jwbassman Posted February 18, 2008 Author Posted February 18, 2008 Less than a month to go - so thought it might be a good idea to bring this up the list again Quote
silverfoxnik Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 [quote name='jwbassman' post='133592' date='Feb 4 2008, 02:24 PM']Hi Guys - Just been chatting to Chris at Bluebird Studios... Good news is we're all set for the Sunday 16th March. The studio will be available from luchtime onwards, so lets say an 'offical' start time of 1pm I'll get down as soon as i can after my bigband rehersal but I understand Ped will probably be there a little before 1pm anyway... Address is Bluebird Studios, Snowdon Road, St annes - [url="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Snowdon+Road,+St+annes&sll=54.162434,-3.647461&sspn=9.799374,26.696777&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=0"]google maps link[/url], it looks pretty straight forward to get there... Cost for hiring the studio is £70 - I'm sure we can cover this with donations if we all throw a few quid in, I'm thinking a £5 each maximum should cover it... Looking forward to seeing you down there I guess some sort of list of who's coming and what you're planning on bringing would be good - I'll set up another thread for that. Cheers John[/quote] Good luck with it all from us down here in the 'unbeautiful' south! It'll be a great day Thinking back, we had such a good time at the SE Bash last August and it's amazing what a diffference it makes getting to meet people on the forum face to face. Look forward to seeing the thread and the pictures afterwards! Nik Quote
jwbassman Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks Nik - I'm hoping for a good turn out and as you said putting some names to faces will be good... I think Ped has arranged for Chris at the studio to do some filming so all being well there should be some video and pics posted after the event Quote
BassBunny Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 [quote name='tayste_2000' post='133615' date='Feb 4 2008, 02:58 PM']Am quite tempted to come but I don't have transport I was also tempted to offer up my practice room since it would be free and is just off the motorway in stockport. Anyone with a large van going from manchester as I can bring a lot of gear [/quote] Not a large Van, but I am hoping to go and can give you a lift assuming something doesn't come out of left field and cock my plans up, again...........

ped Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 That's right mate Chris and I will be filming some video stuff for Vigier over the weekend so we will have it all set up there and will 'document' the bash as best we can! I am really looking forward to it. Nik is right, the whole idea of these bashes is to really cement the ethos of the site being a community. They really help people get along and after every bash you can tell the forum is much better for having had the meet-ups. And most members are a bit worse off financially after catching a bad case of GAS.... Cheers ped Quote
BassBunny Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 And Ped may be able to get re-acquainted with "Marvin". Quote
ped Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 That's right!! I hope so!! Actually, coincidentally, Miss ped adopted me a Meerkat from London Zoo for Valentines and I called him Marvin! Quote
nickcarey Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I look forward to seeing you all the Mini Bass Bash folks. I will gladly lend an ear to anyone on the day wanting to discuss any dilemas with their bass playing, not forgetting any positive revelations they wish to share with others! Regards Nick Quote
Rayman Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Just spotted this, have you got room for another one? Quote
ped Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Definitely!! What will you be bringing? Can you find it OK? ped Quote
Mottlefeeder Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 I'll be travelling from Lymm with a Ford Focus estate, and space in the back. I can detour by Altrincham/Sale, or by Warrington (but not both!) if anyone wants a lift. Quote
Rayman Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 [quote name='ped' post='144916' date='Feb 22 2008, 11:46 AM']Definitely!! What will you be bringing? Can you find it OK? ped[/quote] Well as it happens I have a customer on the same road, so I know where Snowdon Rd is in St Annes. Gear wise, a choice of Villex loaded jazz, Stingray, Marcus Miller Jazz, OLP Tony Levin and maybe an Ibanez K5 depending on circumstances, so it's a question of what would be of interest to everyone. I guess the Villex jazz would be a definate possibility. Quote
Rayman Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='145134' date='Feb 22 2008, 03:57 PM']Be great to see you there Russ [/quote] Looking forward to it mate. Just paid for the Marcus, picking up the K5 tonight, sorted. Looks like my 2 basses only rule just went up to 5 in the space of a month. Quote
Chris C Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Greetings everyone, I'm Chris from Bluebird Recording Studios. I'm looking forward to meeting you guys in March. I also play drums so I will be up for jamming some grooves if any of you fancy it. Quote
GreeneKing Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Hi there Chris Looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the guys. Peter Quote
jwbassman Posted February 28, 2008 Author Posted February 28, 2008 Hi Chris Glad to have you onboard... Good to chat with you (although it was a few weeks ago now) when were setting this thing up. Only a couple of weeks or so to go, will be here before you know it. Looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the guys soon - bring it on Quote
MythSte Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I know! Its gonna be a reet giggle. Seriously though, someone needs to bring a (clean) dustbin and lots of ice! Quote
ednaplate Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I'd love to go and put faces to avatars but I have to work. Are these bashes a regular event? I'll definitely be up for the next one. Quote
MythSte Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Not as regular as i think everyone would like! But there becoming more popular Quote
jwbassman Posted February 28, 2008 Author Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) Ste as your very local can you source the bin and said ice? Edit - providing that Chris is cool with us bring our own refreshments Edited February 28, 2008 by jwbassman Quote
