Damn I would be in my glory at a only Bass anything

[Bass4real]

In the U.S. I'm sure somewhere in this huge nation there's ALL BASS guitar events,

In Pennsylvania I have not heard of something , anything for only Bass players or BASS Guitars. 

I'm gonna try to do it, 

I'll probably be accused of being a

racist bassist and holding a Nazi BASS PLAYER rally.

anyway 

 JUST LAUGH at idiots that say that special kind of BS .

A quick google shows me

https://bassbootcamp.com/bass-bootcamp-expo/

 

Probably better doing a search before ranting that there aren't any

 

There seem to be quite a lot of bass only events in the US and even more guitar events that have a bass event tacked on. You seem to be quite well served for them.

I don't think bass meetups have ever been described as such.

 

I don't know whether there has been a MAGA bass meetup though, so I could be wrong.

It is nice to have events that aren't swamped with guitarists in general.  Go for it.  We always have lots of fun and plenty of...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...cake.  Don't forget the cake.  Especially if it's home made.  Very important.  Write it down at once before you get involved with the organisation of an American version of the Bass Bash.  Oh and Good Luck!  We will expect photos and such.

Of course, you would be welcome to come to any of ours if you skip over the pond when there's one on.

That kinda tears the arse out of it.  The point of a bash being to see what others are playing and their thoughts about it.  You get a chance to show off interesting and often quite old instruments and peripherals.

 

Let's not forget the DB brigade either.  It's great to see the two types in the same place.  Just ask @Owen.

What's in your case?

- An M15.

Wow, 15 strings, do come in and have some cake!

I can not trust myself to go to Bassbashes. I ALWAYS fall for something and buy one later on. Always.

It would probably be called a racist Nazi rally by the idiots that call every gathering that's not about them a Nazi rally.

Especially if they are an actual guitar playing Nazi.

: ?)

Joking around ( kinda )

I feel your trepidation.

 

Stiff upper lip old chap.  Don't let the bastards grind your coffee.

If people keep calling you a Nazi, maybe it's time for some introspection...

'Nuff politics thank you, folks.

But hearing MAGA is the enemy of the U.S.A. ?  Really ?  I MEAN REALLY ?

 

We have an organisation here called SAGA.  Although it is a holiday firm dealing primarily with the older generation, the acronym is fondly referred to as Sex And Games for the Aged by those in the know.

 

Any similarities?  Asking for a friend...

If I could get there by actually skipping there it would be a lot more fun than the 

7 hr flight  . Roundtrip NY to Heathrow

$574.00 not as expensive as I thought.

 Thanks for the invite 

I've not been to the UK since 2008.

I know it would be great fun

I pride myself in not being politically correct, If I think it , I'll say it , but I'm a person that doesn't do to others what I don't want done to me.

Don't worry about it 

I don't think you were inappropriate at all ask and I'll answer 

I have a question for you 

I would like to know what people in the know, know  ?

You've aroused my curiosity

Translation:  Those with the knowledge, know.  It's just a way of referring to something without saying exactly what it involves.  Only those with the experience will understand what you're talking about but there's no need to share that information with the whole room.

 

From Bowie's Song, Where are We Now?

 

Quote

Where are we now?
Where are we now?

The moment you know
You know, you know

As long as there's sun
As long as there's sun
As long as there's rain
As long as there's rain
As long as there's fire
As long as there's fire
As long as there's me
As long as there's you

 

Quite poignant in retrospect.

 

 

Are we in the know yet?  Hint, you usually have to be of grand-parenting age to be aware of what goes on at SAGA holidays when the grand-kids are at home with their parents and there is no-one to pester them to babysit.

In my entire life no one has ever called me a Nazi  , where is your sense of humor

I was joking 

Annex the sudetenland  lol your a funny guy 

Sorry I've no interest in annexing anything let alone the Czech Republic , but I am Interested in the beauty of Eastern European women though . :?)

in my opinion 

They are the most lovely , beautiful , and sweetest women I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and  the fact they aren't American women.

 I know because I married an Eastern European from the north caucus region in Southern Russia . Stavrapol 

But alas All good things come to an end.

 

C ya mr.funny

I know you were joking but for humour, our Frank is right up there with the best of them.

 

If you ever come across (don't) the BassChat Den of Iniquity (the DoI), you will understand.  If you are already in the know, you know... you know?
