Amazing how quickly the time flies round every year, so again last night was the first of a double header we always do with the Phil Collins tribute ‘NO JACKET REQUIRED’ at a place called TRADING BOUNDARIES in Sussex just before Christmas. Very nice venue, punters have a sit down meal then we come on afterwards and do two sets.Always sells out for us and a very receptive audience albeit generally older (like us🤣) Decided to use my Wal Mach ll that I’ve had since new, brought from Wapping years ago. She’s a boat anchor for sure but THAT SOUND!! creamy, fat, and the ‘weight’ behind every note you play, and using a wide strap I find it absolutely fine really. So, yes a great gig and a luxury to be able to leave all the back line/drums etc set up for tonight’s show,(certainly don’t leave my basses there) too. Looking forward to more of the same tonight, hopefully!! Merry Crimbo everyone and my best wishes, Jeff x

Long shot but if you find yourself down in Sussex don’t hesitate to let me know and you can borrow one of mine. Sorry to hear about things and good luck sir x

There’s a 600 in the classified for 220 quid, a steal for that price, and no I do not have anything to do with the seller. Just saying….x

Genz Benz streamliner , think there’s one in the classified. Very nice amps and you can pick them up quite reasonably nowadays . 😊

I was quite happy with one bass and amp for 25 years until I joined basschat…..🤣x

I a/b’d the lfsys cabs against my bb2 barefaced at the recent south east bass bash going through my puma 900 which I pretty much always leave set flat.They sounded clearer and more balanced to me.As much I I love the bb2, I preferred the lfsys cabs , especially taken by the little 10” bugger.obviously it wasn’t a gig situation but as Chris mentioned, too much bottom end doesn’t usually translate to a successful overall sound.They had the low end, it was just nice, tight and controlled.

Looks like a great day, well done for organising it, I’ll take the ole MC924 please, lovely machine x

Least you caught my good side stevie 🤣.Thanks again for letting us try out the cabs, very impressed when A/B’d against my barefaced I must say. So are you planning a 2x10?? Now that WOULD be a thing! best regards, jeff

That’s brilliant Colin, thank you so much for all your hard work in organising a lovely event and the donations to very worthy causes. Really enjoyed it. jeff

If you have access to a 3d printer, my young stepson made me these, stuck on with double sided tape so easily removable .Think they look better than ramps personally

Thank you so much Colin, Gary, Trevor and whoever else was involved with the organisation, it really was an amazing day and lovely to meet such nice folks. My first time but definitely not my last (I hope!!) very very impressed by stevie’s LFSys cabs when I compared them to my BB2, especially the 10’” one.Great vibe. A privilege to attend x 😊

Wish I’d taken music theory more seriously and learnt to read.I think it’s really held me back 🫤x

Bit nervous at the prospect of meeting all you much more knowledgeable people than me but really looking forward to my first bass bash. Should we wear stickers with our basschat handles for identification??🤣

Amazing little units, I tried loads of class D stuff before I got mine but nothing compares for me. Sharp, punchy and powerful. I’ve heard people describe them as ‘sterile’ but that’s where the taste control comes in. Would like to compare an Eich T900 though, out of curiosity. you won’t go far wrong with a puma., enjoy it and happy playing 😊

If they work for certain players then why not?? We are all different.😊

I’ve never been before but I’m going to try and get there, can or should I bring my basses?? There’s quite a few,🫤 Wals; 2xMKII 5 string “ 2xMKI fretted/fretless ” 1x PRO II passive “ 1xPRO I reissue smiths ;1x BLACK TIGER 5 “ 1x BT 4 “. 1xBSR 4 status; Empathy 5 musicman , Sterling 5 “. “ 4 “. “ classic 4 Stingray 4 Alembic distillate Ibanez musicians x2 GB spitfire 4 And if I can fit in all in the van my barefaced cab(s) and tecamp puma/genz shuttle/streamliner. Does anyone know if there will be any LFsys cabs there please? I like to compare them with the barefaced ones if poss. Thank you. Jeff

Would love to see an LFsys 2x10

I’m so sorry for your loss, it is so so devastating and difficult. When you can take stock of things a bit , I think maybe because you say your dear wife encouraged you and enjoyed seeing you play then take that as inspiration to go again. It sounds like it’s definitely what she would have wanted you to do and she would be so happy for you I’m sure. Sending you a virtual basschat hug my friends and all my very best wishes x

I got my young 15 year old stepson to print me some dummy pickups as I think the look better than ramps. Both stuck with double sided tape so no screw holes and on the wal I dabbed silver paint to simulate the screw heads. Really pleased with them as I can now rest my thumb in the‘magic spot’ …..for me anyway. X

Played the 100 club last night with the Martin Abrahams band, Tuesday blues thingy, we played pretty good,nice to to able to hear my bvs clearly for a change. Took my old smithy BT4 with my MC 924 as spare in case. Nice that for once I didn’t have to drive either and also glad I didn’t book any work in for today! Looking forward to a bit of a lay in , int morning 😊x

What a band! Go on was my favourite album for years, played it to death 🤣x
