Davetbass Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I didn't want to be the first to suggest having a couple but It's a good idea I'm hatching a plan folks see what you think.... We could hire Henrys Cellar bar for about £200. That would give us a full p.a. and exclusivity for the night. I could get the drummer and singer/guitarist from my 3 piece to come along.Before we book anything I could post a set list of all our covers for you guys to learn what you fancy doing then just get up and do it. It's a bit bassyoke but it would be a laugh and give the night a bit of structure. Could also have requests that I'd get the guys to learn in advance if there's nothing there you fancy. The guitarist can literally sing and play anything and the drummer is pro and plays off the dots if need be. Just an idea... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmettC Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm in for that. Should we bring some amps and basses for others to try out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetbass Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 No limit's bud. We can swap out bass gear to our hearts content. I'm happy to leave my ABM Ashdown rig up there for the night if people just want to travel light and have a good time. Doesn't have to be us all hammering away at covers either, just gives it all a bit of structure and everyone can have a go regardless of ability. Let's face it- there's are basslines I could teach my granny to play (if she was alive) Oh and ego's must be checked in at the front door They can be collected after...
