Chownybass Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 [quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1490625551' post='3266569'] [b][u]Bash update: Zilla Cabs[/u][/b] I've just done a last round of phone calls to our event sponsors, basically to say "Thanks again for your support and see you Sunday." Anyone hoping to sample the wares of Bristol cab manufacturer Zilla (me for example) will unfortunately be disappointed! Despite agreeing to attend and multiple contacts from me by e-mail and telephone, boss-man Paul now tells me that he's not available next weekend - go figure!? [/quote] That's a shame. I was looking forward to checking them out. They look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisK1975 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Looks like I may be able to come to this one too - pretty sure my Sunday is going to be clear and I can't think of a better way to spend it. I'll add what Gear I'll bring when I confirm with 'er indoors. It's a couple of hours drive, but I think it'll be worth it..

scrumpymike Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 [b][i][u]BASH UPDATE[/u][/i][/b] OK everybody, you've got the venue details in the OP, now here's the most direct route from the motorway for those without satnav: Exit M5 at Junction 25 and follow signs for Taunton; this eventually takes you onto the Toneway dual carriageway; after crossing the major traffic-lighted junction with the A38 (landmark is brick-built Creech Castle diagonally opposite on your RHS) you'll pass the big Audi dealer (up the grassy bank on your RHS) and come to a major roundabout; town centre is left but you TURN RIGHT at the roundabout, which takes you up over the Obridge viaduct; you now drop down to another, smaller roundabout (landmark - the Obridge pub on the left-hand corner). This is where it gets a bit nadgery! Go straight over the roundabout onto the small road that runs thru Priorswood residential area (this narrow road is traffic-calmed with a series of tight bends); at the top of the hill turn left at the mini roundabout (landmark - Priorswood small shopping precinct on your RHS); keep straight on to the T-junction and turn right onto Cheddon Road - this heads out into the countryside and you're virtually home and dry now; you'll drop down the hill into Rowford hamlet, pass the school on your left - and see the entrance to the Memorial Hall facing you at the first road junction. NOTE The building shown in the pic is a private residence - for the hall, go thru the big gates and along the driveway. (The right turn at this junction takes you into Cheddon Village, which is just 100 dwellings and a nice church.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba_the_gut Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Just sorting out what stuff to bring. I'll bring a few home made basses, a Markbass Blackline 250 head and either an Eden EX110 or TC RS112. Looking forward to it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoKe Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 OK, so it looks like I will mostly be bringing the following Markbass:- Alain Caron K1 Combo Ninja 102-250 Combo EVO 1 Head Mono Multiamp TRV121h TRV151p Basses: Lakland 55-02, Squier VM Jazz 5 with J-retro, my Squier Affinity Jazz 5 Fretless project I can probably also bring my 1982 JV '57 Precision (big Fender, small Squier) if anyone particularly wants to see it, and I might be able to get hold of an early DJ5 Skyline too? Oh, and some vials! I also have a studio full of DV Mark guitar amps/cabs which I could bring a selection of, if anyone wants to see anything to do with twangy stuff?

scrumpymike Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 [i][b][u]The last (pre-bash) post[/u][/b][/i] Just a few last-minute thoughts: Could anyone who's bringing amps also if possible bring - a mains-cable extension to run from the dozen or so outlets we'll have in the middle of the hall. Could anyone who's bringing basses also if possible bring - straps; stands; and suitable monitoring equipment with cans if you plan to try basses out in the 'quiet room' (I'm putting a small mute-switchable amp/cab in there for general use but I'd be grateful if anyone else with similar kit could bring it along). I'm also told by Basschatters with previous 'bash' experience that those with acute hearing or of a nervous disposition should bring some kind of hearing protection (although event management will intervene if the decibels are too many for too long). I'll bring some of the disposable ear plugs I use on the bike just in case. See you tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
