More like Derek Smalls 😂

Nah It’s ok, I’ll bring my headphones 😂

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.

Ill see you in 2022 then 😔

Only if you promise to use the F112 or BB2 😁

Posted but all mine were class D, never mind 😂.

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.

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.

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 👍

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Nah, its all talk 😂

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.

That’s really cool. If I didn’t have the Stomp I’d be getting that (almost did anyway last month).

Has anyone mentioned the Q/strip yet?

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.

Oooh, ive got one. A Darkglass pedal that is worth the asking price 😂

Stereo Q/Strip with presets. I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

I looked at getting the PJP but also ended up with the m50x. Cant be happier with them, although i did send the first pair back as i didn't feel i needed them. Then i missed them.

Strange that we have had very opposite experiences.

This is the funniest thing ive read for ages. Its a lot easier to not click on the links than it is to click, listen then go and start a thread about it. If it winds you up why listen to them? and if you don’t listen to them why comment on something you haven’t listened to?

My Bose QC35’s last for a good 15 hours, with ANC turned on. I have those, Apple AirPod pro’s and two sets of Jaybirds. All wireless and all work fine with my home cinema and iPad/iPhone. The only latency ive ever heard is from Amazon Prime, and thats through ther TV as well as headphones. Most video playback apps/programs will have an adjustment for latency anyway so its easy enough to compensate for if you do notice it. Obviously using batteries means you have to charge them, so a bit more hassle than passive wired, but having ANC is fantastic IME, and the ability to get up and go to the toilet/make coffee etc without having to stop music or film playing is quite liberating.
