    I'm a huge fan of the quarter pounder. It tames the mid heavy element of the average P bass and gives a bit more clarity in the low end. Best of all - it reacts really well to the tone control. Nice and bright when it's full up and deep and thuddy when it's all the way down.

    MXR do an Eddie Van Halen wah now. He never used a wah either. Not that I can remember. I have the EBS Stanley one. It's ok but the RRP is stupid. I don't use it at all these days. Not much call for it with orchestra use!

    http://ebssweden.wordpress.com/tag/fuzz/ Looks interesting! I sold my Sheehan drive as it wasn't quite dirty enough for me, but this might do the trick!

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1381604764' post='2241379'] If you're happy with the sound why change just to go lighter ? Use your ears and don't be a sheep. [/quote] You've never had back trouble have you?

    [quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1381505725' post='2240055'] Its worth noting that BF cabs fall into two camps tonally. The compact and midget are essentially small/light/efficient cabs that still fundamentally sound like a traditional "bass cab" i.e. some degree of coloration and upper mid emphasis. The big series OTOH are a very different proposition and are designed to act like PA cabs (i.e. minimal coloration and flat frequency response) with an extended low end. Its the same design philosophy as ACME accugroove et-al. If youve spend decades playing through traditional bass cabs, and setting your amp/bass to sound the way you like, then hearing the same bass/amp through such a clean flat cab is going to be either a revelation or a shock. As a previous poster said what you hear though this sort of cab is going to be much closer to what the audience hears out front when the bass is through the PA. [/quote] That's very interesting. I wasn't aware of that. I would guess then that I like my bass sound to be coloured by the cab. So the question is - Can starting from scratch on the Preamp & EQ settings still give me the sound I want with a flat response cab?

    Well, I appear to have sold my Sonus so I may well be in a position to do some proper comparisons. Anyone with a BF close to Northampton?

    Sold to Pete pending the usual meet up in a half built train station!

Collection from Northants is preferred as I don't think I have the box anymore (although it might be in the shed). They buyer can try both cabs and see which one they want. The official Bergantino cover (RRP at a silly £60) is also included in the £450.00 asking price. thanks

    PRICE DROP £850.00 I need to go cab shopping. So a massive price drop to £850.00. Cash only. No trades.
  14. fretmeister
    Clearly I'm going to have to try one, and a Berg CN112. I definitely want to get the weight down from my current cabs so I will be selling 1 at a time, as I need something to play though and the wife has a massive sense of humour failure on new cab delivery day if a cab hasn't already left the building. I'll get an advert and pictures up later on. They have been gigged..... with an acoustic orchestra! Not very loud at all!

    [quote name='funkle' timestamp='1381422287' post='2238941'] Big Baby 2 on order. If all goes well, could basically be a one cab solution for just about any situation for me. We'll see how it pans out. [/quote] What's the expected waiting time? I quite fancy one of them.
  16. fretmeister
    Anyone near Northampton with a BF cab that I could try? I'll bring the chips!
  17. fretmeister
    Status have a 32 inch option on their headless basses.

    [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1381412730' post='2238697'] If it helps, I'll buy one of your HDs if you do decide to sell [/quote] Mmmmm. I say, Mmmmm.

    I have a pair of Berg HD112 cabs. They sound great, but they are quite heavy for a 1x12, and in the places I'm playing at the moment there is a lot of carrying up and down stairs. Both the Super Compact and the Big Baby 2 appeal to me. I would need 2 cabs for my split rig, but I could cope with a single cab for a while. Or do I just stop pissing about with a split rig and get a Super Twin and have done with it? The wheels may well offset the weight nicely. At the moment I'm using a tone a bit like Kyle Eastwood's on 'Rue Perdue' - from about 40 seconds in. [url="https://myspace.com/kyleeastwood/music/song/rue-perdue-49496642-53813828"]https://myspace.com/kyleeastwood/music/song/rue-perdue-49496642-53813828[/url] and his 'Song for you' [url="https://myspace.com/kyleeastwood/music/song/song-for-you-49496641-53256382"]https://myspace.com/kyleeastwood/music/song/song-for-you-49496641-53256382[/url] Deep and chewy! Someone make my mind up for me please!!

    AARRGGHHHH! Late to the party again.
  21. fretmeister
    Do you fancy a Zon Sonus?
  22. fretmeister
    Thanks for the offer, but I don't play 6 strings. Most of the time I don't even play 5. In 25 years playing I'e only found two 5 strings I like, and I still have them!
  23. fretmeister
    Got the email! ta. What can I sell...
  24. fretmeister
    Bump Had a few questions about part-x trades. [s]A light weight maple board Fender Jazz maybe. Really needs to be 8.5 lb or under.[/s] [s]Lightweight 1x12 cab? Or even a pair? Berg CN series, or Vanderklay?[/s] Scratch that. I've decided I want new cabs. So I need the cash!
  25. fretmeister
    I love the service, but the amount they pay to the artists is appalling. Frank Gambale recently did a breakdown of his earnings from it and 17,000 plays of one of his songs earned him... 15 cents. That's it. 0.0008 cents per play.
