I'm in!

15. prowla - Rics, Warwicks, Statii (whatever I chuck in the car!), Markbass EVO 1 & 1x12. Maybe a Minitaur & 12-step (if I've got 'round to figuring out the 12-step by then).

The only bad thing about the event is that it has me looking forward to Summer being over. It looks like a full weekend for me, as I plan to go to the Trafalgar event at Bisley on the Saturday.

In fact, October is a busy month guitar-wise, as there are also Northampton and Kempton guitar fairs (6th & 27th).

How about a discretionary test on the distance away from a cabinet and how that cabinet sounds at distance? See if the end results matches our hypothesis? 

(Ignore if it's a silly idea, a bit sleep deprived here)

Not silly at all. After tests Stevie rotated the Horn in the Basschat 1x12 as it gave the player more mids when standing in front of it. Maybe I will bring one along if I have a working one by then.

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.

Thats what he tells you now Mick. I can just picture the scene now. Your mates wife saying that he can only get the cheap one. He convinces himself it's better to mentally soften the blow. Then a few days later it hits him. He cracks and has to go upstairs to his bedroom and cry whilst hugging a pillow and sobbing the word "why" over and over almost indecipherably through his blubbing.

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.

Mr Devine must read these threads too..

😅😅😅 

I never knew him to put his partner before his own wants. He bought it shortly after a sizable compensation payout so I was inclined to believe him.

At the first Herts Bash the "winner" of the P test was a mid range Mark Hoppus model. That's why I'm interested in seeing how we all do in a blind test.

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.

Lee Anderton and Rob Chapman do similar blind tests - I've seen them for variously flavoured Les Pauls and Stratocasters; those who saw last years blind test will bear witness as to how long it took to run through just 15-20 different basses with me hosting and Gary noodling through Carry On Wayward Son

We could certainly set up something with Precisions (or Jazzes) - Fender/Squire/Marysiccysarious/Tokai/Aria etc. - but to ensure we had a level playing field we'd need to ensure hands were kept away from the giveaway stuff (knobs/machines/body condition), entrants limited to 60 seconds per bass (or less).

How about another thing.  Choosing 'Best In Show'?

18. Kebabkid - A Roland Bass Cube 120XL and a couple of 4 string Sires (V7 & V3) and if there's a bass shoot out, I'm happy to include one or both of these in the competition  

Ta and still on a quest for 'the right octaver' - I've had/tried Aguilar, OC-2, MXR Deluxe, Pearl, TC Sub n' Up and so I'd be interested to try anything else that will be there. Also, will there be any Helix or Kemper users in attendance with their rig? Gary (Cetera) and I have a friend who's the UK distributor for Red Sound Cabs and we might be able to get one down for trial.

Could I make a little suggestion?  If the numbers aren't so great this year, could we all just congregate in the main hall rather than the little side room and the one where me and Gary did the shoot out last year?  Might just keep it a bit more tighter?

Also on the next gear update, can someone just amend my entry...the Aguilars were sold a few months back.  Thanks muchly.

Thing is, the little room was perfect for quieter set ups, then again mine was only audible for a while until more rigs arrived. It’ll be worse this time as I’ve gone FRFR but then at least everyone gets to see it if not hear it. Ignore me, I’ve just talked myself out of my own answer, as you were.

I prefer to set up in the side room, cheers. ;)
