This is what os did at the last one, if this is what people want then we'll need around 20 expressions of interest....

"I organised one a couple of years ago in Shaftesbury in a local church hall.
I got a local luthier in to offer advise on set ups, etc.
X brought in some bits and pieces from his shop.
I got a drummer and a bass player to do a quirky demo of bizare bass playing, on a Shergold Marathon 8 string, x joined in for a Uileann pipe jazz fusion jam.
It was a nice afternoon, people brought their expensive and home made guitars/rigs....usual bass stuff."


At the last Yorkshire Bass Bash, I organised a stand from Bass Gear Ltd, a visit from the MarkBass rep, an informative demo/clinic from Scott Devine and Geoffbassist and a charity raffle with donations from JHS,Markbass and Hartke.

If you want something lower key I might be able to get a room in a pub for nowt and maybe10 or 12 bring our gear and just try it out/chat?

[0175westwood29]

im up for either idea bud, ill bring my gear either way, nothing compared to most but might interest someone?

hopefully theres a few guys with some barefaced who wanna come to?

andy

[BottomE]

No worries, I'll bring my Super15 Andy.

[Pinball]

I'd be up for it!

[Dom in Dorset]

I've penciled it in but can't confirm for a couple of weeks.
I'll contact a couple of other local players.

[Pinball]

A suggested date would be good ASAP because I sometimes work weekends.

"so how about Sunday Nov 18th, 12.00 -4.00 pm, venue TBA but near Sherborne? "

If you Plymouth boys are up for helping us out with a ride then I'm up for the trip! I'm currently down to work that day but I'll see what I can do!

[0175westwood29]

well my van does have 3 seats but you wouldnt want to drive to far so its best if i take 1 person, im happy to take so gear aswell all id ask is for some fuel for the trip.

andy

[D.I. Joe]

Yeah I'm happy to contribute some fuel money. Just need the time off work! Hopefully shouldn't be a problem.

[yorks5stringer]

Got some venues lined up, once we have a good idea of how many will attend we'll announce which one. Also looking at some special guests, more details to be announced!

Excellent stuff, thank you for this, really looking forward to it.

BTW.... I only just worked out that you're now residing in Dorset sir... I couldn't work it out..... thought it was a strange and random act of kindness for someone from York's to be sorting out a bass bash down here!!

Shh, I don't like people to know I have knighthood, then they'd work out who I really am...."Mull of Kyn....."

Is it worth if ppl are bringing stuff to say what there bringing or not?

[Thor]

I should definitely be able to make this (so long as the other half doesn't spring anything at the last minute).

Up to you really. It can be quite interesting to see what will be on display.

These events can be a useful place to bring stuff you're looking to sell too, as people have the chance to try it out, negotiate face to face, and take it away.
So bring your cash too folks, you could go home with more than you came with, (best bring some "smuggling/cloaking devices" with you for unloading the other end).

Haha oh so true!

Well im hoping they be a few pedalboards with some fun stuff on?

Ill bring my headlite, hartke 112 and 1153 trace cab.

As i doubt either of the cabs will have sold by then. Also ill bring my modulus so if ppl fancy giving it a spin they can.

Andy

[0175westwood29]

Although it does have old stings and is in d standard so not a normal sounding modulus.
