urb Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I'd love to be there but it clashes with the London Jazz Festival and a certain Mr Marcus Miller playing his special Miles Davis 'Tutu' tribute on the closing night of the fest (at the Barbican) - plus I have a gig the night before in Birmingham - a shame because it's a great day and well worth going to - please make it at the start of November next year... you guys have a whole year to book the next one! Have fun all those that attend - it's superbly organised and is a feast for bass players of all persuasions - far too much nice gear and good players... Mike Quote
Gary Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Hey Mike Couldn't get it any earlier I'm afraid. We pretty much booked it after the event last year. The only earlier date again would probably have clashed with Music Live which people complained about last year (not that it had much affect on us to be quite honest) Was good to catch up last year. Say hello to Marcus and Bibi Edited September 15, 2009 by Gary Quote

I've got a ticket for the Marcus Miller gig too, but missing Adam Nitti just a few miles down the road from where I live??? Gah.....what to do?? I missed last years bass day, I don't want to miss it again! Quote
alexclaber Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 My RIM Custom 5 and a few Barefaced cabs should be up there with Robbie of RIM Custom Basses, maker of exceedingly fine instruments! Alex Quote
jacko Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Hey gary, we'll be coming down from Scotland as usual but we'll be needing to access the disabled parking at the back of the building. Any chance you could add a contact section to the website so we can book it in advance? The receptionist was a bit sniffy last year about letting us in without a prior reservation. cheers graeme Quote

Is that what you need? Let me know if not, or if you have any problems. See you there. P.S literally a day away from confirming another artist. The main person in this band is not strictly a bassist but has played with some the the world class bass players and is an awesome musician himself. I am a great fan of his music myself and his bass player is great. Gary Edited September 17, 2009 by Gary Quote
jacko Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks for the pointer Gary . I'll give them a call closer to the date. Quote
AndyTravis Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 I missed last year, I worked the first 3 for Dawsons, i plan to go purely as a punter for the first time this year, or to hand over a prize of some sort. Spoke to Stevie the other day, and it's all looking great. Quote
Gary Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 Hi All Just to let you know Poogie Bell has just confirmed Also there will be an after how part on the Monda at Band on the Wall featuring Bass Day artists. Quote

Alex[/quote] Alex, remind me to say hi and to hopefully try your bass (and any others Robbie brings) if you're ok with it. I'm rather GASing for a Rim but haven't actually played any yet. Oh, and FWIW, the Compact is an absolute godsend weight-wise! Oh and Graeme, let's hope we both give the flu a miss this year. I don't know about you but I've ended up with something flu-like the last 2 times I've been. Sadly, I won't be able to wear my Alembic t-shirt with pride anymore seeing as I now haven't got one. You'll have to bring pics so I can drool over yours. Edited September 22, 2009 by 4000 Quote
RobEvansBass Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 hey hey, anyone who's going to bassday this year, come and say hi! i'll be playing during the day on the boom stage with a cracking band (jason cole on drums, luke rendell on guitar and vox) if anybody fancies coming to watch? see you all there, Rob Quote
jacko Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I know what you mean shaun. I was off work two days after the last one. Mind you it's a long day for us - up at 6 to drive to mancheser then driving home straight after. It takes it out of you. Quote
ezbass Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 A potential trip to the Mother In Law's in Altrincham that weekend means I may be able to make it! Quote
