I once or twice have threatened to organise one up here in Aberdeen, but I've been too lazy to take it any further. Edited April 13, 2015 by neepheid Quote

neepheid Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Moffat is off the A74(M), between Glasgow and Carlisle, a bit north of Lockerbie and Dumfries. Quote

Bass_Guardian Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 Should have a West Coast Bass bash Say maybe Ayrshire? Quote
Cameronj279 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I'd be more than happy to go to another Scottish bass bash. Would offer help organising it but quite frankly I'd be more of a hinderance than a help! Quote
Soul-Fi Steve Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I'd be up for a Scottish bass bash..... but moving southward in a couple of months time Quote
Soul-Fi Steve Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Sorry for hopping on this thread but would any Scottish bass players be interested in this?

dmccombe7 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 i would go depending on distance obviously. Is Perth not more central to capture majority of Scotland. More than likely Glasgow or Edinburgh will have most players tho. Dave Quote
Funky Dunky Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I'm in Ayrshire, would certainly be up for a Scottish bass bash. Quote

Bass_Guardian Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 [quote name='skelf' timestamp='1436799668' post='2820865'] 20/3/16 is the next Moffat Bass Bash. [/quote] Cheers Skelf, I'll pencil that in! Do you need to bring your own rig etc? Quote
skelf Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 You don't really need to bring anything if you don't want to. On the website there will be a list of most of the guys going and they list the gear they are bringing you can do the same and if there are duplicates it is easy to sort out so that one person brings the item rather than two. Means we get more gear with as much variation as possible for everyone to have a look at. Quote

[/quote] I just show up with my ticket (and better half) and have a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable day out. Great people, well organised and always a great demo from the guest. Steve Lawson this year who i had not heard much about was exceptionally interesting and a comedian as well. I can see how a more central venue would draw a bigger crowd but that's what makes the Moffat show a bit more relaxing because its not all bassists doing their funk slap thang. Some very talented bassists attending and have heard some nice techniques. Did miss the jam session this year. That should be revived as makes for god fun just listening to the guys. Dave Quote
jacko Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 next year's bash pencilled in. I could bring just about everything in my sig if wanted. Quote

jacko Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Looked at my Sig again and decided I'd become a right pretentious twat so I've amended it. Still looking forward to the next bash tho' Quote
neepheid Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I just randomly got excited at the prospect of next year's Moffat bash and checked that I've put in my/band calendar. I had. Phew! Sod Christmas, roll on March Quote
