Anyone that wins one of these excellent prizes will have something worth more than the weekend ticket.

Thanks.

I assumed no such thing. I just said I don't like show off bass players.



Again, same thing. Where did I say he can't groove? I just don't like show off....... oh forget it! You're right I'm wrong. There, happy? Sorry all for having an opinion that isn't the same as yours.

Was not directed at you more a general comment on the subject which I have heard many times.
But I guess bass shows are not for you then.

I always assumed they where more than capable of both wither I had seen it or not. When you have that kind of facility on a bass I am sure the ability to play what is regarded as normal bass I am sure they can all manage. However getting a profile does require a degree of showing of which is fine with me. If I could play like Billy I am sure I would.

If you have not seen Jah Wobble you are in for a treat.

I have never understood bass players that assume because someone has great technique and can play at a million miles an hour that they also can't groove or play in the context of a song and support the song just makes no sense to me.

Hipshot goodies on their way for the prize draw.

Still a few tickets for the weekend avilable.

Any news on wither your mate is coming along.

Another excellent company on board for the bash. Happy to announce that Aguilar will be send me the following kit to demo at the show. TH500 head with two SL112 cabs and a pedal board. This is curtesy of Barnes and Mullins UK distributor. Might be some goodies to give away as well.

Hope to have this pedal at the Moffat Bass Bash just waiting for confirmation from Westside Distribution.

Very much of the opinion that you use it of lose it. It is the only bass specific show in the UK it deserves to be supported even if there are a couple of perceived problems. The noise is what it is. Every music event of this type I have ever been to has been noisy it is the nature of the beast. The last guitar show I went to was wall to wall shred which I assume to be the guitar equivalent of slap. Not been to a drum show so I can only imagine they are not exactly quiet. Lots of interesting gear going to be there. Personally I have seen enough Fender basses to last this and the next life time. I have no idea why some big names are not there maybe negative posting about the event has something to do with it maybe,maybe not.

Bass Guitar Magazine has kindly agreed to support the event with some merchandise for the prize draw.

It is indeed.
Are you going to make it to the Bash this year a good year to come down with Steve Lawson and stuff to give away.

Do you know why EAD ceased production?

I do, but maybe better if Dave answered that. I mentioned the thread to him.

Rain Tree Crow one of my all time favourite albums so that comparison I would be more than happy with.
The songs where recorded around 1987/88 so a few years before the RTC album.

No I am afraid not but if you want them I can burn a CD of the various bits and pieces for the Bass Bash.

The instrumentals are all written recorded and played by me. Which accounts for the quality of the playing.
The songs with lyrics where written by myself and James Wheatcroft. I played bass, keyboards, clarinet,guitar and programmed the drums. James played guitar sang and wrote the lyrics.
Recorded and engineered and mixed by me all a long time ago.

I used them to avoid any copy write issues on You Tube.
I would be very surprised if anyone had heard any of them.

They are indeed top quality the best construction I have seen on any cab and the custom crossover really makes a huge difference to the range of sounds capable from the attenuators. And as you say hard to see the handles coming of. I will not be parting with mine.

For those up in the central belt Moffat is 2 mins of the motorway a doddle to get to.

Excellent very welcome and feel free to tell any bass playing types about it as well.

Bump to see if I can get a few more interested.

Will you have the new travel bass? I saw it on No Treble and it looks very interesting :-)

Assuming I don't sell the stock one before the show I will have it along with me.

I should have quite a few to choose from with a couple of new models and a new range being launched at the show. My stand is also next to a couple of your fellow countrymen.

I will be there along with John East.

And nice guy as well.
I had expected more interest from my part of the world in the Bash this year but unless it arrives fairly soon we are currently down on numbers from last year.
