And produced a warm feel to his tone. The Tumble driers also left a warm yet fluffy tone. Not sure what tone i preferred between them.😂 Dave

Geddy used Ampeg rigs for live work in early years. Farewell to Kings era you can see them on stage, Before that he used Sunn and Traynor. I know he was into GK amps at one point but cant remember the era. Dave

That's a great memory to have. My first experience was hearing 2112. I saw a list of new bands in Sounds or NME in 76 incl Rush, Police and Blondie. The cover of 2112 did it for me. There was something different about them even back then. Bought the album unheard and loved it. Bought Farewell to Kings after that and saw them on that tour. From there i back tracked to Caress of Steel and Fly By Night (just to hear By-Tor) and every album since. Altho i've followed them all these years including Neil's books they haven't always been my fav band at times. Fav band changes with time and mood i guess. Dave

Went for this one, Ordered click and collect today and will pick up later in week when down near the Screwfix depot. Its 25 miles from me. Dave

Really needs to be the folding type for me. Gonna go to Screwfix this week as rehearsals start on Sunday and i want to take my new cabs and own amp to try it out. Dave

Will take a wee look within next couple of days. Wonder if its on their website ? Dave

Altho i started a new cab day topic i thought i would give this a brief update too. Went with the TT800 and the 210 and 115 cabs. TT800 wont arrive till June and using Mpulse on exact same settings as with my PH212 cab. The 115 cab sounds very similar to the PH212 tone. The 210 has same depth but the mids are now clearer. Agedhorse told me the Mpulse amp had a mid range scoop and that is probably why the 115 cab doesn't sound as clear in the mid range. He said i should boost the mids a touch and lo and behold he was spot on the 115 cab does produce that clear mid tone but not quite as good as the 210 cab on same amp settings. Overall i now feel i have a full range bass rig and 1st rehearsals with the new cabs will be next Sunday at a 6hr session. I'm really impressed with how much depth these cabs have compared to other lightweight cabs i've tried and at circa 19-20Kg each its an easy one-handed lift for each cab. As always i appreciate everyone's help and advice and allowing me to understand the subtle differences with the cabs. I'm happy i've made the right choice and i'd happily gig with either the 115 or 210 on its own. Dave

Got that too and joined the FB page. Some good stuff on the FB page too.

Ach your young and healthy. Wait till you hit 60 mate. Then you'll know all about it 😂

I was late home and missed it. Sods law i guess. Dave

Not a problem. Best trying to find a bass that is similar to your own altho having a Peavey T40 is quite a rare beast. The P/J you picked at my house would have been lightweight in comparison to the T40 from what i've heard. Dave

Sorry about the roadworks Scott. I'm guessing that was around the Hamilton area. I had forgotten about that. Glad you're happy with the cab and let me know how you get on with it when band gets back together again. PS Cat still looking for you in Bass Cave 😂 Dave

Just sold my Bergantino HT322 cab to @Eater_of_Birds. Scott did exactly what he said he would. Arrived straight after his work in approx one hour. Tried the cab and agreed to buy, no fuss, no hassle, an easy and pleasant transaction Nice guy and good to talk bass with other people again. Covid safety precautions in place and all good. Have fun and enjoy the cab. Dave

You've got two, you wouldn't miss one. Just kidding Steve. 😃 It gives me time to get used to the cabs with my current amp that i'm used to. I can then hear the differences in just the cabs rather than starting afresh with a full new rig. At home the cabs sound excellent with same settings i had when using the PH212 but the mids are clearer and sharper and that's what i always thought was missing in my tone. Andy (Agedhorse) explained to me that the Mpulse is designed with a mid scoop and that's maybe why the mids were not as clear with the PH212 and same with just the Subway 115. I tried nudging the passive mids up a touch (not much) and low and behold the mids became quite a bit clearer with the PH212 AND 115 cabs. Think i moved the mid from 12 to 12:30 and that was enough to just push the mids up. I'm really pleased with the cabs and the TT800should make a difference having 2 channels to play with. Dave

Send me your address and i'll see what i can do. 😂

Maybe once the TT800 arrives you'll hear it from Berkeley 😂 Used to run dual amp rig with Bergantino cabs. Had a GB Streamliner 600into 2off Berg AE112 cabs and a Warwick amp into a Berg HT322. It was a split signal from my Roland GT-6B. Was quite a powerful sound. Dave

very nice indeed without the guard.

Cheers Tony it wasn't an easy decision. Hoping that being in 2 bands again might recoup some of the cost 😀 Dave

Rehearsals start with one band on 9th May and really looking forward to hearing it within a band setting but i'm fairly confident it will do exactly what i want. Been looking at the Subway range for about 2-3 yrs now. Only bought it because i just sold my Sunday car and money was lying there begging me to buy something. 😁 Dave

Mesa corner in the bass cave. Current bass rig till new Mesa TT800 arrives in June. Only at rehearsal until gigs start again.
