TRBboy Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 This sounds cool! Will see if I'm free, but fingers crossed! I went to one very small bass doo in Birmingham about 8-10 years ago, but that's the only one I've been to. Just getting back to BC after a lengthy hiatus. 🙏 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Dang it! I haven't been to a bass bash since the demise of the Moffat bashes and was thinking of hatching a plan to come down. Unfortunately, I checked the calendar and I've got a gig the night before. ./~ I drove all night ./~ - eh, no, Aberdeen > Taunton after playing a gig, would probably fall asleep at the wheel. Have a good one, folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
