The hall is nice and big, so bring your friends! Seaton Delaval Arts Centre Avenue Road Seaton Delaval Northumberland NE25 0DU [url="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=NE25+0DU&sll=55.073137,-1.525001&sspn=0.026683,0.062656&g=seaton+delaval%5D&ie=UTF8&ll=55.072311,-1.525919&spn=0.006671,0.015664&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr"]clicky for map[/url] It's not far from Blyth, Cramlington and Whitley Bay, and it's ten minutes from the north side of the Tyne Tunnel... just up the A19. The load-in is a doddle.. straight off the street into the hall. Parking isn't tricky, but you might need to leave your car in adjacent street. Tea & coffee will be available. As mentioned earlier, a couple of quid towards hall hire would be nice but optional. So... what y'all bringing?

Eight Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hi mate, What goes on at a bass bash? [quote]1) Who's up for it in principle?[/quote] Yeah I would be. Assuming total beginners are welcome to come along and try to weasle information and tips out of you all. [quote]2) Would you prefer a weekend afternoon or a weekday evening?[/quote] I'd be easy on that one. Probably would choose a weekend afternoon just to make sure I could get there in time and not have to worry about when I finish work. [quote]3) Would you be prepared to chip in - literally - a quid or two for hall hire?[/quote] Sure thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hello! [quote]What goes on at a bass bash?[/quote] Your assumptions are correct! It's basically a bass w@nkfest, where bass peeps of all levels get together, bring their stuff (if they have any - don't worry if you have nowt), we all try it out, we talk nonsense and argue about the finer points of nothing at all. They're great. Don't worry - it's not about 'look how mint I am at playing teh BASE!'.. otherwise I'd be hiding at home. And, of course you're welcome.

Eight Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hahahaha, sounds good. I'd be unlikely to bring anything unless I happen to have bought a new bass by then - not embarassing myself by being seen in public with my current piece of sh*t. But my car has decent space in the back if anyone needed a hand transporting gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassoctopus Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Feb is busy for me, so I can't commit to anything. But in principle 1)yes 2) Don't care 3) yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) 1) Who's up for it in principle? Me 2) Would you prefer a weekend afternoon or a weekday evening? Either / or 3) Would you be prepared to chip in - literally - a quid or two for hall hire? No worries. I know a few guys over on Ginger Gits voiced interest so we can flag it up on there. As WoT said, it's just a chance to shoot the breeze and talk sh*te with like minded eejits. Edited January 17, 2009 by warwickhunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAlonBass Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Don't care where, don't care when, I'm there. and EIGHT-don't worry about owning a piece of sh*t-I'm taking my old Vester (Warwick copy) along for Warwickhunt to try out and take the p*ss.

spacecowboy Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Geordie Bassbash? with at least 3 of us Warwick'd up to the eyeballs it'll be too good to miss, i'll have to do some travelling to get back to my homeland but it'll be worth it, as at the moment im a Geordie in Pompey......... but in a year who knows i may have come back to my senses.

JPJ Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 1) Who's up for it in principle? [color="#0000FF"]Count me in, but the sooner you pick a date, the better, as with my diary at the moment I need at least three weeks notice.[/color] 2) Would you prefer a weekend afternoon or a weekday evening? [color="#0000FF"]Weekend afternoon would suit me better and I'd have more chance of making it.[/color] 3) Would you be prepared to chip in - literally - a quid or two for hall hire? [color="#0000FF"]No problems, I'm happy to pay a share.[/color] 4) Can we have a strict embargo on the number of Warwicks allowed in the room at anyone time? [color="#0000FF"]Yes please, (ducks and runs whilst weaving to avoid thrown objects) [/color] [color="#0000FF"]Warning: I may wear my [color="#FFA500"]basschat tee-shirt[/color], therefore the wearing of sunglasses may be advisory if not mandatory [/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 If it's on a weekend, I might be tempted to turn it into a voyage to the homeland and see the family etc. Depends on date, circumstance and cash of course..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far0n Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Count me in folks, I'll bring as much as I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~tl Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'd certainly consider a jaunt down if the date is right. Afternoon is certainly better for me since the last train back up is around 9.30 IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Reet.. I'm asking them to pencil in Sunday, March 1st, 2pm-5pm. How do y'all feel about that? And AARGH... of course, softy southerners are invited. It would be fab to meet you all. HOWEVER... don't bring any of your wealth or tales of indoor toilets with you. It makes us nervous.

markytbass Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Providing I've got a working car I'll come. Have you got lecky up there yet or central heating, if not don't worry I'll bring an extra jumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
