Linus27 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) The West End Centre in Aldershot might be a good place. I have done lots of gigs there and they have lots of rooms or areas. They also have a bar, lots of parking out the back and close to a mainline train station. If I am free I might be able to make it. I could bring my Stagg EUB along.

Stewart Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 If I'm free, I'll be there again. An occasional 'quiet period' is a good idea too, I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalMan Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 [quote name='johnnylager' post='214250' date='Jun 7 2008, 10:53 AM']Somewhere near a train station would be lush.....[/quote] Which would make last years venue good as it was right by the station - and a couple of minutes from my office carpark So count me in assuming I am about - which is more than likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilmour Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'm up for it if i'm about. How's Reading for everyone, I can probably sort out a deal at Plug'nPlay studios given enough notice. Nice big live room with a stage, also seperate rooms should needs be, and a bar [url="http://www.plugnplay.tv"]www.plugnplay.tv[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'd be happy to join the party. I'm half-way between Reading and Guildford, so either would be OK with me. What's the form then? Aside from my 12, right now I don't have anything particularly outstanding to to bring to the party...I mean, everyone knows Ashdown stuff, everyone knows Fender...

Seriously! But, back to the main thread, yeah bring it on. I'd be well up for it. FWIW I'm free 23/08 and 30/08 but not 06/09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Funny Nik, I was thinking about this whilst walking to work this morning, I'm definitely in if I'm free! As last year I will also throw in the Harlequin Theatre in Redhill as an option, couple of function rooms combined into on are easily the size of the Northants bass bash room, plus there's a bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galilee Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 What happens at these then? Do people just bring along cool stuff for other people to try in a non-judgmental way? Or is it a testosterone-filled w***-fest for people to look down on your gear and your talent? If it's the latter, count me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems we have a few suggestions in the hat for venues.. I'll try to list them all tonight and the dates people have proposed so we can makes some decisions.. Nik P.S. love the joke about guitar-fest! However, at the last Bass Bash in March there was a stray guitarist in the ranks, masquerading as a bass player... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeS Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 If it's on a Sunday I'm almost definitely in. The Harlequin sounds like a brilliant idea as well, seeing as it's only a 20-minute train journey from here. That'd save me having to drive and missing out on the bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear-foot-bass Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 A Saturday in Reading / Guildford sounds good to me. Will wach eagerly for the date. Did someone say slap-free? Sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WithoutRisk_BassPlayer Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'd be well up for this as I haven't yet been able to come along to a bass bash so it would be great! I'm in Windsor but am more than willing to drive to Guildford or anywhere in between. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Okay! What we have so far are these proposals for venues and dates: VENUES: 1. Backline Studios, Guildford - where it was held last year 2. Plug n Play Studios, Reading 3. Harlequin Theatre, Redhill DATES: 1. Sat 30 August 2. Sun 31 aug 3. Sat 06 Sep 4. Sun 07 Sep We won't find dates that suit everybody, especially with the end of August being holiday time, so as a suggestion let's also throw the following weekend into the mix as well, i.e.: 05. Sat 13 Sep 06. Sun 14 Sep People who have said they're interested so far are: 01. Silverfoxnik 02. OBBM 03. Dood 04. Bass_ferret 05. S_u_y 06. allighatOr 07. johnnylager 08. jakesbass 09. Ped 10. Hamster 11. Gamble 12. Nick Thomas 13. Zach 14. Lowdown 15. craigonbass 16. Lonestar 17. BigBeefChief 18. Wooks 19. Clauster 20. Mr_russ 21. Linus 27 22. stewart 23. Bassninja 24. Rodders 25. Molan 26. WalMan 27. Cetera 28. Stingrayfan 29. Gilmour 30. NancyJohnson 31. Coasterbass 32. Merton 33. Galillee 34. Joe S 35. bear-foot-bass 36. WithoutRisk_Bass I think that's it?? That's more than enough to make it a great day My preferred venue would be Backline or The Harlquin as it's a bit nearer for me but ultimately, anywhere suggested is OK really. I'd also chuck in Water Rats Studios in Surrey as well but they maybe a bit small? And dates wise, I'm OK for all of them.. Does anyone know how to do a Poll on this, so we can be uber-democratic and vote on it? Sorry if I've missed anyone or their suggestions out!
