  1. EDIT: Sorry, the price is a typo. Meant to put £270+ PP. Got this a couple of years ago, and never thought I’d part with it. Ive only done maybe 2-3 gigs with it and about 10 rehearsals. Its mainly be used at home for headphone practice. Never had any issues with it, but its now gathering dust as I’m not playing bass at the moment, and I want to get a Source Audio EQ2 so this will help fund that. Its in good condition, some very minor surface makes here and there, which are covered by the sparkle finish, but has two more noticeable surface scratches on the front. Hopefully the photo bellow shows a that its not really an issue. Its on the latest FW Comes with box and all the bits of paper etc, USB cable, also PSU and an extension lead i brought as the one on the PSU is a bit short. Ill also include a small two way foot switch that gives you a total of 5 foot switches. Would prefer a local (to me ) pick up but willing to ship for another £15. No trades, unless its the above SA EQ2. UK only. Not in a rush to sell it, so will hold out for asking price or just keep it.
  2. Stew just brought a pedal off me and it couldn't have gone smoother. Paid on time and, well not much more to say. This is what i love about selling and buying on here, total trust and reliability both ways.
  3. Posted but all mine were class D, never mind 😂.
  4. Although a lot of us want more power, in real life i dont think many of us really push what we have. For my gigs i know a good, pokey 1x12 would just about cover it (maybe thats not the CN112 then). I guess it depends on the SPL and tone of the cab though. I gigged my BB2 for about a year, and rehearsed with it a lot. When i changed to the VanderKley 1x15 i started to turn my amp down and filled the room more. I gigged an Ashdown MAG300 C115 for a couple of years. Thats putting out 220watts. Now all my amps are 800watts, but i never go over 10 o’clock on the master. I know thats no real indication of power, but it helps when its one head and different cabs. With only the cab changing its easier tell which is better for me. My thinking is really that I’m not going to be playing bass live in the future, so its more just having something i could use occasionally if i had a change of heart.
  5. Well basically yes. Most, if not all our recent gigs have been on these. Thats why i love the Berg, as its not as deep sounding. Tight low end but without the extended lows. Thinking of getting a 1x12 version and selling the 2x12. Probably wont need anything for a while so it will free up some space.
  6. Although ive said i didnt get on with it, the 3 gigs i did with it weren’t too bad, although i still think on a crappy hollow stage its not an ideal cab to use, even with a Gramma pad. Took a lot of EQ’ing. When this mess is all over ill get to one of your gigs and will do you proud 👍
  7. I’m guessing the camcorder and PA have a lot to do with how the bass sounds in that recording, but it does sound good whatever.
  8. I think if I had the moment I wouldn’t get one of these. I’d like one, but i think it prefer something with a more varied sound. When i got my MODX in July i started getting the old analog sound sets (JP8, Moog, OBX etc). I was i heaven for a bit, but then realised i dont really have a need for them, and thought they all sounded pretty similar. Maybe i just remember them all in a different light.
  9. Yeah, saw these last week. I can only dream about owning one. Although i have P5 tones in my MODX, its not going to be anywhere like the real deal.
  10. Ive gigged both a F112 and BB2. Didnt really get on with either in the end, but in hindsight the BB2 seemed fuller and thicker. I felt the F112 was too clear. Definitely not flat, and with quite a big low end, but didnt have the overall ‘girth’ the BB2 had (and i never felt either had the girth of a more radial cab). It had the clarity, and mid ‘poke’, but didnt seem to sit in the mix well. It was always a bit to clear. I didnt like the BB2 much as that too has quite a big. low end, which i felt dominated the other freq’s, but looking back, threw BB2 seemed to sit in the mix better. I did have a good enough tone with both at gigs, but i never found either to be what i was really looking for. Given the choice, I’d go for the BB2, if for nothing else its so much lighter and easier to carry.
  11. Nice one. Will get it for Kindle. Ashamed to admit ive not read Dave Vader’s one yet, even though i got it when it came out. EDIT:I just got it. Even the bit about the older boys and their Yes/Prog records made me laugh. Same thing at my school, while i too was listening to TOTP cover albums (and Burt Weedon/the Shadows while trying to learn to play).
  12. Ah, i missed that. I will say though that you can open up certain freq’s and get a bit more growl/dirt, although its only revealing whats already there. I used to get a nice mild dirty tone from my P bass with the right settings.
  13. That’s really cool. If I didn’t have the Stomp I’d be getting that (almost did anyway last month).
  14. Has anyone mentioned the Q/strip yet?
  15. Yes, SA do a very nice EQ2 that has a hell of a lot of options plus, but not the loops. I tihnk you are basically describing the Helix Stomp, Global HPF, LFP, up to 6 (soon to be 8 ) blocks that could all be Parametric EQ’s, each also having variable HPF/LPF, and you can place the effects loop anywhere in the chain. In theory you could have each block just acting like one band of EQ, so the FX loop can be placed anywhere between any of the bands.
