tauzero Posted Monday at 19:41 Posted Monday at 19:41 I see there's some compliments on the 8" speaker - any detailed commentary on the speaker shoot out, either here or in Amps and Cabs? Quote
Richard R Posted Monday at 19:46 Posted Monday at 19:46 So here is an unashamed plug for the Midlands Bash in June. We have missed a couple of these and have moved venues, but hopefully 2026 will be the start of a long and stable run. Anyone up for catering?? 😁 1 1 1 Quote

Might bridle at that. 1 Quote

Stub Mandrel Posted Monday at 21:36 Posted Monday at 21:36 The first photo my brother sent is possibly too disturbing... The second one shows he's already channeling Duck Dunn... He's insistent that if he'd chosen as bass for himself this would be it. Everyone is knocked out by the burgundy mist finish. But he still plays like a guitarist 😁 received_1864114047862136.mp4 7 1 1 Quote

scrumpymike Posted yesterday at 10:24 Posted yesterday at 10:24 And here's the last instalment from the prolific lens of of resident Bash photographer-cum-food dispenser Janey Scrumpette. As the last shot shows, it was just about warm enough for a few hardy souls to dine 'al fresco'. As in previous years, special thanks are due to Phil Starr for his thought-provoking (and myth-busting) shoot-out, and to Stevie for bringing a selection from his truly excellent range of LFSys FRFR cabs. I've had a top-of-the-range Monaco for a few years now and wouldn't use anything else. If you're thinking about investing in any of his products, don't hesitate. You won't regret it. HALL BOOKED FOR SUNDAY 11 OCTOBER 2026!! 🙂 8 Quote

Sorry, folks 4 Quote

stevie Posted yesterday at 14:36 Posted yesterday at 14:36 (edited) Here are a few more pics of the Bash. The first one shows how busy it was. This was definitely the busiest SW Bash I've been to. Most of the familiar faces were present, with a few welcome new ones. Edited yesterday at 15:32 by stevie changed "old" to "familiar" to avoid causing offense. 2 Quote
stevie Posted yesterday at 14:39 Posted yesterday at 14:39 (edited) There was also a very full table of goodies for the raffle - including, as we've heard, an actual bass guitar. Shame I didn't win a thing. 🤑 Edited yesterday at 14:40 by stevie 1 1 Quote
stevie Posted yesterday at 14:44 Posted yesterday at 14:44 Here's Woody standing by his BC112 cab, which looks like it's done a fair few gigs. You can just see his Rickenbacker, which I heard and was very impressed by. I'd forgotten how good they were. 3 Quote

stevie Posted yesterday at 14:49 Posted yesterday at 14:49 (edited) I spotted a fair few LFSys cabs at the Bash. Here's a Monza flanked a Jazz and an Explorer Edited yesterday at 14:50 by stevie 3 Quote
stevie Posted yesterday at 14:51 Posted yesterday at 14:51 (edited) You can't beat a home made cab. There were a number of self-built cabs to be seen. Here's one. Edited yesterday at 14:51 by stevie 3 Quote
stevie Posted yesterday at 14:53 Posted yesterday at 14:53 (edited) You've seen pictures of the lovely food. Here are the lovely ladies that prepared and served it throughout the day. Thank you! Edited yesterday at 14:54 by stevie 7 Quote
