gelfin Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) I have confirmed that we can use the Church building for the Cardiff Bass Bash. This will be on Saturday November 10th. Time booked is from 2.30pm to around 8pm. The address is Parkend Church Llandennis Rd CF23 6EG [url="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?rlz=1C1_____en-gbGB479GB479&sugexp=chrome,mod%3D0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=parkend+church+cardiff&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=parkend+church+cardiff&cid=0,0,9122648844227849025&sa=X&ei=kU99UKjeH8bL0QXF8YHQCA&ved=0CH4Q_BIwAA"]http://maps.google.c...ved=0CH4Q_BIwAA[/url] As I said before there is no alcohol allowed on premises but there is a decent pub a stones throw away. Good clean facilities and kitchen for making tea and coffee. A donation of some sort may be nice for the use of the building. There are two rooms available. One very large hall 6m x 15m (ish) One medium size hall 4m x 10m (ish) Large car park with easy loading access. My bands practice room is in the basement so this can be used as well if needed. (saves me carting all my kit upstairs). I may be able to get a drum kit in each room and guitarist if so desired for a decent jam. If any one attending wants to bring their drummer/kit. Guitarist/rig let me know so we don't get too many. So let us know who's comming with what? My kit available to play with is Gallien Krueger Fusion 550 head with GK glx 410 and blx 210 cabs. Gallien Krueger RB400/15 combo. Various old Trace cabs and Peavey black widow. Rickenbackker 4003 Tokai Thunderbrid Epi Explorer Ryder P bass Toby Pro4 Mazetti 8 string A strange twin neck Moog Taurus bass pedals Laney guitar head. Marshall 1960 4X12. Edit for acoustic basses , we could also use the sanctuary for acoustic basses uprights etc. Edited October 16, 2012 by gelfin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtroun Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 What's the idea? I've never been to one of these things before, but I'm intrigued. I don't live very far away though being a trainee teacher my weekends are generally filling out forms and wishing weekends were three days...

sarah thomas Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Mtroun - please come along! It would be extra great to meet another DB player. I'm a trained teacher so maybe there's a potential tradeoff ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fretbuzz Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Cool show us some rockabilly DB... :-) I'd like to do that sometime. I thought that playing bass guitar would get me there in the future :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelfin Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Traffic update for this event. There are some serious roadworks going on right at the Church entrance. Gas pipe laying. There is still access to to car park but it is not straightforward. So I have put a map here showing how to get in. Whichever direction you come from you will need to get to point A and follow the red line to the entrance. There is no access from the roundabout because the road has been made one way with traffic coming down Rhyd y pennau Rd the wrong way. When you come down this road via my detour don't go as far as the roundabout, turn left across the roadworks at the bollard just before the roundabout. I will try to get some signs made to help. If you're really stuck call me on 07971559710 [IMG]http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae181/gelfin5959/BCdirections-1.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChick Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Potential traffic update 2! Had a lesson with Mr Ace last night, he said that there is a Wales v Argentina rugby game in Cardiff that day. Kick off is 2.30pm so hopefully won't affect us, but thought I'd mention it in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sorry guys, but I will have to wait until the next S.Wales bash to come around as I have just been booked for a gig that evening. Can't make it in the afternoon either as I will be at the Cardiff City v Hull match which kicks off at 3pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelfin Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hi all. Please can you let me know who is coming and what gear you might be bringing. I have listed before what I have there so it would be could for us to see what other goodies will be there. I have not been to a bass bash before so don't really know how they run. I guess that we all turn up check out each others kit and generally chat about it all, have a jam etc. Tea and coffee available. No alcohol as I mentioned before. If any want to eat I guess you bring your own. Is anyone bring guitarist or drummer friends? They can bring their kit if they like. I have two drum kits available. One is basic and other is in basement practice room. This leaves a room without drums! My larger GK rig lives in basement but will carry up with help if you wish. Also have a guitar rig that can come up. Laney head Marshall 412 (1960) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fretbuzz Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm coming and planning on offloading my 11 year old first :-) I haven't got a clue what goes on so I'm coming along to say hello really. I'll bring my 2012 P so people can try it. Can't fit my amp in the boot :-(. Might bring my LoMenzo pedal which is great fun :-) I'm interested in hearing what a Rick sounds like :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fretbuzz Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 PS I would like to have a go at some flat wounds...don't know how they feel or sound...... Want to see and hear the Rickenbacker too :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChick Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Dunno what I'll be bringing yet kit wise... Probably my Ibanez, my fretless and my 5 string Ibanez if all goes to plan with my collection on Thursday night! Although my not bring all three. As for amp.... I may either bring my peavy combo I use at home or my Laney amp and one of my cabs (probably my 1 15 rather than my 2 10). In fairness, I haven't got the best kit in the world, but happy to bring stuff along.... Can't bring my drummer though! LOL! I am sooooo looking forward to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shizznit Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Though I can't be there tomorrow, if any of you guys that are attending the bash would like to use my EBS TD650 and Neo 212 cab for the day then feel free to PM me. I will be taking the Reidmar and Neo 210 with me to the gig tomorrow as it's only small acoustic thing I am doing in Bristol. The only snag is that you will have to pick it up yourself before 2pm as I will be heading to the CCFC v Hull match around then and return it to me after 8pm Sunday as I am on a job all day. The offer is there if you fancy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelfin Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Urgent update on traffic situation. The previous map I put up is now useless as Park end Lane has just been closed. There are diversion signs but I haven't tried following them yet. It may be best to use sat nav and approach via the A48 dual carriageway and exit at Pentwyn. [IMG]http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae181/gelfin5959/Newroute.jpg[/IMG] Hopefully this will help. Get to point A and follow route to B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fretbuzz Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks guys and to gelfin for sorting it out and for letting me have a go on his Rickie :-) Great to meet you all and to hear 15 inch cabs as I'm just about to get one as a second cab :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
