rwillett Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Yep. Does anyone have any contacts with various shops such as Promenade Music that might be interested in coming along. I can definitely offer cake now 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I have a works event that Saturday, which is most annoying. I would MUCH rather be eating cake and talking bases. I wonder if/how I can get out of the works thing.... 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwillett Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Depends on the time of the works event. The M6 is 20 mins away and from there, the world is your oyster. Going the opther way is painful as the road to the M1 is slow and has lots of tractors in the way. Failing that, I can write you a sick note.

GreeneKing Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Most definitely interested. It’s been a while since my last bass bash. Can bring along my pair of Zoots, an ACG and my Cortrick NSJ5. Peter 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterjam Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I've just spotted this - definitely interested. I'm based in Dumfries, (just over the border), so you're only about 100 miles away from me. I have a couple of ACGs, and ESP 8-string, a Michael Kelly acoustic and a Chapman Stick which I'd be more than happy to bring along. I've been to a few of the Moffat Bass Bashes, as organised by Alan Cringean and the splendid Dave Perry, and they're always a great day out. I'll have a hunt through the thread, but what's the start/finish time for this event, please? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwillett Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 @peterjam You are most welcome. We haven't set a start time or an end time. We have the village hall for the whole day and from the previous evening (Fri) if we want it. Mentally I have a 10:00 to circa 17:00 timescale for the day, but there's nothing to stop people turning up at 07:00 and leaving at 20:00. We will need to be a little sensitive with noise after around 18:00 though as I have no idea what the sound proofing is like in the hall, suspect it's minimal I live 50m from the hall, and will have keys so if people want to arrive early, its no big deal. That's the village hall on the left from my office window .... Clapham is not a bustling metropolis with five sushi cafes within walking distance, we have a pub, a community run village shop and a cafe and thats it. We do have 10m sheep and fabulous views of the dals though. If people wanted to, we can arrange an evening of pizzas and playing, there are a few very good pizza joints a few miles away. Settle has options for more takeaways and is seven miles away. Thanks Rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwillett Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 We might need additional power to the village hall. I'll speak to some of the local weed growers and see if we can divert some 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lived in London for 30 years and so good coffee was a necessity for us We had to sell one of the kids to buy the machine, but it was worth it, I'm sure shes very happy where ever she is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I hope to bring along my ACG B Retro 5, 35”, two Zoot Funkmeisters both 32” scale, one a P with a Noll preamp and the other a J with a John East Uni Pre 5 knob. Finally my Cort Elrick NSJ5 35” with a Noll preamp installed. Amp and cab - Eich T900 with a single Accugroove Tri 112. Maybe a pedal board of delights. It all needs to fit into a Yaris. I seem to be lagging behind in the gear stakes 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be lagging behind in the gear stakes 😄 I was up in Kendal today trying to buy some rugby boots, failed miserably unless I wanted white (WHITE!!!) boots. You might be the closest person to Clapham (apart from me). Let me know if you need any help. We go to Kendal regularly, so happy to pick up a few basses in advance. You might even get them back Please add yourself to the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
