gub Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 So how do we do this then ? I suppose wait until all names are in and then make up a route map with dates ? Who's good at this sort of stuff ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Not overly sure if I'm honest. Once it's ready to go, I'd guess; make a thread, anyone interested join/express interested once it's ready to move on, either announce gig location or where it can be collected from and then go from there. How does that sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Though if someone could knock up a wee map that'd be quite cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Possibley best to get as many on board as poss , plan a rough route, then pester the heck out of everyone to fill the gaps, timescales will be a bit interesting depending of the BCers gig calender .

lurksalot Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Just a bit of fun to see how big I can get a map Ok that might work , it would need a list to follow with detail of the participants but there should be enough space to put some numbers/letters to index to the list on a route . I would need to update the picture as and when , and please excuse the iffy example above but it might work as long as the entire BC community doesnt join in, but if they do, it could be done region by region Edited January 12, 2013 by lurksalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimryan Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Wouldn't necessarily have to follow a list. Say I do the gig, no one local can collect and I go for a day out somewhere, post "I'll be going to so and so, who wants it" kinda thing, but a list as basic guide would probably help. The maps cool, would be good to watch it move around. Even more so if its a really impracticle route. I reckon this could turn out really interesting.

ThomBassmonkey Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'd be up for this, would only be able to use it for a song or two as I need a low B for my band but it'd be fun! Plenty of people around the midlands too so it'd be easy to move on around here if people are up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alstocko Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I love the idea of this, so if it ever passes near my neck of the woods, I'll add my part and pass it along.

Jimryan Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Also, had an idea, along the theme of the photo competition thread, a best change over photo, most innovative change over and best gig photo. How do they sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Jimryan, you should get some sort of award for this if it works mate I reckon it would make a good story for your local newspaper or radio station or something too. Whatever, it should definitely go on the BC blog, or maybe set up a BC Facebook site for it. It's a f***ing brilliant idea man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 On the off-chance this gets held up somewhere, as we won't all be gigging every night, we should probably include filmed rehearsals or other clips - just get some evidence of it being played, eh?

mcnach Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1358015507' post='1931932'] Or do you have to go to another BC'ers gig to collect it? Could be an idea - and we'd get to see some more music! [/quote] Brilliant idea! If it ever makes it to Scotland, count me in!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Admiral Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Great idea - strikes me as a great opportunity to perhaps raise some money for charity too. Could this be sponsored in any way or perhaps a competition 'guess the mileage', or even a world record - with the bass being auctioned at the end. It would be fantastic if some celeb players could be persuaded to play this for one song and sign it too. Mark King always strikes me as a very decent guy for example and if he came in, who else does he know? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
