I agree - last year's Bash was pretty cool.. The worst ever though was the one in Northampton some years ago when that one guy just played slap bass for about 4 hours non-stop! It was horrendous..

Nik[/quote] Cool Nick - I'm not sure I need the whole damn theatre space for this thing - maybe I can do it in the jam room as I'm not sure how many people will be wanting to check this out but either way I will need to borrow an amp/cab of some sort... is there a PA that we can use as well? I only ask as I could bring my laptop with some additional sounds and stuff on... let's work this out on a PM soon Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O have a few ideas on it so I will PM you at the weekend... it's been a very busy 2 weeks at work for me, so I have not been able to give much attention to this thread so apologies to one and all about that ! Things to sort out and update are: 1. Workshops list 2. Charities to support 3. Volunteers & tasks Thankfully, Merton's doing a fine job on the raffle which is great Cheers Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundymouse Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Count me in with my Fender Jazz and embarassingly small Laney amp. And possibly a Thunderbird Pro IV I have my eye on. And would be very interested in the double bass session if I win the competition in Bass Guitar mag this month!

paul torch Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 This sounds like a really interesting event.
