CARDIFF. SOUTH WALES BASS BASH MARCH 2013 CONFIRMED SATURDAY 23rd MARCH

[SpaceChick]

Oh no Bass Lady Hope you can come, was looking forward to catching up after over 20 years

[SpaceChick]

Sorry you didn't make it Bass Lady

Had a fab time

Great to see old friends and meet new ones

Thanks again Gelfin for sorting it!

My highlights were thanks to Pete and his extensive kit.... Had my first go at a double bass (and played a G Major scale, not very rock and roll I know ), and my first go at a 6 string and have decided that my hands certainly aren't suited to one! And I completely fell in love with his 1980s hand made Ibanez.... It was swweeeeeeetttttt

Mr Fretbuzz was snapping away, so photos to follow I'm sure Was great to meet young Jake too, and judging by his tapping away, it's hardly surprising he's a drummer

Great afternoon, roll on the next bass bash

[Mr Fretbuzz]

That was great.I enjoyed it much better than the last one and I got this ace pedal too

[LemonCello]

Ditto Space Chick...thanks Nick for superb hosting as usual, tea, coffee and banter on tap!

You should see his underground chamber full of interesting axes and especially the Moog Taurus, what a piece of kit!

Cheers to everyone, had a great time!

Oh dear Mark

You should have travelled down the M4 to Cardiff

[chaypup]

Such a shame I couldn't make this one! Who brought the Kramers?

[petercullenbassist]

wwas a good afternoon! great to meet you all! can anyone tell me what John's last name is though??

Pete

[Bass Lady]

Gutted............. so sorry not to make it, looks like you guys had fun. My brother-in-law got stuck travelling (delays at airport or something) because of the snow so super aunt had to step up for baby sitting duties. Believe me, bass bash was a much better option. Pete. glad you made it, Debs, I promise we will catch up soon, maybe a cuppa over Easter?

Any plans for the next one at all anyone? I've not been to one yet and don't want to miss out again.

Looks like a great craic!

[SpaceChick]

We were planning to have the next one around June, but reckon that may slip now...... Oh Gelfin?!?

[miles'tone]

Ah that's a shame. Still, I'll keep my ears open just incase something happens.
Cheers!

[SpaceChick]

[Mr Fretbuzz]

I have asked the mods to unstick last years Bash thread and replace it with this one, just to stop any confusion.

Time for another Gelfin? Maybe end September or October? Since the last I've got a Warwick Pro Star Bass and Epi Thunderbird Classic Pro 1V with Gibson pickups I can bring. Wouldn't mind another go on your Rickie. Still tempted but unsure :-) Christmas is coming :-D

[SpaceChick]

Agreed, its about time we had another one!!

[Mr Fretbuzz]

Bumperty bump :-). Come on guys time for another with new members on Basschat ; I've got 3 new basses for you to try...a Warwick Pro Star Bass...semi acoustic , a Fender Cabronita P and a 60s Classic Jazz. Plus Gary is going to buy my 5 string off me :-D


...or just meet up for a coffee in Starbucks or something and talk bass :-)

How about a trip to the Bass Show in March. Cheap train tickets should be out soon. This year I'm going to get a late train back on the Sunday and go to both days :-)

[Marc S]

Thanks to Mr Fretbuzz for bumping this
I've not been to a bass bash before
and I really want to go to a local one.....

Anyone who may be involved in organising one,
please let me know.......
Pretty please?

Bass show in March? - hmmm, a possibilty

[Mr Fretbuzz]

No worries Marc. This year the show was really cheap with train tickets about £25 and travelodge about £35. Next year I see that the travelodge is about £60 at the moment and although march train tickets haven't been released yet the February tickets are about £75 return for me. Weekend pass is about £30 if prebooked by December.
