North East Bass Bash - September 8th, 2013

[wateroftyne]

Forgot to mention.. I'll be bringing this lot:



..and my Roscoe Beck IV.

And, if the planets align, I'll be bringing some new gear along loaned by the manufacturer to give it its UK debut.

I'm planning to go too as I missed the last one.
[/quote] .....and I'm hoping to be coming along with Gaz - shifts permitting I'll bring some basses, an extremely small amp, and my stageClix wireless for peeps to try out. Johna

Ooooh day before my birthday and after a very late night (is 3am night? ) travel home from a gig, please please nobody bring anything shiny that a poor man in a weakend state may take a shine to. Im really hoping i can get to this one.

[Matt P]

does anyone have an Aguilar tonehammer 500 amp they could bring along? or a markbass littlemark? I would love to hear some different small heads through the midgets.

i'm not sure if the concrete bass will be making anappearance, i've got hold of it but it needs a fair amount of tlc to get it playing and i might be pushed for time before the bash.

edit *oops wrong bash... ah well never mind the point still stands*

Just met bluejay for a trade who has got me interested in coming along to this... Wonderful lady, if half of those attending are as passionate about bass as she is it'll be a wonderful day....

Not sure I can really bring anything along to compete with the spoils currently on offer though... Maybe I'll bring a looper for a demo.

I wish! Unfortunately too out of my way. Rob meant to post that on the [i]South East[/i] Bass Bash thread (and he did, eventually). Never say never, though, I may attend one of the future meetups in the North, who knows

[funkypenguin]

Ahhhh i see, i should have noticed the edit first time round would have been good to have a fellow warwick enthusiast there!!

[rk7]

Yes funkypenguin, I'm aiming to be there, and you are more than welcome to use the bass.

RK

[funkypenguin]

Awesome thanks RK the wenge neck, walnut body and east preamp are in my current thinking for when i get around to ordering a custom build from one of the UK luthiers, so i'd love to see how that combination and woods and pre sounds

Hi,

I've never been to one of these before but this is just across the tyne from me. This might sound like a stupid question, but what exactly is it? Just an opportunity to admire and maybe try some interesting kit?

Cheers,

Tom

Cool, sounds good, I'll most likely be along at some point then. I've not exactly got any interesting gear, but I might bring the bass along.

Cheers,
