cetera Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It normally starts from around 10am, £10 payable on the door to cover venue hire/insurance etc and tea/coffee/cakes/pastries will be available.

Floyd Pepper Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hi All, Can I just check on some etiquette regarding selling items? It looks like I’ll be able to make it now and over the years, I’ve managed to assemble a whole host of pedals (20 +) , preamps, amps, parts, (and the odd bass) that is just gathering dust. Would it be OK to bring these with me for people to try / buy on the day? I don’t want to turn it into a shop but I have somehow managed to gather a ‘boot sale’ amount of stuff. Happy to manage the ‘for sale’ section on the day if that helps? let me know whether it’s OK to bring it down in addition to my rig? Would a percentage of anything sold or a flat donation to the good causes be OK if so? First timer so I just wanted to check! cheers, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 @Floyd Pepper Jim There's usually a table in the the front hall where you can just pile your stuff up. Just put prices on each piece and an indication of who you are. Easy! P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hi Folks, With only 2 weeks to go, here are the programme details for the 13th Basschat South East Bass Bash!! Date: Sunday 20th October 2019 Time: 10am - 5pm Entry: £10 (for the 12 year running - how's that for value for money!) Venue: Jubilee High School, Surrey, School Lane, Addlestone, Surrey KT15 1TE Venue Link: Venue website Map link: Streetmap link Workshops/Guest Speaker: 12.30pm: Pete Stroud We're really pleased to confirm that the very talented @mybass a.k.a. Pete Stroud (see attached photo) will be with us this year's Bash to talk to us about his career, or as he describes it: "...an informal look into a players past music trip through to how and why I started building basses that I use all the time now." Pete's very impressive CV includes playing with: Roger Chapman (Family), Chris Thompson (Manfred Mann), Moody Marsden Band (Bernie and Micky were Whitesnake guitarists) and also in their solo projects, Toyah Wilcox, Paul Williams' 'Blue Thunder' (Alan Holdsworth singer), Peter Green Splinter Group (yes THAT Peter Green), Buddy Whittington (Texan guitarist ex John Mayall. Some of the guests on stage with these bands include Carlos Santana, Popa Chubby, Hubert Sumlin, Steve Miller, John Mayall, Mick Taylor and a few others! And he's also worked for Korg and Marshall at the London and Frankfurt trade shows. Pete says that over the years he 'found the need' to start building my own basses due to the lack in the early years to find a decent playing action fretless bass in a shop. This has been both very costly and enjoyable!! Pete is still a very busy bassist in the UK, notably with Blues Award winner The Papa George Band (www.papageorge.co.uk) and Bad Influence (www.badinfluence.org.uk). Some good YouTube footage here: Other workshop ideas: If anybody wants to put together a workshop at short notice, that's be great. Here's a list of the ideas put forward so far: Best In Show P Bass Shoot Out Full Band environment bass test Blindfold bass test Blindfold P Bass test Cab dispersion/distance test Introduction to IEM I think the 'Best In Show idea is great by the way, so am thinking how we could make that work.. Other important info: Room layout will be something along the lines of the last couple of years with the large Hall area as the space where you can all set up & compare (loudly) your own gear, the Theatre for Workshops, the Jam Room (hopefully with the mighty Paul on drums) .... And in the Foyer will be the reception desk, Refreshments, the Gear for Sale section and the Raffle Prizes table Spaces: The Theatre for Workshops Side Room/quiet Room - smaller number of rigs in here makes it a little easier to talk & play The Jamming Room for jamming with drummers (and other strange non-bass playing people) The Main Hall (where you can set up your gear and make some low frequency vibrations) The Foyer - Refreshments, Gear For Sale table & The Raffle About Costs....Every year, it costs about £185 for the hire of the venue plus an amount for some public liability insurance cover therefore to cover those basic costs we have to charge £10 per head entrance fee to one and all. As stated before many times, it's been £10 since the event started back in 2007, so it really is fantastic value for money! Charities: We will donate all profits from the day to a worthy cause or two, probably in exactly the same way we did last year. Refreshments will be available on the day for a small charge of course which will help increase the profits and keep everyone happy! Last year, as ever, Hamster & Mrs Hamster (a.k.a. Sarah) did all the work on that and have offered to do so again, so many thanks in advance to them! How you can Help/Get Involved What would be really helpful from everyone who's interested in participating on the day is: 1. Donations of raffle prizes 2. Volunteers to help out on the day Thanks to all those who've already said they're attending - it's much appreciated and we look forward to seeing as many more of you who want to come along on the day! The South East Bass Bash Team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I'd really like to see a "cheap or expensive" blind test. Blindfold the tester, pass them a variety of basses in different price ranges to see if people really can tell the difference between "cheap or expensive" basses. Spreadsheet, let everybody have a go, and see how good we are at really telling the difference. I have a couple of ringers which could throw a spanner in the works.
