That's the best thing about the Bash - there's plenty of people ready to lead us astray 😉

Trying to talk Bumnote into coming to this with me. Interested in the 12 cab shootout. As long as he doesn't want to come in his

go kart, will try and bring something old !

Turning up and paying a tenner is the usual method.

Are you bringing your F112? If so can we use it in the cabinet shootout?

As Frank B has already posted, just turn up between the hours of 10am and 4pm, pay your £10 on the door (covers food and drink) and claim some table-top/floor space if you have anything to display (subject to availability).  This is how things looked last year (last shot shows the self-build 12" cab session in progress in the adjacent meeting room used as a quiet(ish) controlled environment):

Phew, I just typed that without checking, good job I was right (fluke).

Just turn up, shell out a tenner (a bargain!) and you'll be made most welcome!  The food will be bloody great too!  Make sure you bring your new Ray!  I'll be bringing a bunch of markbass stuff!

We are hoping to do an updated cab shootout again. The Basschat 1x12 has evolved and again we would like to compare it to the older iterations and some of the other cabs on the market. Anyone with a commercial or boutique 1x12 tweeter? More details as we make them up.

My bud @Witters has an Eden 1x12, I've asked him if he fancies bringing it along. I've also got an SWR Bass Monitor 12 which I could throw in the boot.

Right. Things I'll be bringing for people to have a play.

• Chowny NT4 bass
• Chowny NT5 bass
• Chowny CHB-1 bass
• Retrovibe Volante bass
• Retrovibe Vantage bass
• Retrovibe EVO bass
• Chowny SWB-1 bass
• Chowny SWB-1 fretless bass
• All three of my current pedals (Fuzzster, Pitchcraft, Bassmosphere)

I've got a bunch of Bassmosphere Chorus/Reverb Stock so will be discounting these if you want one on the day. I've also got some CHB stock from 2018 that have been tinkered with and will makes these available super cheap if anybody is looking for a semi-hollow. Maybe a few other bargains. Don't worry though .. I won't get salesy! You can come over and have a play regardless. ..... I'll have my credit card machine though 😜

Unfortunately I've got no SWB Pro stock at the moment. If somebody attending owns one it'd be great if you dragged it along.

Really wanting to try out the SWB-1 fretless.

Thoroughly recommended. I had one for a while just to see how I got on with a fretless.  The bass was fantastic but I wasn't ☹️

[Chownybass]

Just had a chat with Tony Butler (of Big Country fame) and he will be joining me at the bass bash to hang out and chat and geek out about gear. Sure he’d be happy to sign stuff etc. 

[Rich]

Oh my god. I remember seeing BC back in the day before they hit it big. There were about 20 of us at the gig I was at, but they still rocked the place like it was sold out. I just know I'm going to go all fan-struck and end up gibbering like an idiot.

[GrahamT]

NS Designs CR5 Radius

Spector Spectorcore 5 fretted

Squier VM P-bass 5 string (for sale)

Genz Benz Streamliner 600 amp

I seem to remember that little cab sounding particularly good last year.

[Andyjr1515]

A number of things I was going to bring are off to a guy who's going to do some pro-recordings with them (he's a great player - I'll post the links when they are available) so I'll probably be bringing, instead of the items on the list:

- Pete's piccolo bass

- Pete's EB-3 ish

- My veneered Squier Jag

 

[yorks5stringer]

I've got around 10 years of Bass Guitar Magazines if anyone wants them? Let me know beforehand pls cos I'm not bringing them all on the off-chance!
