Richard R Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Aw shucks! Thanks guys! The works bash has moved to Friday, with optional stay over on Manchester that night. Which would work very well, except that I am now working away most of the week beforehand, so another day away probably would not go down well.

zbd1960 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I may be able to make this as it's about 50 miles away - it might clash with another commitment, need to check. If I can attend, I'll bring the ACG and Manton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterjam Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I have a spare Comfort Strapp (Extra Long, 42"-54", adjusts both ends) lying about here. The holes have been opened out on order to accommodate Dunlop Strap Lock pins. It's free to a good home - I'll bring it with me on the 18th. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Rock Dawn Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 On 12/12/2023 at 11:55, rwillett said: Dear all, Putting this in and hoping the mods will pin it. Looking to get people together for a NW (and Scottish) bass bash in Clapham, North Yorkshire sometime in May 2024, probably Sat May 11th. 18th (note that this has changed) A number of people live a little north of London and even stuff in the Midlands is a pretty big schlep, so I thought we could get together for a day to playing bass somewhere closer for us. The Clapham in question here, is NOT the one in South London, it doesn't have eye watering house prices, you can't go cottaging on the Common, you also can't buy Tofu in the local shop (actually you can but that's no fun). This Clapham is in North Yorkhire on the borders of Lancashire, Cumbria and North Yorkshire. See here for more details https://claphamyorkshire.co.uk/ The village hall is community run and we can get it for a day in May, provissionally booked for Sat May 18th 2024 (please note, changed from 11th). It has 1Gb internet access so you aren't out of touch even for a day. https://claphamyorkshire.co.uk/locals/clapham-village-hall/ <<- This is the right one Clapham is 22 mins off the M6, 35 mins from Skipton, 45 mins from Lancaster and 40 mins from Kendal. It does have a train station and if anybody would like to come by train, we can arrange a free pickup. There is no taxi service there so don't even think about it. My company will <ahem> sponsor the day so there is no cost to people. I'll see if I can persuade my kids to do teas and coffees. There is a decent kitchen, but also we do have two excellent pizza joints nearby. My daughter works in one and so we may be able to get a deal, I am happy to organise and sort things out, however I have never organised a bass bash so if people have ideas of what they want to see, do and have, speak out. If you assume anything, it will not happen, so speak out. I'll check on what days in May are available. The committee is putting this all online so it's not live yet. I'll speak to them and get some dates. I'll happily bring my kit along for people to use, I'm not precious about it. So there will be an Fender Jazz bass, a Fender Mustang bass, an Ibanez Mikiro bass, a couple of six string electric, including my 3d printed electric. I *may* have completed a 3d printed bass by then as well, a small Ampeg 30W practise amp and quite a few extension cables. I can also bring a few laptops and ipads as well. The wifi is free. Can I get some expressions of interest please and also some thoughts on what to do on the day. Thanks Rob People who have expressed an interest (understand that this is not a commitment) @rwillett - Yes @Desbass @vsmith1 @ossyrocks - Yes @neepheid - Yes @ead- Yes @Frank Blank - Yes @sifi2112 - Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
