Jimryan Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Donald, as you've more of an idea of what's happening up there, maybe put a post on the FB too? Might help find a few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm based in Edinburgh but I'll be playing in Glasgow on the 14th, at Stereo... If the bass could be up in Glasgow by then maybe we can sort something out? I have another gig in Edinburgh on the 15th... but that'll be my last of the year as I'm taking a break for Xmas, until the 30th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMG456 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 No gigs in my hectic schedule now until the end of January... maybe the bass will be back up here o it's travels next year? Cheers Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Would have loved to have partaken but work dominates my life right now so gigs are on the back burner until April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Same here. I've been wanting to take part since it started, but my band is nowhere near gigging capability as yet (much to my dismay). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle psychosis Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I've got no gigs planned but I'd try to head along to an Edinburgh based handover/gig (McNach??) if I was available. He's too nice to plug his band himself but Sea Bass Kid are really good, we should make a basschat event of it if possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm in Edinburgh but I'm not gigging with Jen and the Gents until the 3rd of January. If that fits then I'd be up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyboy Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks all. There's no rush for The Bass to be heading off,so an extended Scottish holiday should be fine. EMG456's gig at end of January should be ok. It'll be coming up on the 17th Dec and Cameron and Campbell Owens will use it on 18th in Glasgow,and be using it in Falkirk on the 20th. That means that mcnach could use it on 30th and Beerofthebass on 3rd Jan. If anyone else has anything that's be great. Thanks to those interested but with no gigs, I'm sure if you wanted to get involved or have a shot at a rehearsal or suchlike that's be fine.

mcnach Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I like the way this is shaping! I'll be back from Southern Territories late on the 29th, so I don't have a lot of time to travel anywhere to pick the bass unfortunately. If Martin (Beer of the Bass) were able to get it by then, I could retrieve it on the 30th, use it for my gig, and then give it back for his Jen & The Gents gig...

Hutton Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I've got something in Aberdeen in the New Year but don't know the date yet. I'll keep an eye on the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm around and not very busy between Christmas and Hogmanay, so I'm sure we could arrange some sort of handover before McNach's gig on the 30th, mine on the 3rd, then onwards...

Donnyboy Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 I''l be finished with it after the 20th December ,so there's still some time for others to get involved before the 30th. If not , we'll arrange a handover before mcnach's gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyboy Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Beer of the Bass and mcnach will both be using the Relay Bass tomorrow night in Edinburgh. What next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 And for anyone who might be around Edinburgh tomorrow night, the gig is at the Counting House on West Nicholson Street. Jen and the Gents are on at 8pm and Sea Bass Kid at midnight, so why not come for the whole evening and see us both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, don't be shy!!! I'm in Edinburgh but I can probably transport it with me to neighbouring centres of population without much hassle.

mcnach Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The Baton is in my possession... surely there must be other BC members reasonably close to Edinburgh that want to participate. Make yourselves known, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razze06 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm in Edinburgh, but I don't have any gigs planned for the next few days (or weeks). I'm recording on sunday, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
