Is there any Bass Conventions in scotland?

[skelf]

A few younger guys but I don't see your age being a problem. The only thing that is expected is that you treat other peoples gear with care and respect.

With any luck, when the next bash comes round I won't have broken an ankle or burnt myself to a cinder like the last two times, and will be able to drive down to moffat...

So what actually happens at one of these conventions?

I've worked with Scots nearly all my life and always found them to be favourable to a bit of travelling. Obviously some of you 'Central Belt' bass playing types might prove the exception

Calling a Borderer English is dangerous ground, they think of themselves as more on the 'front line' than those REMF's tucked further North.

Its not really too bad getting to moffat. The drive there is much more fun than the return trip. Seeing my last 2 transactions have taken place in Carlisle, I dont feel Moffat is in anyway a great distance, 90mins in a car is nothing seeing I drive for a living. I know my Scottish brothers on the East coast have a hell of a journey though. But im sure we can all agree its worth it.

Moffat is easy to get to & it's a fairly quick road there (& back).
I often take the old road as soon as I get past Lesmahagow anytime I'm heading down that direction.

I'm not too sure what happens. From what I can gather it's a bunch of folk who all go for a curry, then the following day meet up in a room wih the doors closed to produce some low end sounds.

I'm about 30 minutes away and transport isn't a problem. It's quite a drag for the highlanders though.

[skelf]

Closest you will get by train from Ayrshire is Dumfries or possible Lockerbie.

I was not implying that because you are young you don't know how to behave. What I said applies to everyone that goes to any bash.

[Delberthot]

when it gets nearer the time we can work out who's going to car share and split the petrol.

I'll probably take the car of meet up with someone or see what happens.

Its a nice, easy drive down with some nice scenery and I'm partial to a curry.
