Early-Bird tickets are on sale until the end of December, but anyone that has further queries or questions, do feel free to reach out to us. www.theukbassguitarshow.com

@Bass Guitar Review According to Eventbrite, Earlybird tickets are on sale until 24th Dec not end of December. Difficult to know which to go for with no artists announced for Sunday.

Any idea when you will have the full program?

HI Bass Bunny,

The tickets are to be extended till the 31st, as everyone is wrapped up with Christmas of course. (no pun intended). We expect further artists to be announced in the New Year (really no later than Jan). We have already a number of ongoing conversations with artists, that we hope to compliment and have appear on Sunday. Of course, we are often governed by artist availability, but rest assured, the full line-up will be good. Thanks for you message and interest Bass Bunny and hope that we see you at the show! Best wishes TUKBS & BGR

Are (we) Basschat having a meet and greet corner/table/area/ to ‘catch up’. Would it be feasible to try and ‘Cop’ a freebie from the organisers. Good for us and brilliant for them.

Thanks for confirming. I will definitely be going as the original Manchester show was excellent.

I've just sent the email - it goes in batches so yours should arrive today at some point. I'm just finding out if I can paste the BC offer links on here as well.

Here we go!

The UK Bass Guitar Show is a two day event, dedicated wholly to all things low-end at one of Manchester’s top venue’s, Manchester Central.

Organised by GME, the same team that delivers the UK’s biggest percussion event The UK Drum Show, this modern and perfectly located venue in the heart of Manchester City centre, has fantastic local and national transport links, along with an 800 seated auditorium to witness your bass heroes demonstrate their skills and musicality.

Whether you are new to bass, or a well versed professional, The UK Bass Guitar Show provides a variety of different experiences over the weekend of the 28th & 29th March 2020.

This action packed weekend provides show visitors with the opportunity of hearing and learning from some of the most respected artist and educators from around the world, along with trying and buying the very latest gear innovations from the best brands in the business. Visit any one of the fantastic brand booths and learn from the folks that make or distribute bass guitars, amps’ effects or related accessories that is available on the market, all under one roof.

So whether you wish to seek out your latest low-end purchase, see bass legends appear on the main stage, take in a one of our masterclasses or one of the many live educationexperiences over the weekend, come and be part of this national event that celebrates all things bass.

A word from the organiser, Neil Golding:

Quote

 

“I originally launched the London Bass Guitar Show several years ago for a small family publisher. It changed hands from one publisher to another, finally to be amalgamated into a general guitar show. Following comments observed on Basschat I made the decision to present once again a dedicated show exclusively for bass players! 

The bass community is an important one and like it’s rhythm section drumming brothers and sisters, it deserves its very own spotlight to champion the art of playing bass; it’s cool, why wouldn’t you! 

Artists Richard Bona, Jerry Barnes, Leland Sklar, Marco Mendoza have all been confirmed, with other great names in the mix we hope to announce soon! 

Bass players, this is the single show for you – It’s for your community of low-end lovers, so spread the word, come and see what we can offer you and come and hang out for the weekend at a show just for you. Like before, we want to prove to all the cynics, bass players are worthy of a dedicated show just for them – so help me prove them wrong and once again, come along. 

Love and Peace"

I've checked their website, and I see that they still haven't got a lot firmed down in terms of star guests and their slots, especially on the Sunday. (Now, where have I seen this situation before, I wonder...? ;) )

We've got a gig on the Saturday, so that day is a bust, which is a shame because, so far, it looks like the better day to attend. On the other hand, the Sunday is all 'TBC' so we may still be surprised.

Had the ticket been a fiver more, and been for the whole event I would have considered it. But for some reason charging extra for the main stage performances gets my back up.

All or nothing I guess.

You're not the only one.  £20 to visit what's effectively a shop window for the industry would have been fine if the performances were included like they used to be. Having second thoughts now.

Hi guys, I was looking at the games that weekend, no premier league on 28/29th March? 

 

I'm thinking about taking a weekend for myself, what better escape than basses and football? 

A game on Friday would also be nice, premier league or championship. Can anyone help on this matter? Thanks!
