Sold a Jaydee Roadie I purchased new in 1985, a Yamaha BB1100s fretless and also a Fender Custom shop custom classic. All beautiful basses, but a tad heavy for my shoulder that has had 35 years of gigging. I did not purchase anything as my Sadowsky nyc and pre cbs Fender jazz cover everything for me and are really light weight.

A nice documentary. I have a Sadowsky NYC J bass. A lovely instrument but really expensive on this side of the pond due to duty and taxes. They represent excellent value second hand though.

So sad to hear this news. R.I.P.

[quote name='spacey' timestamp='1418236164' post='2628336'] Most likely on its way to Ireland as we speak. [/quote] How are you so sure?

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1417636715' post='2622591'] Don't they also do a 30 day return, although I couldn't find how much it was to send something back [/quote] Yes they do a 30 day return. I have returned a couple of micro amps to them. It was just a case of printing off a returns slip, dropping them at my local post office and I was charged 15 Euro (I live in Ireland) each time I shipped a unit. Once Thomann received the shipment I was fully reimbursed for the cost of the unit. I was out of pocket 15 Euro which is fine by me. A word of warning though, as the unit must be returned in pristine condition with all original packing, otherwise their may be trouble getting a full reimbursement. Not sure on the cost of shipping back a guitar but if you shoot off an email to Thomann they normally respond quite quickly

I have real GAS for a USA Darryl Jones

Just wondering how these bass tracks are isolated from the rest of the mix?

I recently took delivery of a Kustom KXB500. My intention was to use it as a back up. This amp has had a lot of praise on TB. I have used the CN212 with a variety of micros (Markbass f500, TH500, Puma 900) and the KXB500 is the pick of the crop IMO and cheap as chips. It is simply amazing value. it is now my go to amp.

I had a bunch of basses lying around and sold them last year. My favourite was a Jaydee roadie that I bought in the early 80's. However I knew that I would never gig it again as it is too heavy for my ancient shoulder, so moved it on. No regrets.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1414769537' post='2593168'] I had my own signature bass years back. A Kay wot I'd scratched my name on with a compass point. [/quote] Genius

IME Markbass make pretty reliable kit.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1413953821' post='2583941'] Don't let one bad one put you off trying it, it's a great little amp! You probably won't melt your Berg. [/quote] OK. But if my berg fries I'm commin to get ye

A mate offered me the chance to try out his Orange Terror with my Bergantino CN212 this weekend. Think I will pass.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1413850954' post='2582850'] I put the cab where it sounds best, even if that's in the middle of the stage and you're stuck on the other side. [/quote] I guess that is the right thing to do. Its just that I am feeling a little selfish of late and really want to be in closer proximity to my cab, as it helps to improve my playing. I will experiment at the weekend with re-positioning the cab, but if the overall sound suffers to a noticeable degree, I will position it back in its usual spot in the centre of the stage.

[quote name='bluesparky' timestamp='1413033319' post='2574359'] Well remembered! I gave Hobbayne the note-for-note copy I have - another satisfied customer! [/quote] Any chance of you sending me the tab of this song?

[quote name='Guinness21' timestamp='1413837414' post='2582672'] I actually didn't know that the genz benz was no longer available new, but already I've spotted a few used ones around. I think my ideal sound-wise is the hd 212, and while I could use a trolley to move it around, I'd be storing it upstairs which could be a pain. That is a good point leroydiamond, I could combat the modern sounding cn212 wit a warmer head - I know the th500 has a vintage sound to it, and the little mark could warm up if the blend was on the tube preamp. The pf800 has an ultra lo button, which could boost the lows, and the shuttle 6.2 has the tone shaping features. [/quote] The Berg CN212 is a class cab, but IMO the Genz NX2-212T is the real value for money option. I have used both and would be more than happy with the Genz. A mate of mine pairs his Genz NX2-212T with a Markbass F1 (no longer available new--think there is one in the 'for sale' section here) and is really pleased. That pairing would make for an excellent set up IMO for not much money, when compared with a new CN212+amp.
