Playing guitars with new people while camping?

[Blanco1]

I keep thinking about taking my Acoustic Bass 4 string with me when ever we camp?

Hoping I might find people to jam with around the camp fire.

What is your experience with this plan?

California State Parks have a policy that sound should not be audible beyond the boundaries of your own site. Not guitars, not voices, not media devices.

Fine, so long as it doesn't disrupt things at my camp. Camping at the lake, we used to hear other campers playing music till 3 in the morning. That got old real quick. I play in an orchestra but don't bring my euphonium camping, too disruptive to others.

We carry my 12-string dreadnought and my wife's 6-string Spanish guitar (actually made in Spain) with us. I was the part-time musician but she plays hers a LOT more than I play mine - mostly learning new songs. The 5-string electric bass is sitting in climate controlled storage... I've never once wished I had it with me. We've crossed paths with a few couples our age who appreciated some "classics."

I think that might be cool, but not all night long....I like hearing guitar music playing quietly. Depends on the songs, though.

Probably better than hearing 20-something girls shouting "Got a Bad Habit" by Offspring (not that they were bad, but there is a lot of profanity, at least they had all the words down) at the lake last summer. We're still laughing about their show..
