JakeBrownBass Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 i may be able to get there depending on whats happening nearer the time!! Jake Quote
RichValentine Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Ill definitely be there. Sounds like it will be good fun. Quote
mcgraham Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 That sounds like a good date, doesn't conflict with Valentine's day or anything else on my calendar. I'll see if I can drag some fellow bassists unaware of BC along to it. Mark Quote
Tait Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) i dunno whether i really want non-basschatters at a bash Edited January 16, 2009 by LWTAIT Quote
budget bassist Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) It's been done before, and as long as you know they're alright then i don't really see the problem. Telling them no presents a bit of an unwelcoming image, and that's not an image the site really want's to have i'd think. Anyone can join the forum, so why can't any bassist come to the bash? Mrs Tinman doesn't play bass (i don't think?) but we all love her Edited January 17, 2009 by budget bassist Quote
Tait Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 yeah, but it'd still be nice to see them join up and say hi before coming to the bash. i'm not too against it, i just think that the bass bash is a basschat thing. Quote

mcgraham Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Lwtait I think that's a shocking attitude to take. A bassist is a bassist, if it inspires them to get on with practicing and opens their eyes to fellow musicians what's the harm? Seriously, talk about elitist! Mark Quote
clauster Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Hmmmm, might be able to combine this with a visit to friends in Long Eaton. Quote

Mark[/quote] look, quite honestly i dont feel strongly enough about this to argue or even take offence at you calling me an elitist. so i'll just explain why i dont really want them coming along and drop it. budget bassist has organised all of this, i think he's got the right to decide really. i shouldve explained my reasoning in my first post, i admit it does make me look a bit of a d!ck. but we're a group, and this is a group meeting. theyre not part of our group, so why should they come and meet up with us? all i ask is they join and contribute to basschat a bit. if they enjoy talking about basses, i cant see that this would be a hardship, and if they dont like talking about basses then what do they want to come to the bash for? if they cant be bothered to get onto a computer with internet access (most people have them these days) and drop into to say hi and contribute to our discussions, which, IMO, is the polite thing to do, then why should i be happy about them playing my £1000 bass? these were just thoughts that ran through my head when i saw you were planning on brinning non-basschatters to the bash, and like i said, i really dont feel too strongly about it. im happy with whatever budget bassist decides, and what i've just been saying isn't an argument, im just giving the reasoning behind what i said in order to make myself look less like a d!ck really, and in hope that you'll at least see my side of the argument, even if you disagree with it.

budget bassist Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 I think that anyone should be allowed to come, really. Basschat is a community where anyone can join, yeah it would be nice to have a hello before someone we don't know pops in, but like i say, there may be someone who's interested in starting up who may want to come along and see what's what, but i think it's a bit harsh to just say no, though for the sake of argument, i'll establish a few ground rules. [b]1.[/b] Any none basschatter should accompanied by a basschatter, and let us know if you're going to be bringing someone, though excluding people isn't what we want, obvously we don't want every tom dick and harry coming along. [b]2.[/b] Don't bring too many non-bass chatters, this space is paid for by basschat i suppose and it is a basschat event, but i'll leave it up to you as to what constitutes "too many", just be sensible. [b]3.[/b] If you do bring someone, make sure you know them at least, we all respect our gear and we expect everyone else to act accordingly. I think that sounds fair, lets keep the hostility to a minimum, yeah? Quote

ARGH Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Im bringing a Polish Bassist to the northern,his English isnt too hot,but his playing is..... To exclude him would be silly. Quote
budget bassist Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Just thought i'd bump this up for anybody who hasn't already seen it Edited January 29, 2009 by budget bassist Quote
agroupuk Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) I fancy coming down - that is if anyone near Blackpool could give me and a bit of gear a lift? Anyone?Pleasey weasey? Edited January 29, 2009 by agroupuk Quote
Starvolt Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Mentioned this to my mate today, so he'll probabally be coming with me. 30 days (I think) Quote
wmsheep Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Ooh, just seen this - I`ll try to come along this time. Quote
Andyalfa Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 If I can get a pass, I'll try to get along. No point bringing my P-Bass I suppose, but I can bring the Stagg if anyone fancies a go. Quote
budget bassist Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Bring what you want, i'm sure some people wouldn't mind a go on a USA precision! Quote
Andyalfa Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Complete with the famous (and pretty much unused) S1 switch...OK, why not. Do I need to bring an amp? Quote
juice Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 hi to all, work depending, I am hoping to come along & will bring both bases with me. anyways put me down as a possible, Thanks Juice Quote
budget bassist Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 Bring whatever you want There will most likely be other amps there, but you can if you want! Quote

Bass wise I'm now bringing the Shuker (its arrived!!), the Thumb, and the Stingray. I'll probably bring the ATK305 as well as its still for sale! Sam - hope you're bringing the $$?! I'd like to have a go on it again for old time's sake! Quote
