Rich Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Damned if I’m going to miss it this year. So I’ll start the ball rolling with the gear list: 1. Rich - Spector Q4, Shuker 5-string, Genz-Benz Shuttle 9.2, Barefaced Super 12T 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kateplaysbass Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Put my name down! I might bring along a certain custom build short scale 😉 Love it, by the way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Yep - obviously going to be there. Who knows what to bring though, I guess the only new things I have is the ibanez AGB205, and the NS WAV5 bass, but I am sure we will have one of those! Well, its quite a way until october so who knows what will arrive in that time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Starr Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I'll bring the usual collection of home built speaker projects and am happy to run a shootout. I'd love to do it with a live bassist if someone wants to volunteer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, these are always v.interesting, some surprising results too. I'll have my Barefaced cab if you want to do a 2x12 comparison, although I think that was what we had in 2021. Did you do one last year? As for a live player, I'm not sure I'd want to get my feeble chops out in public... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be good to be a bit slicker so people can get a bit more out of it and another person up on stage would be really helpful. Any shootout would have to be set up really carefully to be really meaningful so this is mainly for fun and to stimulate the old brain cells. I did wonder about something different this year. Deliberately choosing different sized drivers/cabs or trying identical drivers in a range of cab sizes. Maybe forget cabs and try different amps with the same cab and make it an amp shootout.

Yeah Phil, your efforts are heroic and as well as being well appreciated are often affirming the sound and build quality from your projects and the BC and LFSys designs when pitched against the more established top end products. Any sneak preview of projects in the pipeline for this years' bash? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm up for that too. Suggest we use Stevie's LFSys Monaco, for which I am now an unashamed, totally biased advocate 😊 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
