium, just like my Elwood L fretless. [/quote] I've got a Maruszczyk helium balloon on order

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1487180227' post='3237840'] And for people like me who browse by topic rather than forum, thats here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/300501-the-big-fat-south-west-bass-bash-nr-taunton-2nd-april/"]http://basschat.co.u...nton-2nd-april/[/url] [/quote] Thanks for that

OK, so just done a quick tally of interest from original Bristol post - 25 so far as follows: sbrag, Norm, Cotswoldbassguitars, Mornats, Prosebass, funkyjimbob, GazWills, cocco, JapanAxe, Pinball, TheRev, LewisK1975, JB2016, gcordez, funkyjimbob, Woodinblack, Jebo1, leroybasslines, fiatcoupe432, Marc S, ChunkyMunky, Rich, Chienmortbb, Burns-bass, scrumpymike. Please post your interest if you don't see your name on the list - obviously no-one's going to be arrested for posting and failing to show on the day but having some idea of attendance will make help us get the arrangements right Also, apologies to our friends in Wales and others who will find the new venue less convenient

Yes folks, it's really happening!! The time is: [size=5][b]10am-4pm on Sunday, April 2nd[/b][/size] The venue is: [b][size=5]The Memorial Hall, Cheddon Fitzpaine, near Taunton, Somerset TA2 8JY[/size][/b] [size=4]Special guest (others to be invited):[/size] [b][size=5]Stephen Chown of Chowny Bass[/size][/b][size=5], who will bring some of his lovely basses and give an informal presentation on his experiences of designing basses and having them manufactured off-shore - initially in China and now India.[/size] The hall is located 3 miles from M5 J25 in secluded woodland on the outskirts of the village. This is pretty much half way between Bristol and Exeter and should be comfortably less than an hour's drive from either city centre on a Sunday. For images and more information visit[u] [url="http://www.cheddonfitzpainevillagehall.co.uk/index.html"]http://www.cheddonfi...o.uk/index.html[/url][/u] We've got exclusive use of the whole building for the day. The basses will be bashed in main hall (which also has a very impressive stage that we'll use for Stephen Chown's presentation and any other speaker/s I can organise) but there is also a smaller meeting/conference room that we could maybe use to display basses & equipment for sale on the day. There will be an[b] entry fee of £10 per head[/b] (including raffle ticket) to cover costs and basic food, tea/coffee and soft drinks will be available as required at a small extra charge. Any surplus funds will be donated to a suitable music charity - let me have your suggestions please and I'll put them to a forum vote. [b]You are actively encouraged to bring any basses and gear that you think will be of interest (for hearing, playing, or buying) to other forum members - let me know what you're planning and I'll draw up a list of 'probables'. Please note that everybody will be responsible for ensuring the safety of their own gear on the day, so don't forget to pack your bass stands![/b] Watch this space for more details - all suggestions/questions welcome!

Right, that's the venue booked as follows: Sunday, April 2nd at The Memorial Hall, Cheddon Fitzpaine, near Taunton, Somerset TA2 8JY. The hall is located 3 miles from M5 J25 in secluded woodland on the outskirts of the village and should be comfortably less than an hour's drive from Bristol on a Sunday. For images and more information visit [u]www.cheddonfitzpainevillagehall.co.uk[/u] This will be my last post on this thread as I'm now starting a new topic entitled South-West Bass Bash on the Events forum. AND THE BEST THING IS THERE'S NOT LONG TO WAIT!!

[quote name='Burns-bass' timestamp='1487159004' post='3237587'] I can help with this too. Can bring along some vintage basses if anyone is interested. [/quote] Yes please!!

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1487115319' post='3237319'] Once you guys have decided the date, start a new thread with the info in the title, and I'll pin it to the top, and then I'll create a Facebook event. [/quote] Thanks bluejay, that's brilliant - I'll start a 'Bristol & South West' thread when venue booked.

OK, I've taken 3 positive replies as a mandate to go ahead and have just left a message on Stephen's mobile (spelled his name right this time btw). If he's up for attending, I'll ask him to give a short presentation on Chowny and his experiences of designing basses, getting them manufactured first in China and now India - and having to do an unplanned re-design to avoid legal action. As I write these words the phone rings and it's Stephen returning my call. He's more than up for it and also says he'll mention it to David (Konig?) at Retrovibe. So far so good then! Could anyone else who'd like to come post or pm me whether you'd prefer a Saturday or a Sunday (I'm guessing Sunday will be more popular) and let me know if there's any dates when you couldn't attend. Cheers, Mike

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1487068164' post='3236646'] She always looks very awkward when she is playing bass. Efficient and a decent player, but she doesn't look comfortable to me [/quote] I don't think looking comfortable was a requirement of TH membership - wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Byrne actively discouraged it

I've probably got more free time than most on this forum so I'll pick this one up if no-one has any objections - maybe aim for May/June? Could invite Steven Chowny to come along with a few of his basses. How would you feel about making it a South-West bash rather than specifically Bristol? I'm sure I could find a more flexible / user-friendly / cheaper venue between Bristol and Taunton within easy reach of the M5, e.g. one of the many nice village halls around these parts.
