OutToPlayJazz Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Awesome place, yes. Obviously with the current financial climate as it is, the current stock isn't that exotic, but yes, it's a bass player's toy shop as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='343377' date='Dec 2 2008, 07:11 PM']I was thinking (have passed this past Dave Ryan's nose as well) of a clinic at Electro Music in Doncaster in the new year. Where we don't just show off our gear & chat, but we get to share experiences & technical knowhow with no pressure from "known" celeb players or anything. How does that sound?

Rich.[/quote] I think that's a good idea OutToPlay, and could be done in parrallel with the proposed Harrogate bash, as a different flavour convention. I'm a fan/customer of Dave & Electro, but the shop itself has hardly any room for its own gear, let alone what folk might want to bring, plus it seems to be open on both Saturdays and Sundays. And parking is non-existant!!! I visualise a large room, or set of rooms, where between 10 to 20 BC'ers will come and try out each other's gear. I have a venue in mind which suits this, hasn't got stairs, has good parking and has a bar, with sandwiches available. I am going to speak to the venue concerned, though even after haggling, there may be a hire charge. However, we can probably have a raffle or bucket to cover this. I shall report back!

JakeBrownBass Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 I agree with Born 2B Mild. Music shops tend to be really small with not much space unless there big places like PMT. 20 people in a room WITH amps and basses if going to be kinda cramped enough, let alone in a music store?
