The East Anglia Bass Bash

[bluesparky]

Alas, as it stands I now can't make it.
Work is dragging me out on tour for all of Jan / Feb which obviously rules me out.
Sorry, i was looking forward to it.

It's 99.9% confirmed job, but if things change, i'm in.

[Truckstop]

I need to be changed on the list!!
I no longer have the Yamaha RBXJM1. It's gona to a very deserving bass collector.
I do, however, have a pretty tasty all white MIM Fender Jazz 5 to bring instead!
Also, I am willing to pay in advance, and also maybe a little extra in case we can't make up numbers.

Cheers

Truckstop

[Stag]

Can pay in advance happily!

Given that Mr V is taking his Hydrives I dotn thinks its necessary for me to bring the SVT610... everyone knows what they do, and I doubt id get it in the car!!!

I shall bring

'72 Gibson Les Paul Bass
'76 Fender Musicmaster

as they are a little more "rare" than my other basses And ill bring the SVT5 along if it will fit in the car... cool amp

[BassCat]

I'll be there! Stag can give you lift if you still need it.

Will bring -
Precision
Hartke amp
Hartke 4.5

[lonestar]

hope I can try your Jazz 5 Truckstop !
I'm happy to stump up a couple of extra quid if we need to.

[bluesparky]

Sorry to say that i can no longer come chaps.
The tour is now confirmed which rules me out for Jan / Feb.
I hope you all have a blast, and enjoy it.
Cheers.

[BassCat]

I can pay in advance as well.

So what happens with these bass days?

Do people bring gear along and everyone tries each others stuff out?

I live in Ely, so its not far, but i have a feeling my band practice is on that date.

Hi Lorry,

yes, that's kinda it actually! We all get together, wander around, meet new faces - talk, talk, play, talk and play some more! Some of the bashes have had masterclasses / clinics and visits from well known Luthiers too. I hope that we'll have some people along to do a talk or masterclass for this bash too!

All the bashes I have been to have been brilliant and it's great to hang out with a great bunch of bass players!

[TheRockinRoadie]

Fantastic - sounds good to me! I just hope im free on that sunday, Unfortunately i work most sundays, and band practice when i'm not, so i will have to talk to the guys. I have a few friends locally that might be interested in going aswell.

EDIT: I've just mentioned it to Nick Wells of BGM, he's over this way.

Cheers

Ahhh that'd be great, I met Nick outside the building where BassDay was held whilst on my way to demoing on the Shuker stand. I'd sent him an email recently, but I guess he was a bit busy for a reply! Nice chap, would like to have a gas with him again.

[TheRockinRoadie]

I bought a pedal off of him a few years ago, and got to know him. His office is very close to my house, so that comes in handy sometimes!

And yeah, hes such a fantastic guy - his enthusiasm for bass really is infectious!

[TheRockinRoadie]

Okay guys - Count me in! Unfortunately i cant pay in advance, but do you know what the price will be on the door?

If i have room, I'll probably take my Marshall MB450H/MBC115, the Lakkie, the 2 Fenders, and maybe the pedalboard!

I've had a chat with Nick and he's very interested!

Cheers

[pikeman]

Hopefully I'll be able to come, depends on work commitments.
Can I pay on the day if I can make it?
Steve.

[Dood]

Time seems to be slipping by and yes we do need to get that payment in advance. I'll have a PM with Charic as we somehow need to get the money to him so that we can book the hall, I guess.

Let me know how I can pay , and by when , and I'll do it . I suspect everyone is in agreement .

This sort of went all cold , and I don't think anyone knew what was happening with this .

Let me know mate , and I'll send it off - Oh and is there anything I can bring . I mean does everyone bring their lunch , or do people club together for a sort of buffet . I know this probably sounds like a knobby question , but after bass , it's my stomach

[pantherairsoft]

I know it's a bit far away, but is anyone coming from near/around Nottingham (or passing through Notts on the way down) that fancies picking me up. I'd happily pay half the petrol both ways...

[lonestar]

I'm really looking forward to this and happy to pay in advance once instructed.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread I'm happy to bring my tools along and help anyone with instrument setups and advice for newbies.
Whilst not a professional lutheran (yet ) I have been working on my own and friends instruments for years and would be pleased to help with re-stringing, intonation, truss rod and action adjustments; bring your own strings.
I may dig out an old but surprisingly playable Hohner Precision copy which has been mouldering away in the back of a dank dark cupboard for years for people to practice on/demonstrate. If anyone else has an old plywood bass or g***ar bring it along to fiddle and fettle.

[Dood]

ONLY FOUR MORE PEOPLE to put names down to pay in advance to hire the hall!

[jonunders]

as stated earlier i would be happy to pay a little more to prevent the day being cancelled.
jon

[Jacqueslemac]

How much are we talking about? If it's £10, then why not charge everyone £11 to make sure the cost is covered?

If more people turn up on the day, charge them £10 and refund £1 to those of us who paid £11 in advance to secure the hall.
