stevie Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 There will be some self-build cabs with tweeters - no problem. Quote

Chienmortbb Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Our one problem when we did the Mk2 Basschat 1x12 was that we had no commercial cabs to compare. Looks like we will be spoilt for choice! Quote
stevie Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Do we have someone who can set up the shootout? Quote
scrumpymike Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) BASH UPDATE!! CHOWNY BASS Regrettably it's not going to be possible for Stephen Chown to attend this year's bash but I'm going to see if we can find a way of displaying examples of his newer stuff such as the top-of-the-range SWB-1 (which I would very much like to try). So, it looks like our self-build 12" cab team will be sharing the stage area with the Gillett Guitars exhibit plus (hopefully) a few Chowny basses on the side. RAFFLE If you have anything that would make a decent raffle prize, please put it to one side and bring it on the day. I've got a new Maruszczyk premium-quality wide leather strap, some new Maru strings and a few other odds & sods. CALL FOR MUGS (?!) Our otherwise perfect community hall only has piddly little cups so, although we'll be bringing some from home, it will be helpful if you bring your own - or (better still) buy one of the bass-bash mugs we'll be selling at a fiver apiece. http:// http:// T-SHIRTS will only be available on a pre-ordered/pre-paid basis this year - 'no takers, no T-shirts'. So, if you want one, please order and pay your £12 before Monday 12th March to avoid disappointment. http:// (Sorry about the models but it was a low-budget event) Not long now Edited February 25, 2018 by scrumpymike 1 Quote

Rubbish personal stuff has meant I need to cut back on the time I'm away from home. Will hopefully catch you in 2019. 1 1 Quote
TheRev Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 It's looking like a gig free weekend so count me in. I'm not sure what to bring? I brought one of my double basses last year, but there wasn't much interest in the bigg'un. I've just taken delivery of a new MAS 46 cab (Mike Arnapol Soundworks 4x6) if anyone's interested in trying it out? Quote

Now the London show is out of the way I'm back on 'bash' duties. IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE PLANNING ON COMING PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP - IT WILL HELP US PLAN FOR THE EVENT Edited March 5, 2018 by scrumpymike Quote
JapanAxe Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Well it's looking like I can make this - woo-hoo! I'll be bringing everything in my signature, plus of course my easily-ignited GAS (and I'm not talking about the effects of curried eggs either...) Quote
Rich Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Mike, I've just updated the list on this post to include the bits I'll bring if I can make it (work permitting). Quote

I'm guessing a neutral-sounding amp for starters, in which case my Shuttle 6.0 will be freely available if required? Quote
BassBod Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I sense another shoot out...neutral amp contest....it never ends! More seriously, I might bring some smaller SWR's like the Studio 220 or Basic 350 (noisy fan alert!) Quote

BreadBin Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Har I have an HA3500, sometimes the fan is the loudest thing in the room! Quote
