Then you are in the right place. 1 hour ago, Glyn plays bass said: What happens at these things? Ypu turn up with whatever basses, amps, FX, anything else, you feel like bringing and then we all look at/try out whatever we are interested in. That and talk about basses all day long. It's a gas and it gives you GAS. 1 hour ago, Glyn plays bass said: do I need to book a ticket? You do not, just turn up on the day, pay a tenner and you're in. It's the best tenner you'll spend all year. 1 hour ago, Glyn plays bass said: thanks No problemo.

Another point worth mentioning is that we are also mostly masons so we tend to drink pints of Crème de menthe.

WalMan Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Day after wifey's birthday, and was planning to do the gig @ Trading Boundaries on 22/10 so it'll be a late night, but should be doable. Now what to bring 'cos it won't all fit in the car!! 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Thanks Colin. What will the seminars going to be? Guests? Don't forget the raffle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalMan Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Looks like I'll be running late, but should still make it. Tickets for Trading Boundaries the night before for wifey's birthday, which'll be a lateish one once I've driven home. If nothing else I need to be there in the hope of delivering @hen barn's 2019 raffle prize that we never managed to arrange to meet up to exchange!! Found it in the garage in a box of pedals when I was looking for something else this afternoon Edited June 12, 2022 by WalMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dready Zeppelin Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Good Evening Everybody. Sorry to seem ignorant But i have never been to an event like this before, So, Can Anyone Please tell me What actually happens at one of these Events? as I have no idea. Are there guest appearances? is there a Concert? I can only assume there are Guitars on display and for sale possible Bass Expert Luthiers? Thank you for your time Daniel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your time Daniel Well, you turn up whenever you like, after 10am usually. Bring whatever bass equipment you like, pay your £10, find a place to set your gear up and then show other people your gear and check out other attendees gear. You can spend all day chatting about bass with other people as enthusiastic about bass as you are! I remember going to my first with one small amp and one bass and I was foolish enough to set up next to @cetera who has a gazillion beautiful basses and yet he, and everyone else, made me very welcome to the point that I now try to attend all the Bashes wherever they are. Believe me, it's the best tenner you'll ever spend! Edited June 22, 2022 by Frank Blank 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
