ead Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'd come along although based out in Lancs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradwell Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'd be up for this. Weekends preferably but given plenty of advance notice I can come along whenever.

[/quote] 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.

subrob Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'd be interested. Redbridge Studios in Bolton could give 2/3 rehearsal sized rooms and they have kitchenette type facilities. Only a couple of miles from the bass lounge, too, if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub_Drop Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'd make the journey from Birmingham to a Manchester bash. Let me know if someone organises it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG Flatline Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 If people were interested I'd cross the Pennines with a Cog-loaded pedalboard. Happy to attend without the board too if that's breaking forum rules or anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99mustang Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, I've not been on the forum in a long time. This thread has caught my attention!

anaxcrosswords Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happynoj Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm moving to Shropshire this week. Would potentially be up for a little trip to Manchester if I could fit it in with work. I can bring Warwick basses and amp, and a large pedalboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Biglump Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
