I'd be up for this. Weekends preferably but given plenty of advance notice I can come along whenever.

Ok where do these things usually take place?
Pub / rehearsal studio / hotel conference room??

The South East Bash was held in a secondary school, there was a big hall and a theatre so plenty of space and relatively cheap to rent out for the day.

A pub with a decent size function room could work quite well and they'd be able to provide catering.

Not sure a hotel would be too happy about having a load of noisy bassist disturbing the peace.

Rehearsal studios would have excellent facilities for bands but I think it's probably better to have one or two big rooms rather than lots of small rooms.

Hi guys, I've not been on the forum in a long time.

This thread has caught my attention! Hope it comes off, Manc not far from Blackpool, and a damn good Pakistani café , with amazing food in Piccadilly to boot :)

I’m going to sound like a total nob by asking a question that must have been asked a gazillion times before. As a debutant, what would I be expecting to happen at a bash, apart from me potentially looking very silly?

You should expect me to look silly as well.

Forget about looking silly, and take a look at some of my Bash blog entries. It's great fun and you don't have to show off your bass playing if you don't want to, you can simply listen to others and make it a social event.

Thanks Bluejay, the big and small event blogs give some idea as to how these events go.
I would certainly come along to look and learn and meet up.

Just as an aside, is there a wish list of things to make a bass bash happen, a sort of 'how to organize a Bass Bash' guide anywhere.
Just so as we can appraise any venues we find with respect to shortlisting them.
I'm guessing, the list goes
Suitable venue, transport (public & private)
Availability
Price
Date
So do the needs of a Bassbash choose the venue, at least if we have that we may know where to start.
Wirral Bass Bash in a phonebox, anyone?
