dmccombe7 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) [quote name='munkonthehill' timestamp='1326918424' post='1503839'] I beg to differ,,,,,I believe the Saturday night is the main part!!!! [/quote] I stand corrected and shall reword my previous reply. For the socialisers in the bass fraternity then definately the Sat night will be more enjoyable. Curry, beer and lashings of bass chat i believe. Then fall into your hotel room bed during the early hrs of Sun morning with a huge smile on your face (aaaah memories of younger days) For the sad old gits like myself who can't handle a good night out then Sunday is more about looking and playing with basses and enjoying lots of bass chat with like minded anoraks like myself. Then have a good jam session throughout the day with morning after coffee, tea and cakes supplied.. I think this might be a more accurate picture. No matter what day you go it is great fun for all and i thoroughly enjoyed myself last year on the Sunday. Great bunch of guys and very well organised. Steve Williams did a spot last year and was brilliant and a very nice guy into the bargain. All the best Dave Edited January 19, 2012 by dmccombe7 Quote
AttitudeCastle Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Throwing it out there, as for those of us who can't make Moffat and who live a little further north into scotland, Opinion of a North / Northeast scotland bass bash? Quote

[/quote] How about perth? Easier to get to for me than Moffat. Even Aberdeen would be easier, I can get a train there. Quote
dmccombe7 Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Moffat is a great run on the bike so no excuses there. I like the idea of a Perth bash. Great city and very friendly. Its also pretty central and fairly easy to get to from just about any direction unless you stay in the Hebrides or Orkney. I vote for Perth. Now who is gonna organise it then ??? Dave Quote

Only have one bass with me but it does have 75% more strings so should be OK. Quote
AttitudeCastle Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Pearth could work and us Aberdeen lads could probably make it not too much bother! Quote

munkonthehill Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 you would get on with our very own Mark Daniels (AKA 7string) if you make it along Quote

Unless he's moved onto the 9 strings! I'll see about sorting out something in Perth for a weekend in June/July/whenever suits. Quote
skelf Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 There will be a ten string at Moffat this year. Quote
BassBunny Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Not the Dave Perry 10 Neck jobbie with single string on each? Quote

[/quote] Agree. Mines is tucked up in heated garage for the winter. Yep I'm a fair weather biker and proud of it. Might be worth asking some mates with transport to go and make it a good day out. You won't be disappointed I'm sure. If you were nearer me i could have picked you up but would be going in wrong direction for me. Sorry Dave Quote
EmmettC Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I have a winter bike, so I'm not fairweather, but Moffat might be too far for me, even with heated grips. I'll see if I can make it and try and get a lift. Quote

[/quote] Assuming it's single strings (ie un doubled) then i'd "assume" F# - Eb could be C# to Bb though! Quote
