Waiting for a final neck carve and to be strung up and then it should be winging it's way to me.

I have discovered that ear canals change shape as you get older. You should probably be looking at new molds every 4 years or so. I wish I knew this before today.

SONIC BLUE! SONIC BLUE! MATCHING HEADSTOCK! MATCHING HEADSTOCK! RELIC RELIC RELIC RELIC! Can you see where I feel it should be going?

Strip it yourself http://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online_Resources/Finishing/How_to_strip_a_modern_poly_guitar_finish.html and send it to https://www.facebook.com/Retro169?fref=ts.

Ian! Where have the pictures gone? Not cool.

Battery cover going in to battery cavity and 4 original string ferule holes being left just to remind me that it all started from recycling a Shuker 4 string body bought on here.

[quote name='Reverend' timestamp='1422016945' post='2667774'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I deal with the line up of professional cinema mixing environments - there's some very clever stuff going on. [/font][/color] [/quote] I knew there has to be bassists involved in that given the LF goodness available in the cinema [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1422017159' post='2667780'] I'm intrigued, too. What will it do? [/quote] Wander across to TB and do a search on Bergantino IP stuff.

I am running an IP310. Nothing else has ever come close to it. Yes, I could haul a box twice as big around but that is unattractive. Apparently this new amp has settings for all Berg cabs. Is the USB a way of loading up software and dialling in your own settings for non Berg cabs? Dunno. What I do know is that proper DSP is so much more than "just a little more top end".

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1422003762' post='2667544'] Ooo! I'll be very interested to hear a good demo, to find out if the frets still allow it to sound like an upright. [/quote] Pressure

Sorry, pics tomorrow. I cannot think that far ahead for the next DB bash!

Actually arriving tomorrow but I am too excited!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1421922806' post='2666562'] I'd also reserve judgement....but only because it is Berg. It wouldn't be too hard to cop the better DSP models and put into a dedicated bass amp but also, as it is Berg, it has to stand a chance of being creditable. [/quote] My guess is that the DSP is not about modelling classic heads but speaker management.

Major leap forward in amp design. Other companies are going to have to up their game. None of the grown up PA systems go out without DSP. DSP is obviously happening in all the smaller heads, but here it is happening for specific cabs and it is configurable. This is the future.

I am very pleased and Dave has been exceptional throughout the whole process.

Yep, they are ACS. However, I have come to the conclusion that it is time for some new ones. Once you pass 40 your ear canals change shape and the suggestion is that you get new molds every 4 years. I am happy to go with ACS, but someone has pointed me in the direction of Hocks filters as well. Does anyone have any experience of the Hocks stuff? TIA
