Matt @neepheid demoing one of the many fine basses he brought with him. Not quite sure what this one is, but I'm sure somebody knows.

This should be a caption competition photo. Gary @cetera saying something to Chris Childs (or vice versa).

I couldn't not include a photo of some LFSys cabs, could I? Pleasingly, there were quite a few present. My thanks to the owners for bringing them along.

 

I managed to try a few different amps through the cabs. Sean's Gallien-Krueger sounded nice, lean and punchy. I was also very impressed with the Handbox head that @wateroftyne has been praising all these years. Never heard one before, but is sounded really sweet.

This was another great Bass Bash. So, thanks to the organisers for their hard work and efforts. The venue was much better than I was expecting. With two decent-sized rooms and a stage, it was possible to make some noise without annoying everyone too much. There were plenty of familiar faces  - some of whom also attended the SW Bash - together with some new ones and some members I have talked to over the years but previously never met. 

 

Put my name down for next year.

It's a DeArmond Jet Star, with added Peavey T-40 pickup.

Gary is saying  "Without a cap on, I get an extra three inches of headroom."

 

Or Chris is saying  "Am I meant to be on-stage?"

[cetera]

I'm saying "I'm taller than you, even without a cap on...."

@basexperience looks both delighted and surprised to be surrounded by so many pedals! "These pedals are fantastic  - and they are the same ones that I have at home! What are the odds of that?"

 

I chatted a while, and was infected by his enthusiasm and passion for playing. And I was reminded that we play music, rather than work music!

@ceterais saying...

 

"you can tell it's a valve amp, Chris, because I can even feel the heft all the way up here!"

The Handbox WB100 is superb, I bet the R400 is too!

Gary: I swear it was like biggest storm I have heard, it sounded like the lightning was this close!

 

Chris: Never been to a Thunder gig before then?
