Exciting news, just received the MARK BASS donation, courtesy of Proel UK and Bass Gear Ltd ( your local Mark Bass Stockist).

It's a Markbass Super Booster, shop price around £110

[attachment=75722:tn1_24891.jpg]

The VLE ( Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) filters out high frequencies to give you a mellower, less modern sound.

The VPF ( Variable Pre-shape filters ) boosts lows and highs , and cuts mids giving you a powerfull rock sound.

Boost gives you just that..

-Markbass filters

-Booster

-XLR DI output

-True Bypass

[quote name='jonny-lad' post='1175925' date='Mar 25 2011, 02:02 PM']I should be able to make it!...I've been a bit out of the loop on the forum recently (I don't post much anyway!) so the bass bash slipped my mind!

Had right good time last year though, so I'll look forward to it! :)[/quote]

Glad you could come along, I wondered if you might given who is our Speaker!

Any other donations from attendees would be welcome, like that battered old Fender you never play and is stored "under the bed"? All helps raise ££ for musical charitees.

P.S. Anyone who wins one of the Raffle Prizes from Hartke, Mark Bass or Dunlop Strings should agree to having their photo taken for publicity purposes. This helps boost the profile of the Bash and so keeps the Sponsors sweet!

Haha- yeah, it's been ages since I've seen Scott! I'd all but forgotten about the bass bash until Phil mentioned it at a rehearsal on thursday after seeing me in the background of a photo on Scott's website!!

Looking forward to it!

...and home. Enjoyed it; always nice to meet up and chew the bassy fat. Thanks to Alan (ACG), Shaun and David L Perry for being such excellent company. I laughed til I hurt. "Dry eyeballs"? Not when you're crying with laughter. Thanks to everyone who organised, donated prizes etc. Much appreciated.

[url="http://gallery.me.com/ianhalstead#100060&view=grid&bgcolor=black&sel=0"]A few quick photos.[/url]

Highlights for me were:
WoTs Genz Benz Streamliner. Massive tone and it coupled really well with my Barefaced Super Twelve. Damn, damn, damn..... It also sounded superb with the Jazz/Precision and Bergantino HS 210 cab that WoT had there.
The sound of Keiths upright bass - lusciously warm but with great definition.
Scott Devine demo'd some useful tips on progressing your playing, ably helped by... :) :) <fatal memory pointer error - see Mrs Snicks as she knows and remembers everything>

If anyone in the photos on the link above wants to write their own captions just PM me and I'll bung 'em in. Note that the shot I had lined up with Keith's head just under the 'hat' of Manhattan didn't work. Someone moved just before I took it didn't they? :lol: :D

Thanks Ian

The chap ably assisting Scott was geoffbassist (Chalmers). Re the shot of my head, that was my Damon Albarn impersonation (I can wait for the applause...)!
Thanks to all who came along and sorry to all who missed out :P
I'll do a seperate post re the t shirts once I've had a lie down!
