Born 2B Mild Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Bass Gear is organising (along with Zon Guitars) an evening of sublime sonic bass beauty that will feature [url="http://michael-manring.com/"]Michael Manring[/url] and [url="http://www.myspace.com/alexanderbershadsky"]Alex Bershadsky[/url]. Details are being sorted, but it is most likely to be held in Harrogate on the evening of 19th October. I think there will be a nominal ticket price involved but we're trying to keep this genuinely low. I was torn between waiting for more details to be known before posting this or just getting the date out quick, so interested folk can get it in their diaries. So, you can see which thought I went with! Now, I've got an intimate venue in mind but it would be really good if you could do the poll thing so I can always change venues to suit numbers. It won't commit you. NB: These things don't crop up too often, especially up north, so I hope we can have a good turn out as it could encourage more such events. Thanks, Phil Edited October 23, 2010 by Born 2B Mild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomEndian Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I think you already know (via Twitter) that I'm dead keen for this, but midweek might be a real bugger. Once details are finalised, I'll be able to say one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bass Doc Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 If this does take place can you be sure to have a good tuner available for Mr. Manring - he seems to have difficulty in this aspect whilst performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenochrome Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Phil, I've got a prior commitment on 19th October so can't attend. If my other thing gets cancelled then I'd like to attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 As a fanatical Zon user I would love to go to this but I don't think I'd get the time off work to enable me to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Last time I saw Manring he was just phenomenal. To be honest I find a lot of his stuff difficult to listen to at home but he is an astonishing player to watch. I just checked out Alex B as well - some pretty amazing stuff going on there as well. God knows what it might sound like to hear these two playing together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Can you add a poll option of "oh god i would LOVE to see this... but it's the other end of the smegging country. Curse you, geography"..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Lol! nice one. I did read a guy once berating Manring on a youtube coment about his "constant fiddling about" with the machine heads during songs I will try my best and make it to the event. Will be bringing a bass playng pal with me. I will be going from the Chester area, so its maybe 80 or so miles.

Bass Gear are hosting the event as we are a Zon dealer and are based in Harrogate. It could be anywhere in the north really but Harrogate is only 15 miles north of Leeds and is within about 90 minutes or so drive from the Manchester, Mersey, Sheffield and Tyne conurbations. Being on 'my patch' means I have a better acquaintance of local facilities, that's all. Next time, we'll see about doing it in your back garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore I'll look into going to the London event which for me is far easier to get to, and I can combine it with some shopping and if I have time an exhibition...
