prowla Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 What's the general format? Bring your favourite bass, have a chat, maybe plug it in? Or come along and watch other people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 It's a really easy going format on the day normally... Come along, bring some of your gear if you want to, chat with other Basschatters if you want to, listen to other people play, try out some new gear if you want to, have a jam in the Jam Room if you want to, etc, etc.. An keen interest in 'all things bass' and a very friendly vibe is the order of the day really. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawelG Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Nik, when we talked before, you said that it would be cool to get somebody to give a bass lesson. Is that still an idea? I think that would be great. I can only imagine how hard it will be to find a subject fitting all the needs :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will ask around to see if anyone's available and willing to do a lesson for us. It does need a bit of narrowing down though, so perhaps people could suggest some topics that would be really useful to have covered in a bass lesson? A few years ago, Jake, a.k.a. jakenewmanbass, did a lesson for us at the West Sussex mini-Bash and that was great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
