[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1420033018' post='2645009'] ive had alot of amps but even ones with loud fans like the Aguilar db750 or ampeg svt pro 8 never were so loud that as soon as anyone was playing the noise couldnt be heard. and more and more amps have the heat sensitive fans now so only come on when needed. andy [/quote] Every fan is too loud if it's just bass and clarinet! Lots of space in classical music - fan noise really kills the mood.

Obbm is using his Prodigy with a Berg CN212 with great success. Might be worth sending him a message. I'm a huge fan of Berg cabs too. Beautifully built and sound excellent.

I seem to remember the Genz Benz Shuttle 3 not having a fan - it was 300W. They 600W and 900W versions do have fans. That being said, I play in similar environments as the OP and most of the time I use my little Roland Bass Cube 30. No fan, no transformer hum, no hiss. It's a brilliant little thing.

***SOLD**** Fender Japan 1962 Reissue Precision bass
fretmeister replied to fretmeister's topic in Basses For Sale
BUMP and a string change as I was playing along to Duck Dunn stuff yesterday! [b]Now has a set of new TI Flats on it[/b] - could probably do with a tiny action / height increase if you are worried about a bit of string buzz and / or are a bit heavy handed. You can still have the D'Addario Pro Steels if you prefer, and I might even have a set of played in Chromes instead if that is more your thing. TRADES UPDATE: - as said above I'm really looking to fund another Berg CN112 (no other cab will do!) but I might be tempted with a deal on an Aguilar TH500 head. -

Problems with sight reading in bass clef
fretmeister replied to mike313's topic in Theory and Technique
That's the one! I've also got Clef Tutor (free version) which is a note based quiz against the clock. That keeps the brain going when I'm on the train. -

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/240982-fs-ft-berg-ex112-reduced/"]http://basschat.co.u...-ex112-reduced/[/url] [/quote] If only that had been a CN112 That's what I'm raising money for - I already have 1 and I want a pair. -

I played 4 strings for the first 20 odd years of bass playing, mainly because it took me that long to find a 5 string I actually liked! These days I mainly play with an orchestra (and smaller ensembles) so having the low B allows me to read straight from the bass clef on the piano score. That low B is really important on many pieces. Over the last 3 years or so I've played so much on a 5 that anything else feels very odd now!

Berg CN112. Get a pair. Awesome cabs.

Ignore this post. I found a different link.

[quote name='deepbass5' timestamp='1419005148' post='2635663'] Just wondered if it comes with a Hamster in there with dark glasses p.s. Your timing is dreadful, don't you know its Christmas next week and the wifes birthday two weeks after that. [/quote] If it helps I could sell you a lovely Jap P bass bass to go with it - that would be a really awesome present for her!! -

WITHDRAWN Selling my Mesa Bass Prodigy 4:88 I bought it new, directly from Westside in the last week of July this year. It was £1899.00. It is in perfect condition and comes with the cover. (Only the head is for sale - not the cab or the EUB) It's a big loud amp with huge punch. It easily rattles the windows (and everything else) in my house. Unfortunately I am now only playing in a local youth music trust orchestra group and this amp is far too much for playing with kids on clarinets. For rehearsals I'm using a Bass Cube 30 and I'm only getting a GB Head and the Berg 1x12 out for gigs with the full orchestra. So as much as I love it I can't afford to have it sitting round doing nothing. Full details are here: [url="http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Bass_Amps/prodigy/bassProdigy.html"]http://www.mesaboogi...assProdigy.html[/url] User manual is here: [url="http://www.mesaboogie.com/manuals/bassProdigy_140115.pdf"]http://www.mesaboogi...digy_140115.pdf[/url] Links to a couple of youtube demos from Mesa and from Bass Club Chicago [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b3tgaUcMBc"]https://www.youtube....h?v=0b3tgaUcMBc[/url] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJKdG5A0tAo"]https://www.youtube....h?v=iJKdG5A0tAo[/url] [b][u]Sale and Shipping:[/u][/b] On sale at £1550.00 collected from Northants. I have tried to get some UK shipping quotes - all bookings via parcel2go are limited to £200 damage on amplifiers (loss at £2500) so that's no good. Parcelforce won't offer enhanced insurance on Instruments but don't mention amps - I'm waiting on an email for clarification from them about it, but if covered would be about £105.00 UPS want £175.00 to ship fully insured within the UK. So for that reason it is collection only. [b][u]Trades[/u][/b] I've been thinking about stuff I might want to try and pretty much narrowed it down to: EBS Fafner 2 Aguilar DB751 Both of those are available new at the same price as the Mesa's new price, so I'd be up for a straight swap.
