Recorded 20 years ago. Sadly the energy of the live performance was lost in the final mix. 🥺

Having sold all my Bergantino CN Cabs I am now down to a single rig comprising: 2 x Barefaced One10 and a Genzler Magellan 350. (I'd love to add a 3rd One10) Back-up is a Warwick Gnome. Also lurking in a flightcase is an Ashdown Retroglide 800 which is now surplus to my requirements.

I plan to head up from Falmouth again. This time I'll bring my Fender oldies, a 1971 Jazz and a 1973 Precision along with my workhorse, the Sadowsky PJ, plus the BF One10s and a Genzler Magellan 350 which I acquired earlier this year.

I've had one of these for about 18 years but it's never been used much. The tone stack is a traditional Fender design, the same as many pre-amps/amps. The bass and treble controls are boost only and the mid control is cut only so flat should be min bass and treble and max mid. I modified the voicing of mine by changing the capacitor values to match the Alembic F1X.

Steve bought the last of my Bergantino CN cabinets. Faultless transaction once again and he confirmed that it had arrived safely. Thanks Steve

Davie answered my wanted ad for a Behringer P1. Turns out he had one lurking in a drawer. All agreed very quickly and it arrived in a couple of days. What a star.

Herbie came to a SE Bash some years ago and confirmed it. He played on it twice and got paid twice. He gave us a rendition of it live with him on DB and with Dave Swift playing Bernie's famous Fender Jazz.

If you plug a DC cable, the 2.1mm co-axial cable, or even just an unwired plug into the external DC socket it will disconnect the battery.

Dare I suggest a Bergantino CN210?

I never saw this line-up but I saw Jet Harris with the Jet Blacks in Slough in 1962 supporting Little Richard and Sam Cooke.

I have a 100-watt Nobsound, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274444339477, which I use to drive an active stool or a platform with drums. I think the Eich could be an uprated version of this although the price hike is a bit alarming. The 19-volt power supply is 60% the size of the amp so it's all a bit messy. I've modified mine so the speaker outlet is now a jack rather than terminal posts however the input is still a phono. I have yet to try it with a bass through a decent speaker.

I seem to remember that it was certainly less than £100. Maybe someone with a better memory can correct me.

I can remember that when I wanted to buy a proper bass in 1964 a Fender Precision was about £85. In the end I had to opt for a Framus Star Bass at £40. At that time average earnings was about £10 a week.

Had a UL310 and used it for 80 odd gigs when I was playing a lot but then sold it in favour of 2 x UL112. Eventually picked up 2 more UL310s and a UL902 but sadly never got use use them in anger as the band folded. Like so much gear they got moved on and so I never got to hear what this rig actually sounded like apart from in my garage. Great kit.

An A/B switch at the end of your effects chain. A goes to the amp. B goes to a headphone amp.

This is my current board based on the Aclam XS1. In order to maximise space I replaced the end cheeks with pieces of right-angle aluminium faced with self-adhesive silicon rubber strip. Underneath is a Thumpinator and the rechargeable battery pack. It is my intention to replace the Sweeper, the Subnup and possibly the Tuner, BDDI and Thumpinator with an HX Stomp. There are however a couple of issues with this. 1. I need to change over from battery power to mains power as the battery pack does not have enough capacity for the HX Stomp. Not a big deal just need some cash. 2. Going from the the Cali76 to the Stomp will mean that the Tuner function is after the compressor which is not recommended. Would it be sensible to put an FX Loop as the first block of The Stomp and run the compressor on that?
