EdwardHimself Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I didn't enjoy last years' bass day at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrenleepoole Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Bloody hell, has that come around again already? Or has there been two this year? Seems like only yesterday that we were discussing the event and everyone complaining about the potential for a noise-fest meets slap-fest! As was my experience when I went I didn't go last year, might of been the year before... it was Poogie Bell, who was ace. For me, the highlight when I went was catching Yolanda Charles outside the main stage... very talented, and one of only a few musicians there actually playing bass. I'm kinda tempted by these things, if only because I get to see and possibly hear and might even play, gear that I wouldn't otherwise get a chance to, being that I live in a gear blackhole of a town! But, the mass of ego's that parade these things is very off-putting to be honest, and I find them wearisome. Maybe I'm old fashioned, or just getting older, but seeing great bassists is, well, great..... But it doesn't beat seeing a great band, with a great bassist laying down some serious tunage where everyone is playing for the music and not for the attention of one particular instrument. I think that's why I enjoyed Poogie Bell so much over the other performances I saw when I did go that one time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 If it's the same lineup as last year I'll give it miss, it was ok but I don't need to see it again. If you listen carefully on the top landing at the dead of night you can still hear Nigel Clusterf***s slap bass echoing around the ceiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Sam Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'll give it a go, not been to one since the '80's in London but even that was a slapfest. It will be nice to check out new amps. I hope Barefaced make an appearance as I would love to hear one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Don't think I'll have the time. I'm in pre-production with an artist, auditioning for (another) band and trying to finish my solo stuff. TBH I'm not really sure this sort of thing is for me - I'm a bit grumpy at the minute and shouldn't really be around people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well - unbelievable as it might be - no, I actually have no leads on this year's show! - That said, I've been pretty damn busy these last few months and hadn't gotten as far as planning my BassDay.

Alun Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Has anyone heard any more about this year's event? Starting to get a bit tight for booking trains, hotel,etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) Went to see Stevie Willliams band on Thursday and it's "All Change". Date moved to 6th November and now at Band on The Wall. He has managed to get Marcus Miller so it has moved to accomodate his schedule. He said the web-site will be updated this week-end. Daz, might be worth changing the date on the first posting and have it moved to events.... Edited September 10, 2011 by BassBunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be too much of a schlep between RNCM and BOW. Guess it's going back to how the first Bass Days were at Life Cafe. Small and intimate....
