jwbassman Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Hi guys and gals Been chatting to a couple of you who are local to me and would appear there maybe sufficient local interest for our very own North West Mini Bass Bash... This post is to see if the rest you North West bass players - all the ones I don't know... would fancy getting together at some stage soon. Initial ideas are for somewhere near Preston unless you've got any better ideas - Ped has suggested the Bluebird Studios in St. Annes and is looking into availability. Dates to be confirmed but hopefully sometime back end of Feb. If there us sufficient interest we'll try and get something formalised... Cheers John Edited February 2, 2008 by jwbassman Quote

MythSte Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Well! Seeing as bluebird studios is ooo, 5 minutes from me, id be happy to attend!! Your all welcome to leave your gear at mine for um, safe keeping? Quote
Thunderthumbs Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I was thinking of bobbing down to Northampton with another BCer, but one up here would be great. I'm up for it, and I'm sure he (andytill) would be too. "Agent jwbassman......this is your mission" Quote
jwbassman Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) It's not so grim up north after all - nice one guys, I'll see what we can do... How are people fixed 16th, 17th or 23rd of Feb? Personally the 17th is best for me, but clearly all these dates depend upon venue - whichever one it is being available... *goes off to find venue Edited January 31, 2008 by jwbassman Quote
ped Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I expect to hear back from Bluebird studio soon so will let you know mate. I will get an approx price and find out about parking etc. Cheers ped Quote
jwbassman Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 Cheer Ped, I've got another option I'm going to explore but not to hopeful, but you never know - nothing ventured nothing gained... As a guide what sort of 'facilities' will people be expecting? Quote
steve-soar Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 This sounds like the beginnings of a plan. I'll drag my cab less soul to it. Quote

I will let you know as soon as I hear back from them. Always nice to have a bar nearby which bluebird is lacking, though I am sure some beers could be brought along.

MythSte Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Id be more than happy to bring a crate! And we could all wonder into st annes for a pint or three! Someone needs to bring a dustbin full of ice! Quote
ped Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 My ice cold bass licks will keep em' frosty Quote
GreeneKing Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 16th would mean a possible stop over/beer/curry option otherwise I'm okay with dates Quote
MythSte Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 The 16th is fine and dandy here... i know a good curry house! Quote

ped Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Ah I did have one or two hairs in my food but didn't want to make a fuss.... Quote
MythSte Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 aha, Well the Bilash Balti in st annes gets a thumbs up from me. Less flashy but yaknow, Us bassists! Also, My Hartke 2200pro, Ashdown mag 300 and possibly my Yamaha BB605 will all be there wanting new owners!! Quote
jwbassman Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 Just had a look at the Bluebird website, looks like an ideal location - where exactly is it, I don't know St Annes at all? Curry sounds like a plan, but driving will mean no beers for me... well go on then, maybe half a shandy Quote
beerdragon Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 That sounds good to me. count me in. Quote

Where the planes often fly about 30 foot above your car! Just off there Quote
jwbassman Posted February 1, 2008 Author Posted February 1, 2008 Ok - Ped's informed me that the studio is booked up until March. Chris (the guy at the studio), reckons the 16th (same date, different month) of March is looking good, how is everyone fixed for Sunday 16th March? I appreciate this is getting closer to the national bash but venue availability dictates... Cost would be £15 per hour but if enough of us go I reckon a maximum of a £5 each would cover it for a good few hours - how long do guys want to be there? Quote

Cheers John Quote
jwbassman Posted February 2, 2008 Author Posted February 2, 2008 Should I go ahead and ask Ped to firm up the booking with the studio for the revised date of Sunday 16th March? Quote
