waldemar Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 >My mates own that pub, the eagle. Pretty cool place. +1 - a darn good venue too, played there Friday just gone..! I'd be up for attending, I reckon. Usual caveats apply. w./ Quote
AndyTravis Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Any evening with fair warning. Or weekend. Sorry guys x Quote
Bass Culture Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 There must be a few of us Cestrians who make the trip over too. Colour me interested. Quote
Dazed Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Ok where do these things usually take place? Pub / rehearsal studio / hotel conference room?? Quote

[/quote] What band are you in? I go to a huge amount of gigs in Manchester/Salford and was at the Lamp Oil (The Eagle Inn) on Friday. Quote

Bradwell Posted March 13, 2015 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. Quote
subrob Posted April 12, 2015 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
Sub_Drop Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I'd make the journey from Birmingham to a Manchester bash. Let me know if someone organises it. Quote
TG Flatline Posted April 18, 2015 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
99mustang Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited May 10, 2015 by 99mustang Quote
Musicman20 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 New to the Manc/Cheshire area. I'm in South Manc/Cheshire so I'm up for it! Quote
anaxcrosswords Posted June 10, 2015 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
happynoj Posted June 11, 2015 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

As a debutant, what would I be expecting to happen at a bash, apart from me potentially looking very silly? [/quote] 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.

Biglump Posted June 13, 2015 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
steve-soar Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Biglump, I'd be in that phone box with you. Quote
Biglump Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Well, we'd have to use Uke basses in the phone box. But it's a start. Quote
Mr H Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 [quote name='Biglump' timestamp='1434195621' post='2797510'] Wirral Bass Bash in a phonebox, anyone? [/quote] I'll be three - find a shed! Quote
