Making a Scene: Exchange x Punka

DIY workshops, jams and showcases for marginalised voices. Built for and by the people usually left off the bill! 

Join us in Making a Scene for an Instrument Maintenance Workshop with Ashe. Super important workshop for guitarists and bassists

Required - Electric or bass guitar & pack of fresh strings (I recommend either Ernie Ball or D'addarios)

Optional - Allen keys the guitar came with & Tuner.

This workshop is all about taking comprehensive care of your electric or bass guitar. We'll be going through fret/fretboard care, restringing, and a typical "set-up"; tweaking the intonation, action, etc.

Music should be a pleasure to make, but many second-hand, entry-level, and unmaintained guitars make playing music incredibly inaccessible; who wants to play an instrument that's working against you? Your musical instrument should be an able and willing partner in the music you make, and it's our goal to give you the tools to keep your partner in the best shape you can!

From her beginnings as a bedroom musician playing a painfully withered Epiphone Explorer bass guitar, Ashe has come up through the Bristol music scene with a love for music that is reflected in the meticulously maintained guitars and basses she's helped to re-string, refurbish, and rejuvenate for her friends and fellow musicians. Ashe's background in engineering along with her experience as a music teacher should see you finish this workshop with even a cheap charity shop guitar feeling as smooth as silk in your hands, and the know-how to keep it that way!

1-3PM
