Just sold a lovely cab to Richard. Painless transaction as usual. Great comms, agreed a meet up and had a good chat/catch up about all things bass. Trade with covers complete confidence. Many thanks Richard, until the next time 😂

I’ve not seen that before, many thanks 👍

Many thanks guys, I think it’s finally starting to make some sense 😀

Ah, thanks for that. To be honest it was just a general question for my own interest as to how seemingly very different cabs can sound similar (at least to my ears). All I know is that I’m very happy with the sound I’m getting from the Berg 😁

Here goes, I think these are correct: Trace Elliot 2103h 2x10 with horn Impedance: 8 ohms Frequency Response: 50Hz - 6kHz Dimensions: H 610mm (24.6in) W 480mm (16.9in) D 430mm (16.9in) Weight 31kg Power 200 watts max Trace Elliot 1153 1x15 Impedance: 8 ohms Frequency Response: 32Hz - 5kHz. Dimensions: H 610mm (24.6in) W 480mm (16.9in) D 430mm (16.9in) Weight 1153- 27.1Kg (59.7 lbs) Power 200 watts max Bergantino NV115 Woofer: 1-15” Ceramic Magnet Woofer w/ Vented Pole Pieces Midrange: 1-6” Intelligibility NV Series Cone Midrange Driver Cabinet Design: Sealed Cabinet Material: Baltic Birch Plywood Cabinet Covering: Black Tolex Impedance: 8-ohms Power Handling: 400W RMS Crossover: Custom Phase-Coherent Crossover Frequency Response: 45hZ – 6.5KhZ Sensitivity: 96db @ 2.83v / 1-meter Dimensions: 24”H x 18-1/2”W x 15”D Weight: 53 Lbs.

Just sold a cab to John. Had a chat on the phone, agreed a time and a place for a meet up and had a good old natter about cabs. Great communication throughout and a thoroughly nice chap to boot. Trade with confidence 👍

I don’t know too much about the science behind them, but I’ve just purchased a Bergantino NV115 sealed cab. Used it for the first time on Saturday night and it sounded fantastic, clear, punchy and exactly how I’d hoped it would sound. I was/have been trying to replicate the bass sound I have in my head which is that of a Trace 1x15 cab paired with a 2x10 cab but obviously in a smaller package. This Berg to me is the closest I’ve ever gotten to it without hooking up the real thing. Now this is the bit I don’t understand. Why does a modern take on a sealed cab replicate the sound of two old Skool ported cabs so well ? 🤔

That did cross my mind actually. I’m not sure which model the cab was, but it did say ‘04’ in rather large writing on the rear panel.

My backup is a 2011 Squier VM P. Rosewood board, Arctic white with black plate. Fitted a Kiogon solderless loom with CTS pots and Switchcraft jack socket, all topped off with a DiMarzio Model P pickup. Was fitted with a Hipshot Bridge but now reverted to the original BBOT. Looks, sounds and plays great

I’ve had a couple of BTB’s in the past, a 4 and a 5 String. Great quality and really felt right. However, I decided last year that I’m strictly a 4 player so I’m a little disappointed that the new BTB 4 string isn’t available with the Nords 😟. I’ve tried them in the SR Premiums and they sound great.

Yep, I must admit I’m guilty of never even considering them previously 😞

I must admit to being completely ignorant to model names etc but this particular combination sounded great to my ears.

Visited a rather well known Nottingham rehearsal room tonight for the first time. The bass rig provided was a Laney head and cab. I wasn’t too sure what to expect (I think my last dabble with a Laney was a 65 watt Linebacker Guitar amp back in the mid-nineties). Suffice to say I was mightily impressed. Great punchy sound and (dare I say it 👀) dispersion from that low cab. My MIJ P bass straight into the amp. Really impressed, so hats off to Laney 👍

Great basses. I’m the same with my MIJ 70’s Reissue P, best P I’ve ever played. I must get another SH though 😍

I was very much fancying a Euro 4 LX a few months back when the OP (aka The Greek) pointed me in the direction of a 1991 MIK NS-2A that was for sale on the forum. I love it. Fantastic build quality, wonderful neck and beautifully balanced - It’s a dream to play. From the first day I got it, it felt instantly comfortable. After years of playing Fender P’s and Stingrays I too was worried about the strap button over the 14 fret instead of the 12th, but I needn’t have worried. Even switching between the Spector and a P at gigs now is fine. If this is indicative of all Spectors, I’d highly recommend them.

Without wishing to hijack this thread, if you were wanting to try a Sandberg (a traditional P single pickup version) which model(s) would you go for? The range seems pretty baffling to me but I would like to try one for myself.

Any excuse to post a pic of my beloved 250 SMX. It doesn’t matter which class D heads I try (and some of them are pretty good), none of them come close to classic TE 😎

Sold a couple of Scrathplates to Martin. Great communication throughout, including detailed comment on the current state of British banking services 😂 Trade with confidence 👍
