It's a nice upgrade, particularly if your bass has the Just a Nut II fitted. Awful nut!

This is such a bizzare argument.

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1468796662' post='3093434'] The Behringher pedal allows 2 basses to be plugged into to the same input and the levels set by the controls on the pedal, put your foot on the pedal you can switch between 2 basses, why is this muppet making an issue of something so simple!! [/quote] I'm sorry, but have you got one? The instructions very clearly say that you are wrong, and the Level controls control the Output level of each Output, not the input gain of each input. Then again, this is Behringer and I'm happy to believe the instructions could be wrong! However, based on what it say, Tauzero is spot on.

True, but if people are stupid enough to buy it.... He doesn't try to make out its rare, unusual e.t.c.

Eww. Sure it a nice bass to play but aesthetically not my thing. Agree with other comments, you would expect a once piece body at that price point, unless there is a fundamental reason why it should be two piece (Dingwall's dual density body, for example).

Can I replace my 410 with a 210 and get the sound I want?
Kev replied to Iheartreverb's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1468768153' post='3093186'] As a comparison, I think a 212 would be a better sound solution that 2x112, IME... [/quote] Interesting, any particular reason why? I ask as I am considering purchase a 212, or buying another 112. I am favouring the former as having two Vanderkely 112MNT's is a big investment, whereas I can get a 4ohm 212 for much less. -
[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1466777956' post='3078744'] I wanted to go back from a 5 to a 4 so got one with the double stop lever and detune the E to D and B. Once you get them set up they're pretty much set and forget. You just need to remember to tune them as per the video on the website. I use Chromes and have a 110 for an E string it took me about 45 minutes to set both lower tunings but that's it set now [/quote] You use a 110 for low B? Be interested to hear it! Basically, my opinion of these is that if you need to drop mid song, then they are invaluable. Any other use, its just as easy to quickly tune down, you'll learn to do it by ear and muscle memory quickly, I can easily just give my tuning key a quick turn without thinking about it and hit D on the nose. I do have one fitted to one of my basses, I hardly ever use it. But they are very good at doing what they do, no complaints!

[quote name='Iheartreverb' timestamp='1468756552' post='3093094'] Thanks, some solid advice. I got to gigs a lot and see 210 combos all over the place and smaller cabs (112/ 212) but with my experience of trying stuff like that (especially with markbass) it just doesn't sound as "big". I suppose I have two sets of issues. Will I get the sound I want and will it compete with the guitars. I know a 410 is the answer really but I don't want to be one of those bands who think they're bigger than they are. I was in bar last night and saw the load in for the venue downstairs which was two Marshall MG30 practice amps! [/quote] Have you considered a 2x12? -

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1468753766' post='3093056'] I`ve no doubts a Terror and BF210 will be loud enough, but will there be the depth of sound that you need? I`d probably be looking at the BF410 (or any other good 410) for this. More speakers give that depth to the sound that some equate to volume but its just a bigness which enables to the sound to have a constant presence. [/quote] Key info there, its not all about how loud you can get. I would try a ported 410 and compare. -
Great choice, you will love it

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1468673547' post='3092547'] I'd agree with all of that 😎 [URL=http://s1240.photobucket.com/user/mattdigweed/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160507_104036_zpsohtevf0v.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg488/mattdigweed/Mobile%20Uploads/20160507_104036_zpsohtevf0v.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/quote] And Vanderkley too, great minds!

GAS attacked, so I bought this fantastic piece of German engineering the other day:- Arrived today in time for practice tonight. It is sensational. Ill be controversial; if there is such a thing as 'heft' then, rarely for a Class D, this thing delivers it. Incredible depth and punch to the sound. Pushing a good 600w into my Vanderkley when cranked pushing it to its limit, but I could take it past around 11oclock for fear of bringing the rehearsal room ceiling down. Really impressed, and suits me more than the Gallien Krueger Fusion 500 it replaces. In truth, at volume tonally there is little to split the two when flat, with the Tecamp having that mysterious 'heft' and a slightly warmer, punchier sound, compared to the edgyness of the GK. The Tecamp's Taste control is far more usable than the GK's Contour for me, and it does get louder. I really like the EQ points on the Tecamp as well Headphone amp is really, really good too. Best I have used, actually

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1468607007' post='3092149'] Colour co-ordinated with the cab sim too! [/quote] Ha I didn't notice that!

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1468599643' post='3092089'] Yeah hopefully the analogue aspect makes a difference to the sense of realness. That's always been my biggest issue with plugins, they sound nice but they don't feel quite right in the way they respond to changes in dynamics, they are static snapshots. Even if this isn't the real thing, it's a step closer to it than the plugins. I think I'll probably order one of these real soon. [/quote] I fully recommend you do And thanks for the detailed info, Dan!

Cheers Dan!

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1468576242' post='3091856'] Really curious about this pedal for headphone / studio stuff for a dry signal with no pedals, I've tried most amp sim plug-ins and I always end up turning them off because I find them a little artificial, but from the demos this sounds a lot better. Anyone know what's actually going on inside the box? Gain, some clever eq, what else? [/quote] I don't know, magic?! Its all analogue certainly, which will definitely be one reason why its sounds so much more genuine that many amp sims. I assume its a clever mix of eq, low/band/highpass filters e.t.c.

Bump. Replacement purchased so sale only please.

[quote name='isteen' timestamp='1468403467' post='3090652'] I own the original Darkglass Vintage Microtubes, and I would hate to fork out the extra cash to get the "grunt" effect in their Deluxe version of the pedal. Anyone know how to get something like that - a shourtcut or a cheap pedal to give the tone that edge? [/quote] You'll get close with an eq, but it won't be the same. The Deluxe is so much more than just the grunt control, try one and see what you think. For me, it's worth the extra bit of cash every time.
-
One thing that does confuse me a little - if you look at Flea's bass, it doesn't have wear where this model does, and it has wear where this model doesn't....
-
The Vanderkley and Bergantino are superb, I wouldn't say there was too much between them. Have no experience with the EBS. Are you within range of Bass Direct?

A few actual pics for you

This is a cracking 500w Class D amp, with a 3 valve preamp running at full 300v plate voltage. One of the nicest tube preamps I'v heard in an amp, and is capable of all kinds of growl. The amp gets very clean as well, with the input gain and db pad giving you as little or much hair as you could want. Two channels for switchable gain levels. [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]It is LOUD. 8ohms into a 1x12 (~300w) is enough to keep up with a very loud metal drummer and two guitarists, but with the full 500w into 4 ohms this will have very impressive 'heft' indeed!

For the sake of full [/font][/color][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]disclosure, there is a little rack rash on the top (see pic below) and one or two of the pots are a occasionally a little scratchy (think every amp I'v owned has had this in some form!), obviously small things but I'm being picky! Amp is in great shape, I will be sad to see it go.[/color][/font][list] [*]500W Digital power amp [*]All tube preamp (Three 12AX7s) w/ 4-band Active EQ [*]Footswitchable Boost w/ Volume control [*]Variable contour with mid frequency select [*]Deep and Bright switch [*]Mute switch [*]Active/passive switch (-14dB) [*]Effects loop [*]Line out, headphone out and Tuner out [*]XLR out with pre/post EQ and ground light [*]2 Speakon outputs [/list] Amp comes in sturdy case with plenty of room for power leads/cables e.t.c.
