jhk Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I just noticed that there`s another bass players day at the portland rock bar listed for Sunday 13th April 2008.For anyone who`s interested or curious the website asks that you contact them for details.I`ts actually Hove area of Brighton. [url="http://www.portlandrockbar.co.uk"]http://www.portlandrockbar.co.uk[/url] I`m nothing to do with it other than that I live fairly close. Hope this is of interest to the forum!

jhk Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 I went to the last one.Fairly small event with some `master classes` at a nominal extra cost(about £3 quid or so as I recall).There were three of these.Very friendly atmosphere,and not intimidating.I`ve not been to any other bass bashes so have little to compare it to.Hope this helps or is there anything specific you want to ask?

Might also be doing a masterclass, not sure yet, but if any of you are going, come and say hello! Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixingwithtom Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'd like to go as I spend quite a lot of time close to there (in fact I'm abou 15mins walk away now...) but I can't make that day, hopefully they'll do it again! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I went to the one last year and it was pretty cool.. Will aim to go to this one as well if I can. Thanks for the info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 This is what they said: Bass players day is a brilliant afternoon. Dave Barnard gives bass lessons at the pub and at the end of every 10 week term we have an afternoon of entertainment. There is also a bring/buy/swop section, many interesting instruments on display, talks and music lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixingwithtom Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Off topic really, but just a quick plug... for those not going to the BassBash on 30th March, go see Richard Bona at the Jazz Cafe but if you're in the Brighton area and don't want to go into London, come see me playing with Musa Mboob and band Xam Xam at the Joogleberry Playhouse (ignore my clumsy bass playing, watch the percussion - really stunning!)

WalMan Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Will have to check this out. Bit less of a hike than this Sunday and just down the road from Mrs W's best friend so I can dump her there & not feel guilty for deserting her for another bass bash on a Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I was at the last one for a couple of hours - picked-up some good tips from some of the 'tutorial' sessions. This one sounds like it'll be bigger and better - I dropped a bass in to GB Guitars for a setup and Bernie is going to be exhibiting Unfortunately I'm booked to be elsewhere ...
