Good evening.

Big edit on the OP here, so please read this and treat as pinned content.

 

The honourable member for the Bracknell @prowla (aka Paul) and myself (also Paul...blame Mr McCartney) are happy to announce that the SE Bass Basheroo is provisionally set for Sunday 9th November 2025 from 11.30am.

 

The location will be St Sebastian's Memorial Hall, Crowthorne, Berkshire.  The room is decent (and there are side rooms); there's a little stage, decent parking, good connections M3/M4.  Closest rail connection is Crowthorne Station (which is on the Guildford > Reading branch line).  I'm more that happy to pick up and drop off.  Map below.

As we're a bit new to this, we'd be grateful for any input insofar as guest speakers goes and any ideas for input; I've emailed Lee Voss, Barry at The Bass Centre, Alex at Barefaced and D'Addario.  While I'm uncertain at this juncture whether he'll attend, I am in contact with the wonderful Colin Moulding of XTC to see whether he'll attend.  I'm a bit of a fanboy, so it would be superb if he could attend.

 

I'm sure @cetera and I can entertain you with another enthralling round of Name That Bass (although I'll need to work on Gary to pay something different to Carry On, Wayward Son, which is still etched on my brain to this day).  Once we're all bored senseless we can do a bit of tag-team wrestling in the car park.

 

We'll need raffle stuff, a guest or two, discussions etc.  Let this evolve.  If you know of a speaker/guest that may want to come in and do a spot, please don't hesitate to contact them.

 

In the meantime, add your name to the list.

 

Cheers

Paul

I have bought a new car, and more basses, and retired from work, all to make my attendance more possible.  It was a sacrifice that I was willing to make....

 

 

Is there a table for people selling their bass gear? Or will that be a separate thread?

If it's of interest, what I do is I click the [Quote] button of the previous commenter, select all text, copy it to the clipboard, then delete everything and paste, adding my name. It's not slick, but for something you only do once a year it's good enough.

 

If you leave it within a Quote then it's unquotable, so bear that in mind.

I’m in. Sure that we could get Barry along to tell anecdotes about his time at Wapping and Farringdon. He has lots of stories! With Lol and Guy he timed out at the last bash!

I also have a couple of non-Basschat “vouch-forable“ bass chums who might also want to come if they are free on whatever date.

I hope they aren’t guitards who “ can play a bit of bass but only with a pick”
