I don't think any of the cabs had tweeters, @Stub Mandrel

Did I say "noisy"? Of course, I mean loud. 😀

Yes, you played through a Monza, Rob.

At the end of the day when everybody had gone home, the cleaner arrived with a bucket and mop to clean up the mess.😀

These are the cabs from Phil's demo (next to a headless @Chienmortbb)

The big reveal! @Phil Starr always puts on an interesting demo at the SW Bash. This year, he played a short bass track through all of these cabs - hidden behind an acoustically transparent screen - asking us to figure out what they were. Like everyone else, I didn't have a clue. I knew which one I preferred and which ones I didn't, but that was as far as it went. After the reveal, it turned out we had been listening to a range of cabs containing drivers extending from 6" to 15" - and nobody twigged. Amazing! Which, to cut a long story short, goes to prove something that most of us probably knew anyway: that size doesn't matter. 😀 My personal preference, which I think quite a number agreed with, was for the 8" cab. It sounded cleaner and better balanced to me because it was the only one with any decent high frequency extension. I think Phil is toying with attending the SE Bash. If so, someone should persuade him to do something similar there.

These photos would not be complete without a view of the three LFSys cabs I took to the Bash. From left to right, the Silverstone II, Monza and Monaco. That's my Classic Vibe Precision in the front and a Trace TE1200 providing the oomph.

Nomen ist omen, as the old Romans used say. I found this amusing.

Well, waddaya know - another LFSys Monza! Partnered by a Bugera Veyron - an excellent combination. Note the tiny but pokey homemade cab in the background. @Pea Turgh's, I believe.

This is a rubbish picture of a great bass. I had the chance to play @rwillett's printed headless wonder and it sounded awesome! Who needs tonewoods?

@Sean's awesome Lany valve amp dwarfing his LFSys Monaco. I think that's @Wolverinebass's very noisy Explorer on the right.

You've seen pictures of the lovely food. Here are the lovely ladies that prepared and served it throughout the day. Thank you!

You can't beat a home made cab. There were a number of self-built cabs to be seen. Here's one.

I spotted a fair few LFSys cabs at the Bash. Here's a Monza flanked a Jazz and an Explorer
