Owen Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 The North West Wales Massive are bowing out. We love bass, but not enough to be stuck in snow or getting intimate with a wall. Of course, the weather will be fine, but we would look silly if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Sam Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Highlight of the day was Mottlefeeder playing a Kala u bass clone through a pedal board and an Ampeg fridge. Lemmy would have been gobsmacked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Some lovely pics there Alan A very enjoyable afternoon spent in great company, it was brilliant both catching up and meeting some new faces. Some lovely kit to see and play with and very clever design and build amplification set up from mottlefeeder . Some great A/B sound testing and some head scratching with regards working out which controls did what there were some lovely tones from a collection of rig/ bass combinations and then of course Tommo's rig Now that takes some dedication to lug around and we missed the photo op of Vinnies scene stealer through the fridge it was a shame we lost Owen and Redd to the weather , though the small but quality and friendly crew who were there made for a few marvellous hours of bassery. Hopefully some more photos to follow later from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruarl Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 To echo what the others have already said, I had a great time. It was great to meet a bunch of bass players with all sorts of backgrounds and interests, and play some really lovely and diverse gear. Thanks all for a great time. See you next year! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkgod Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) A nice day indeed, Thanks to everyone who braved the bad weather conditions on saying that the weather was prity good here on the wirral, it was all clear by 1pm, nothing like up by owen. Everyone brought really nice basses and amps to try and were only to glad to let you try anything you wanted and go through the various set ups with you. Nice pics with tasty bass porn already posted by Alan, cheers Alan mine were about the same so i will just add a few, Great big thanks to Andy "Ruarl" who spent time to bring and show me how that synth pedal worked im still scratching my head andy and your SEI bass is stunning, that thing really sings, thanks. Kev where is that pic of you with your bass, its on your phone... common lets av it... cheers for all your work kev. There was another guy that turned up, Alan who was not a member yet but came because he read about the bash on the forum, He had 3 very nice basses and a stunning sounding jazz, nice talking to you Alan, now sign up, say hello and get a pic of that jazz up here :-) Thanks all i really enjoyed everyone's company, chips buttys and tea were a very welcome aid to my hang over. Nick with wal no matter how hard i tried vinny i could not get a note out of that jazz :-) Alan making pino sound like a beginner, tom with his fridge which helped keep the whole room nice and warm, and that stunning jazz Here is an amazing thing, ... Dave makes these stunning bass amps that you can use for busking, you can do a 3 hour gig with this, and here is the amazing thing... the battery is inside it ! ! yep, inside that ! ! dave you should do a thread on showing us how this is done as im sure this would be of interest to alot of people on here.

Firstly, can I say that I too really enjoyed the day, and add my thanks to those who organised it. That amp has an HPF, and an LPF and no other EQ. The power stage is a 10W @ 8ohms or 20W @ 4ohms class D stereo amp available on ebay. With the internal 12V 2AHr battery (common in burglar alarms) and one cab, it will run all night at an acoustic open mic night, and with a 7AHr(scooter battery), it will run with two speakers for several hours, in a band with mic'd acoustic guitars and vocals and one or two conga players. I'm happy to share - but first I need to find a replacement for Photobucket - Am I right in thinking I can link to pictures in Dropbox?
