Just packed the car ready for an early start. I'm only bringing nine speakers this year. 

Are you bringing a BC112 by any chance? 

If you are, I'll leave mine at home 😉

I think I may have to miss this one for economic reasons. Huge thanks to @Richard R and @Mottlefeeder for their kind offers of assistance. If, as I hope, my economic and employment ducks are more aligned, I will make it to the November meet in Crowthorne

I am bringing just the 4 basses and a few other things, but that is probably just as well as MrsSabbyInBlack will need the space to get a couple of days of food in the car!

Is yours the one with the tweeter? I'll have the original Mk1

My gear. Everyone who played the V-bass enjoyed it, so worth bringing.

The second iteration of the Roland V-Bass system, plugged into @derreybass's beautiful handmade bass.

@Phil Starr's cab shootout. 8" speakers rule. (IMHO)

I tried this bass, and I think it is the best balanced bass I've ever played - no neck dive at all, and it combines a solid feel without being too heavy.

We're back home safely. Huge thanks to @scrumpymike and team for putting on a fantastic event! Everyone was very friendly, the lunchtime buffet was top notch, Phil put on an interesting blind-listening speaker demo, and there were some great raffle prizes too.

I quite agree. Sounded great, good sustain, loads of places to rest your thumb too! I can see a headless bass in my future.

There were some other league raffle prizes indeed - not often you can get a bass in a raffle!

 

So many interesting things there, as I said surveying the scene at lunchtime, I doubt there is a shop in the UK you could go in and see the same range of basses as at the bass bash!

 

Great to meet everyone new and old, it was another fine bash and this one just a little bit busier than the last few, so we had to get more tables :)

Oh, and thanks @scrumpymike for organising as usual. And a very big thanks to the scrumpettes for the food!

 

It was really nice catching up with people. 

 

@Sean, I think I preferred your ebony boarded Spector! Both lovely basses though. 

 

I forget the username, but the MTD I tried was also great. I'd happily have one of those! If you see this, what model was it?
