Another great SW Bass Bash! Wonderful way to spend a sunday. Highlights for me were @fiatcoupe432's fretless Pedulla (what a bass) & the silver grey thing with the piccolo strings (mad), @sprocketflup's NS upright & his SEI fretless, @stewblack's short scale Reverend Dubking(?), @stevie's new LFSys cabs (look utterly superb, top professional build quality & a sound to match), @yorks5stringer's Nordstrand Acinonyx (what an array of sounds from the one bass), @Woodinblack's Shuker (thing of beauty), @Phil Starr's 6" cab build (ridiculously amazing sound from the tiniest of boxes), @Jabba_the_gut's super micro builds (very short 5er with side leds was ace), the always scrumptious scran & catching up with all you guys & gals again. Well done to Scrumpy Mike, Mrs Scrumpy & the Scrumpalettes catering team, Graham on the door & raffle, for organising it all & thanks to all the basschatters who came from near & far (getting further every year). Brilliant.

Covid booster jab tomorrow but will do a LFT before the Bash & will only come if its a negative & I am symptom free. fingers crossed for the buffet, oh & the basses dont forget the basses 😉

I'm thinking of same, 1 for rehearsals & 2 for small gigs. Big gigs already covered by Trace v4 & Barefaced vintage 2x15! Quite fancy getting a small valve amp, something Ampeg or "little bastard" from Ashdown?

Thinking of having a go at a couple of the 10" cabs as a new year project. Has anybody tried them with a small valve amp? & if so how did they perform & did it sound ace? Going to use them for rehearsals & small gigs. churrs, Norm.

Yarp, lets do it! Bestest sunday fun with yer clothes on!

Mace of Bass.

Pays yer money & turn up, just like the rest of us! 😉

& if that doesn't work, its just Captain Birdseye pressganging for his fishing smack! Got to diversify for the gig economy 🤩
