I’m off to see a band that evening but would like to squeeze in a visit! Hoping to get one of the short scale things and one of the semi- hollow basses in a playable state for the bash but will be tight. 10am - 5pm ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Could we schedule a blind tone test this year? Might be fun. Just get a bunch of basses, a big sheet to hide behind and someone playing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 It might make it interesting. I'm sure we'll have ten of the top basses there. Just play them and see whether anyone can identify them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see if we can provide a definitive answer to the 'heft' debate once and for all.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Lozz is the master of this having put together the P bass and Pedal test....check with him for advice and guidance. If you go down the blind bass test you'll need micro mixers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go down the blind bass test you'll need micro mixers. I was thinking more upon the lines of a multiple choice thing...keep it easy. If we have ten basses, it's simply a case of name of applicant at the top, and a grid of 100 squares. bass #1 is <cross in corresponding box>. Basses just set with the tone open, then closed. Same amo setting. No clues. No previewing. Just unplug each one and move onto the next. No mixer required. Easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll want an inline tuner pedal or get @obbm to make you up a cable with one of his fancy shmancy silent unplugging jack sockets on. PS no Planetwaves leads or angled sockets if you want to be able to plug in the Wal...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there wasn't enough room for the "full beans" rig, which consists of 2 fieldmice running on wheels inside a cigarette packet with tone knobs painted on. That'd be vastly more powerful than the Elf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevsy71 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Botheration!!!! Sod's Law once more - after last year's Rescheduled Mother-In-Law's Birthday Party™ , this year it's Once in a Decade Visit From Far Flung Relatives™ . Gutted to miss you all again - although at least it means you won't need the Deaf Tone Test, whereby I play and you all try and get out of earshot as quickly as possible. Have a great time!

I will happily bring a pristine cable with a straight Neutrik silent jack however as we all know it may not work with some active basses.
