I'm onto a winner there ( ), but I'd like to see you keep a small yellow bird on your head all day! EDIT: is it a duckling?

peted Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Is there any kind of Bass Bash etiquette? I can imagine it turning into a right noise with all those amps and basses going at once. Do you do what the trade shows do and have quiet times and scheduled performance times? Is it a good idea to mark up all your gear with your name? Not that anyone here is untrustworthy or anything Edited July 18, 2008 by peted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peted Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I've created a [url="http://wiki.basschat.co.uk/info:bass_bash_etiquette"]Wiki page[/url] so people can jott down their ideas for Bass Bash etiquette. I think it would be best to keep the concepts quite 'open' and not direct i.e. I don't think we can ban Slap completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
