Woodinblack Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Whatever he wants to do - PAs is the only one of those he hasn't covered yet. Or maybe PA system comparisons, thats not something that its easy to get normally 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Self build would be my vote too. But whatever Phil choses to do will always be very interesting and gratefully recieved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I'm easy with either option! Have we ever considered setting aside an hour for an 'open mike' style session? Do wd have a drummist/guitarist...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) Well I'm obviously going to be there. I'll bring along a collection of the Basschat home built speakers and I'll provide a PA for the main hall. I'll try and run something entertaining after lunch as I've done for a few years now. As Mike has already said that could be: Another bass cab shoot out. A quick comparative look at PA systems A live cab build of the new Basschat design Bass cab shoot out. I have four identical PA channels so can run a fair blind test with four cabs hidden behind a screen. Can you tell the difference? In the past we've run this with 12" speakers but I could do it with any combination of cabs, It might be interesting to throw an Ampeg into the mix and run it against a modern FRFR cab. PA Systems We've had a lot of discussion about the pros and cons of using smaller PA speakers with Subs v's bigger PA speakers without subs v's modern stick systems like the RCF Evox. A group of us in the West Country have discussed getting them all together in a room and trying them out. We could share that with everyone. Live Cab Build Six years ago I built a cab at the bass bash in 47 minutes. There's a video up on You Tube I've just put up a new design on Basschat for an 8" speaker and I'd be happy to have another go, probably in the side room. It would be nice to re shoot the video and put in some close ups to make it all clearer. I'm happy to run any of these but it does take a bit of time to prepare and I can only really run one. We did bass amps at the last Bash so I'm keen to do something different this time. Edited August 12 by Phil Starr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Thanks for that Phil. I - and no doubt others - will have a think and post our thoughts on here. My initial one is to go for the 8" cab build as the video will make it useful beyond Bash day. Although I'm strangely intrigued by the PA option. For me, that's always been the 'elephant' on stage 😐 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 We've swaped thoughts on PA before Mike and you were one of the West Country people I was thinking of. Maybe we could play with PA speakers in the side room during the day and perhaps do something more organised next year. Let's see what people want once we have a few more comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyc Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Sign me up! I will bring: A very nice double bass (well, I think so anyway) An Ashbory Bass GSS 06B400MKD combo Anyone who lives between Oxford and the venue who needs a lift and is willing to pay a little towards petrol. I went to last year's SE Bass Bash and brought the following, but they didn't seem to garner much interest. If you want me to bring them, let me know: Warwick Streamer fretless Sandberg Custom 5 with Delano XTender Sandberg TT Marcus Miller rip-off BC 110T cabinet BC 112mk3 cabinet Acoustic Image Coda 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I'd love to see your BC 112mk3 cab. It's the only one of the BC designs I don't have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Maybe I should bring my BC112 cab too, so we can play that 'what is that loud clonk noise in it when I move it round' game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I could take some time and work it out - I mean there is nothing in it I didn't bolt there in the first place, so it is either the speaker (which it doesn't seem to be) or the electronic board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamIAm Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 If you do the bass cab shoot out I'd be happy to bring my PJB C4, I wonder if folks can distinguish it from larger cones. Sam x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRBboy Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Hey folks, still hoping I can get to this but will have to confirm 100% nearer the time. If I do, I will bring: •Frost Custom Basses PJ5 (my first build from scratch) •Sandberg California TT5 Passive •Possibly my customised Yamaha BBN5 •Markbass Stu Amp 1000w •GR Bass GR 410+ (1200w, 4 ohm) •A fairly unexciting pedal board 😅 May also bring my converted Trace 1x15" cab, if it's in a satisfactory state by then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Oh, and I concur; 8" cab build would be super cool! 😎 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chienmortbb Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) Not sure what I will be bringing. My Fender Aerodyne is not in use at the moment.

So from: Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass (P/J) Sire Marcus Miller M2 Bugera Veyron the MOSFET one. Ashdown Retroglide 800 LFSys Monza A.N.Other bass TBC After 8 Combo on steroids.
