Any European bassists out there? I'm based in Dublin (Ireland) - would there be any interest in meeting up over here?

I've organized a GTG last year at Ritter Basses. Maybe we'll have one next year.

vindy: I was trying to point out that we can met in the place where they put on the "namm EU show" (lets call it this way) ... I think it's quite in the middle Germany .. (so in the middle of EU) 
If you're considering it, keep Dublin in mind - loads of venues, and I'm sure one of the stores like Musicmaker might be able to facilitate you for workshops etc.
You'll also get a chance to experience the Irish "sessiún" - where musicians are given sections of the pubs just to jam (although it's usually Irish trad music played, I'm sure they can facilitate variations on the theme!!) - musicians usually get paid by the pint, and usually aren't up on a stage as such but tucked round a "musicians only" part of the bar!
(just thinking how an Irish pub would react to 30 bass players turning up for a sessiún!!)
(Edit: Incidentally - "sessiún" is the Irish/Gaelic for "session" in case you haven't gathered, and as it's held in a pub, it has lead to a very Irish expression "I've such a hangover - I was on a session last night!" - not limited to musicians alone)
