Henrythe8 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 https://www.bassoasis.com/ Anyone planning on attending ? I'll be there as a long time dedicated fan of Stu. Plus it's been sooo long I haven't gotten involved in a BassCamp. Pretty sure it's going to be fun being a Metalhead in a Jazz/Rock venue 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I'd love to. Unfortunately ££££ says no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrythe8 Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Up for this year's edition. 🙂 I attended last year's and it was A BLAST. Really enjoyed it. Hours of bass playing and especially for me a lifelong dream as I played on stage with Stu - and the mighty Mattias Eklundh. I encourage you to come this year, the other "big names" being Mohini Dey and Alex Skolnick. It's a week full of fun and bass. jams in some local bars are also a great way to play and enjoy yourself. We were about 7 or 8 attending last year making this experience a truly "insider" experience with the professionals. Plus Estonia is really cool. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I'll make a proper thread on this tomorrow but Stu has recently announced he's nearly finished his new album, check the link for info. I've put in for a signed CD. The Estonian Bass Oasis event last year looked absolutely great, I'd love to go but work commitments keep me here. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/stu-hamm-new-release-hold-fast-campaign#/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrythe8 Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 I guess the Oasis will be the opportunity to see the live version of the album as Alex Skolnick will be there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Sounds like fun but I can't afford things this nice. Can vouch for Estonia, though. Well, Tallinn at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer.b Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Wow , looks good value , with the cheaper accommodation it's £650 for 5 days board ,food , and tuition! Unfortunately I'm busy gigging that week otherwise I'd be all over this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrythe8 Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 the main issue is that Estonia is a long way and makes it expensive to go there, although the price for the Bass Oasis itself is quite low, with 5 days accommodation and meals... Plus playing on stage with some big names and learning A LOT of stuff 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrythe8 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 (edited) I registered for this year's edition again, and I can't recommend enough the trip if you can. Last year with Craig Blundell and Alex Skolnick and Mohini Dey was exceptionnal. This year, drums duty will be in the hands of Dennis Chambers, so it's a great opportunity to improve your groove.

Angel Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I remember buying his album Radio free albemuth (was that the name?) on vinyl when it came out. I ADORED the active tone from his Kubicki bass. Also, ‘Country music’ was one of those tracks that just blew your mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a short clip of Craig, ALex and me playing Crazy Train. The singer is the organizer of the Bass Oasis. We had some serious fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance to play with Dennis Chambers is worth the asking alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting place. Also, the Russian border is only a 40 minute drive away from the venue for the event, which could be interesting in the current climate...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only hope that it will remain so in the long-term. I'm not normally interested in these type of events, but this looks pretty good for the money and in the town looks great. We have already booked a couple of trips this year, but we really liked Estonia and have thought about going back - I reckon I could even sell this to the missus...! Who knows, maybe next year...
