Adrenochrome Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 No, I can't do the 29th June as I'm gigging that afternoon. If the date of the gig or the date of the bash changes to a date when I'm free, then I'll go. I still don't have any tastey gear to show around regardless! ta, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2wheeler Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I can't do much on the 29th - I have a prior commitment that week-end. I might be able to drop in later on and I will if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bassman Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Would there be any interest in my uprights (acoustic & electric) and if so will there be enough room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might also encourage a more "thoughtful" demographic to attend too and we could always have a "Jazz" section Joking aside and presuming I have not totally hacked you off(?), if you have room to bring them that would be great, the Concert Room is massive: maybe the only issue will be actually hearing them! It does however bring up another issue which I guess we all need to take on board: You(we) are all responsible for (y)our own equipment both in terms of security and damage. From what I gather from other BB's, people are usually very respectful of others equipment but if the forecast numbers do turn up (could be 20 plus) we need to keep a collective eye on each others gear in case some opportunist thief (and clearly not a Bass-Chatter) wanders in and back out with a Little Mark or £3000 bespoke bass!

yorks5stringer Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Just thought I would bump this due to the new times, 12.30-4.30 pm. Also watch out for some other exciting news regarding a Bass Tutoring Workshop during the session! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) Hi Yorkshire and possibly beyond, Bass Bashers. I can now confirm the following: [b]Yorkshire Bass Bash to be held on Sunday June 29th from 12.30 until 4.30 pm at: The Copper Beech Club, 31 Northgate, Baildon, SHIPLEY, BD17 6JZ Tel: 01274 584091[/b] Please note the [b]revised time [/b]due to licensing laws and the fact I have a Wedding with the Trio that evening! We have use of a large Function Room with raised stage and I am very pleased to announce that Bren Travis will be running Performance Bass Sessions throughout the event via headphones and also a separate 'Masterclass' with one of his pupils midway through the afternoon. He intends to give away some free software on the day, including Loop-trainer software and a high quality Drum Loop application, with free licenses for all who sit a session, plus A3 landscape Mode/Pentatonic scale wallcharts. There should also be some Basses on sale, my Mark Bass T151P cab and the compulsory Bass Bash Raffle! [b]IMPORTANT NOTE:[/b] There is free CCTV monitored parking in the Co-op car park but all visitors to the Bash need to enter their registrations into the terminal within the Club to ensure you don’t get ticketed for overstaying the 1.5 hours limit. I cannot accept any responsibility for your parking tickets! I have also been asked to limit slapping to no more than 5 minutes per Hour and there will be a ritual burning of Behringher Bass Gear at 3.30 pm.

EntropicLqd Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Due to circumstances completely outside of my control I can't make this now; which is a real shame as I was looking forward to it (on the calendar and everything). I look forward to the next one (assuming this one goes well) as Baildon is just down the road from me. Totally bummed about this unforeseen turn of events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi keith, I need to get round to ordering a new batch as I have completely run out now. Last time I ordered some (in time for the Nottingham bash) I checked up on the order and they totally forgot about it altogether! I will let you know if I can scrape some together for you! Cheers and have a great bash ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybassplayer Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hi, trying to make a plan to get there on the day but as I have my children on the day ( 6, 8 and 11 ) it involves convincing my girlfriend to entertain them locally for an hour so I can call in ( particularly want to to meet Bren Travis again as he is the person who taught me years ago and gave me the confidence to join my first band. He is a top guy and superb bass player ) Can you suggest anywhere that I can drop the four of them off local to the venue so that I can at least call in for an hour or so ( thinking of something like a pub with Wacky Warehouse type play area or a nice park ) Thanks Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
