I had been thinking of posting something along the lines of "is there a midlands bass bash?" for a while now.

Guess you've just answered my question, so you could count me in!

[budget bassist]

Yeah, i'd come

[Johngh]

Be good to have another one. Count me in

[Geek99]

Budget bassist organised the last one - any hints ?

[pantherairsoft]

I'm well up for it!

its not really fair to ask sam to do it again this time.

[Geek99]

I wasn't asking him to do it again (he did do a good job though)- 'any hints?' meant 'any advice on how to deal with the grosvenor, price the door etc'. I don't have lots of freetime (small baby, job with long hours etc look at my posting times), but all the current bashes appear to be miles away london, scotland etc

And I thought it was time we had our own. If I did it it would be pretty spit and sawdust - I can make a few calls but that's about it.

[Jarhead]

I'd be up for it. Don't know about venues though.

Oh ok sorry, the grosvenor was £50 i think last time, worked out about £3 on the door covered it, also food is a bit dodgy as they won't let you bring your own and if you want it catering buffet style, they want an exact headcount and i think about £5 per head, so i didn't bother

[retroman]

I'm game. Depends on when and where

[Dread Bass]

Depending on when. I could make an appearance.

[Geek99]

@budgetbassist - did you have to pay in advance , or pay a deposit?
I seem to recall a mug of coins

@all: when can you all do , and what's the max door price you'd consider reasonable ?

[budget bassist]

i think i paid it all in one go once i'd collected the money
and i'd say no more than a fiver at the very most

[pantherairsoft]

£5 tops seems fair.

If there's enough people, maybe ask Rob @ Magnet studios and hire out a large room or two...? He does snacks etc, has a backline of Ampegs, Mesa and a few others and we get both sealed rooms
and the foyer for loud/quiet spaces

Just an idea

[budget bassist]

ooh that IS a good idea! not seen how big the rooms at magnet are though, they have some amazing backline though!

The rooms aren't exactly small, but if there's a few people there, it'd be nicer to have a sit in a pub with a pint and chat rather than be stood around in a practice room with no decent lighting or ventilation.

Assuming there's no drummers coming for a jam, there's no need for soundproofed rooms anyway, plus I'm sure one or two people wouldn't mind bringing rigs (I wouldn't have any problems taking mine).

[budget bassist]

true, a pub is generally a good place for a bash, a few people usually bring rigs anyway

[pantherairsoft]

Agreed. Pub would be good. The Magnet thing was just an idea... :-)

[Geek99]

So were the grosvenor willing to take booking with no deposit?

How many of those showing interest actually attended?
