    It was well over a decade again. The bass bash started in 2003.

  4. Hey folks – I’m the latest host and organizer of the Bass Bash. JT Schmid’s was a great place and we will miss it! We just outgrew the venue after 12 years. M3 Live is a much larger and can accommodate the size of the crowd we have been getting. Hope to see you there :)
