ped Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi all, I will probably be booking the venue for the Bash tomorrow (it is in Northampton, details to follow) and the date will be sometime in late March to give everyone lots of notice. Just one thing though - what is best for everyone, a Saturday or a Sunday? I think we have had them on both before but thought I would throw the question out there for those who are travelling the furthest in mind.

ped Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ah you may be getting mixed up with Manchester's Bass Day event. The Bass Bash is just an informal get together of a bunch of members with nothing better to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Bassy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've not been to one of these Bass bashes, but Northampton is close for me and I might give it a try. What exactly goes on? Is it aimed a a particular level (i.e Will I feel a complete plonker because I'm not particularly good?) Clive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a chance for people to check out everyone elses gear and have a chat. There isn't a great deal of actual proper playing (jams etc).. most people are doodling around just like you do in a guitar shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I voted Sunday because I won't be able to travel to Northampton on a saturday when i have a gig in the evening. I'm guessing there'll be less of a chance of people gigging on the sun night than the sat night Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like the Guitar show at Wembley or wherever with thousands of guitarists half pulling off their most impressive licks. Sadly gigwise for me March is a desert at the moment. As for days I vote for whatever Nik votes for as possible nominated for the South Coast charananc Edited January 21, 2008 by WalMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJW Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'd like to come - but I don't think driving to Northampton from Dundee would be sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
