Despite the mass of Jazz basses there I came away thinking that life isn't complete without a precision.

Well, as a result of playing Tommys Stingray at the bash, I'm a Ray convert. The next day I bought a Ray 5 string fretless.

Really enjoyed the session folks. Big thanks to the organizers and especially Keith for letting me know about it. Met a lot of nice people and very much enjoyed trying lots of different gear and picking up valuable tips. Very much enjoyed also, Jo's talk on his experiences and a big thank you for sharing them with us. Nice to see the phot's of the day and everyone having a good time. All round total result and big thumbs up me thinks

[stoker]

Why the urgency? Anyone would think you've got something to show off!

Rex and I were thinking about this last night actually. Any chance of having it a little more... Southwest?

I was thinking of maybe asking Malcolm Joseph if he'd be up for doing a talk/clinic as he doesn't live too far from me

[oldslapper]

Go for it Joe, there a lot of Devon/Cornwall bassists here and FInnbass. All you need is a suitable venue down your way and the will to do the organising.
If you need some advice, or tips then feel free to ask...........Keith :-)

Cheers,
John

[Dom in Dorset]

watching with interest (and something to show off)

[D.I. Joe]

What time of year should it be? 4 months seems a bit soon so should we try to establish an annual autumn bash?

Odd that.

[Pinball]

it would be nice to have another. Could people handle 2 per year? If so I could make some inquires here in Nailsea/just South of Bristol to do something in say May. That way I get some good banter and to play lots of nice basses as I really enjoyed the last one

[Mornats]

Good idea. We could have a Bristol-ish based one and a more South West Devon/Cornwall based one too.

[D.I. Joe]

Soo... When's the next one?

[Silvia Bluejay]

Hi there,

I'm unpinning this topic as its title is confusing (it refers to last year). Could you guys start a new topic for deciding the date of the next bash? I could then pin that one.

Thanks
