David Taylor Posted August 8, 2014 Author Posted August 8, 2014 Apologies for the delay in getting back on this. Things got a little hectic this week as i ended up in hospital, and when i got home earlier today i found my place had been burgled. I'm not really physically or mentaly in a possition to do anything on this at the minute, however i will get back on it once im not puking my guts up every 5mins cause of meds I've talked to a few places, including the Ley Arms mentioned above, but so far they all seem to be a little on the expensive side, unless we get the numbers to help spread the cost a bit Quote

ChunkyMunky Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I would be! My Mom's place is just down by Newton Abbot, so I'd be definitely up for a good ol' meet-up. Quote
GrahamT Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Yes, I am interested too. I really enjoyed the Dorset/Somerset bass bash. I met some nice guys in a pub skittle alley and played with their equipment!! Ooo err missus... Quote
Norm Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Hi to jimrs2k, Thor, grahamt, dom in somerset, mornats & any other Somerset & dorset lurkers, hope you guys are doing well? Would be well up for this meet up (or another s&d one). cheers, Norm. Quote
paulbass Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I'd be up for it as i've never been to a BC meet before...as long as i'm not gigging on the day. Quote
Telebass Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Interested if not busy, but would prefer Exeter. Am in West Devon, and will car pool. Deano, round trip from Wadebridge is 140 miles. Do that to pub gigs. Quote
fordbass Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Hi, I'd be interested in this if it gets off the ground, based in Taunton, but Exeter would be good, can also offer car share if required. Not the greatest in the world but do enjoy playing with my covers band and we are well booked so must be doing something right lol! Also be good just to hear from other local people if they want to "friend" me, I'm not a murderer honest lol Cheers Steve Quote
Phil Starr Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys, I need some help. I've been designing a bass cab for Basschat and have a couple of prototypes. I think they are great but then I would wouldn't I? I need some fellow bassists to come along and give them a try and make some comments so I can tweak the design. I'm happy to just organise a venue and meet up and do this informally, or if enough people want to give a little talk on speaker design or to incorporate this into a proper bass bash. All I need is some bassists to try the cabs, I'll organise the rest. Is anyone interested? I'd look for somewhere Taunton/Axminster/Honiton area probably, though I'm open to other suggestions if someone else can find a pub that will have us. Edited September 19, 2014 by Phil Starr Quote
skidder652003 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Hey Phil if its 4 ohm, I'll try and destroy it through the SVT ! Quote
yorks5stringer Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) If you'd venture into Dorset/Somerset there's always the Queens Head at Milborne Port, venue from the last Dorset Bash....? Sorry, don't want to hijack the SW Bash but it seems to have gone quiet...? Edited September 19, 2014 by yorks5stringer Quote

GrahamT Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) As my job is near Taunton and I live in Hemyock, any of the above areas would work for me. I am always keen to try out new gear. Jimrs2k has built some Fearful cabs which are awesomely powerful. He lives at Ashcott, on the Bridgwater to Street road so he may be a useful local contact for you.

JapanAxe Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 If this ever gets off the ground, don't forget to put the date and location in the thread title! Quote
