NickD Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Lol. Father's Day was ideal for me... 'It's your day Daddy, you can do whatever you want'... Right, help me load the car, see you all later, call a curry for 7pm'. As long as there are no family obligations I'll make every effort to attend any other date, these things are great!

Grangur Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) [quote name='Carl G' timestamp='1493656604' post='3289776'] Being a newbie to Basschat and all things bass-wise; what happens at a Bass Bash? [/quote] Folk take along their basses and rigs for others to try out, and everyone has the opportunity to try out a sorts of gear that you won't find in the local mucic shops. You also get to meet other BCers for a chat and put faces to names. Edited May 1, 2017 by Grangur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkyMunky Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 This'll be an easy one for me and one I can't miss due to circumstances like before. I'm down for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl G Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks for the info - that sounds really good. I don't have much in the way of gear as i am just starting off taking it seriously but it would be cool to meet up with more experienced bassists for a chat and advice.

Andyjr1515 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'm devastated, Mick, but can't make it, I'm afraid. Like NickD, though, would be very pleased if you accept my entry fee and diesel money anyway. FOLKS - if it is ANYTHING like last year's bash, it is such a well run and hugely rewarding experience..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Unfortunately it looks like there are insufficient numbers to justify putting on this years event - I had overlooked the initial date coinciding with Fathers Day which clearly affected the number of those who were able to attend. I have, reluctantly, been to the venue today and cancelled this years Bash. At the same time I donated the de-fretted Spector donated by[b] Spectoremg [/b]and the Hohner Beatle Bass donated by [b]Thunderbird[/b] to the Club for their rehearsal room/studio. At least these have found a good home. I'm sorry if this disappoints those who have attended in the past and were looking forward to attending another. From mine and Chris' point of view we have missed this opportunity to raise much needed funds for what was our local youth club when we were growing up. I must thanks those who had agreed to provide support in the form of photographers, seminar facilitators, canteen staff, etc and hope that we can rely on your support if we put on similar events in the future.

gary mac Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 What a shame, after all your efforts. All the best to Chris and you Mick. Let's look forward to a bigger and even better bash next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
