josh3184 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Has been briefly discussed in the lefty market thread, how do people fel about a lefty bass bash? I wnet to the Harrogate one recently and whilst being fun, it was disapointing being the only southpaw there! We have a venue and date in mind (thanks to Biggsy- everyone thank him! Do it now!) which is: Saturday April 18th in Somersham, Cambridgeshire Thoughts, and anyone who would be tentatively interested, please post something!

I'm happy to make a trip or two to the Huntingdon station to make pick-ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggsy Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Anyone's welcome, but the main intention is to try out different left-handed basses! I told my mates about this last night and they nearly wet themselves, it's quite a strange thing to the non-muso! It could make for a funny, random Youtube video, a load of lefty bass players jamming together. It could even be some kind of world record?!

coasterbass Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Sounds great to me. There's a little bit of a problem in that I'm supposed to be going to see Mrs Coasterbass' mates in Winchester that day However, I might be able to convince her to take the train, and for me to join them later in the day. its only a 130 miles after all So, I reckon its doable if everything starts early enough, and then I'll have to head off about 3.30/4pm. Would that fit with the plans so far? If all goes well I'll bring my Stingray, Jazz Deluxe and Thumb V. Do we need to bring amps too?

Amps would be really helpful as I can only guarantee one for sure - I have a spare pair of 1x12's which could be driven by an amp each and allow for 3 people to play at the same time, we shouldn't need a great deal more than that but it can't hurt!
