[/quote] Dang, that's still nice that! Wouldn't mind a play on it! I'll be bringing both my Bass Collections (with a mind to sell if anyone's interested) and if I have room, also my Tanglewater. I'll have my Ashdown 220 Touring amp too if there's space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinball Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 [quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1352714768' post='1866330'] Ok chaps, Jo Burt ex Sabbath, Queen, Freddie Mercury and others, will be coming to the bash. He's a nice chap and has some great road trip stories. I thought, if people were interested, Jo might have 20 mins to share some stories and answer any questions any if us have about working with some Divas! I've asked him to bring along a bass or two that had some "stories". [/quote] That's great, did Jo play bass or guitar with those bands?

yorks5stringer Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Update re the Venue. They will be doing Sunday Lunches and the " normal" type of pub food "Scampi", "sandwiches" etc so do please support them as we are getting the venue F.O.C. There will be a collection jar too, it would be good if everyone could make a contribution to either/and support a Charity of Jo Burt's choice or the pub, who like many licensed venues at the moment finding things tough! Also the first 10 Basschatters through the door will be getting some Basschat "[s]crap" [/s]memorabilia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fremsley Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hi - Just joined this group after hearing about the South-West gathering when I was at Mansons Guitar Show today. I dont live too far from Milborne Port so thought I might pop in. What happens at these events - chatting, buying/selling, playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very chilled, have a gander at people's gear, maybe have a play on it too, chat. It's in a pub, so maybe a pint and a pie? Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

stevie Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'm hoping to see you all there. I'll be bringing a heavily modified Yamaha 1100S.

stevie Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Back home now. The family had lunch at the pub (good prices) and then left to have a wander around Sherborne. I had a whale of a time trying out all the lovely gear and was particularly impressed by a great-sounding Sandberg that I'll never be able to afford, but never mind. A big thanks to John (oldslapper) and Yorks5stringer for all their good work in organizing everything. I'll try to bring an amp and a cab next year!
