NancyJohnson 1,074 Posted April 4 Updated attendance list below. Just as an aside, so as to take up a bit of the day, would anyone like to see another bass shoot-off? I suspect Gary and I will be a little smoother than last year; maybe utilising a wireless might make things quicker in the changeover. I know we had a huge variety of basses last year, maybe if we rein that number in to ten we could just do Precision Basses or something? Paul Attendance & Gear List: 01.

rodfunnell 14 Posted April 9 I think it was planned for at least the last bash but is there any scope/interest in having full band environment to hear different basses or rigs in a real life scenario? One of my biggest challenges in finding a rig is what works on its own doesn’t always translate to a band environment. I also appreciate its very much subjective and dependant on much more than equipment but a real-life test environment might be a bit of fun and helpful for others? What do you think?

I'm up for this idea @rodfunnell Will have a chat with others involved to see what's possible /doable.. But any ideas or suggestions here would be great too.

TheGreek 2,844 Posted April 10 In regards to another bass shoot out....I'd like to see a blind folded seminar where attendees get to play a number of basses of varying value to see if they can distinguish between low end/mid-rage/high end basses. After my recent adventure collecting a £200 Yamaha for another BCer I'm pretty sure that most won't be able to. A friend of mine bought a guitar on this basis - expensive Gibson LP -v- budget copy - he claims that he actually preferred the cheaper model which is why he bought that instead of the Gibson. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
