    I believe you can select the eq points on these too.

    How’s it playing now with the Babicz? I had a regular Babicz on a jazz and it was so easy to set up!

    Still want don’t need!

    Tecamp 212M is a good consideration. It’s got NeoD speakers and a 6 position tweeter control which can be adjusted to suit on the soft side and hard side. 20kg or less and an easy carry with the side handles. The ‘M’ size is a good fit for most car boots and also gives a nice look on stage if that’s important. Mine is 600w and as I’ve mentioned elsewhere it just loves watts! If watts were consonants this cab would be like “I’ll have a consonant please Rachel! And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another!” And that’s just the first seven watts! It can go right up to 600 of them. I’ve never pushed it far enough to know but I’ve played BIG rooms with it and had no bother. Eich, I believe, went back to ceramic speakers maybe Tecamp did too but I’ve not really looked at another 212 since getting this as it was and remains the right balance between tweak ability on the tweeter, size, weight, power projection and performance and if I play my jazz into it sounds like my jazz. If I play the short scale it sounds like my stubby wee shortie. If I’m throwing the thumb at something I can add zing at the tweeter and fine tune. I prefer a less crispy top end so not really my thing but slapping does come across loud and clear. Folks will know you’ve changed techniques! I don’t see so many available but there should be some out there at a good price as guitar guitar did a massive sell off 8-10yrs ago.

    This is close

    I feel honoured and I’ll keep an eye out for any further edits.

    I’m looking forward to your post on sucking eggs 😉

    Good on them!

    No that was Rogers idea!

    Ha I can’t believe I wrote Roger 🤣

    Aye it sounds great - it’d just be fun to hear it in its ‘normal orientation’. For anyone who’s interested it’s a David Allen pick up and said to be voiced mid way between a 60’s and 70’s model. I’ve no idea how it’s wound or that.

    Mine is actually Dood’s old Shuker body/PB70’s neck Queen inspired P. Which I bought as it was the same look as my old ‘78 P bass which had been stripped back to a natural finish!
  13. krispn
    And I have Dood’s old Roger Taylor inspired P bass. It’s a wonderful bass!
  14. krispn
    No problem! I’ll probably put this back to a regular p eventually... I like that pick up and don’t actually think I’ve had it installed ’the right way round’ yet so it’ll be good to hear it as Leo intended.

    Slap bass is when the wellingtons are made form tin!
  16. krispn
    I have a p bass here with a reverse neck pick up so if you want to use that as a demo for some of your pick ups to hear them in context I'll happily drop it over. It's a solder less harness too so hassle free.

    It was me who asked for a track or two as it would have helped me make sense of "+2 db gain stage" and "55/45 mix" etc. etc. of something else. It's not a criticism just some of us work better with sounds or visuals rather than verbose posts which kinda lose meaning 7 or 8 paragraphs in. I wasn't asking to dictate the conversation and if I'm being honest its a pretty fair question, it might even have made sense to post a picture of the pedal board(s) too to contextualize things. I'm happy to post links to some of my music... but it's likely just gonna be me stumbling through an arrangement on either a p or j bass with zero effects

    As has been said often at the price points these go for it’d be replacing great cab for great cab. I’m not sure what the berg would offer over and above the tecamp. What was your take on the berg on a gig compared to the F112 or the BF? If the 212 has been the sound your like haven’t you sold off about 4 of them to go for the lightest option? I think this was covered on another “what’s the best cab between X and Y” and the winner was cab Z simply because it was the lightest!

    I like tone. I’ve been in bands were there’s been real consideration of frequencies and tones so instruments complimented each other. It was a very real part of the band’s rehearsal. Ultimately it all went to sh*t at gigs because we had no real control over our sound. I remember soundchecking in a room and every time I hit a G on the E string something in the room vibrated. The sound man asked if I needed to play that note I suggested he start to notch out the eq at 100, 200 400, 800 etc until he fixed the troublesome vibration and if it didn’t work I’d offer some alternative frequencies to try. Knowing about frequencies and tones is helpful to make sure we eliminate feedback of gaps in a sound. My point is we all cared about the overall sound. Most players do - we all want to sound ‘good’ to our ears. I don’t think anyone would question the enthusiasm and passion many BC’ers have over their gear and tone and I’m sure for some genres of music all the effects create sounds and soundscapes which are greater than the sum of their parts. Seriously one or two sound clips would be really useful if you wish to share ‘your tone’

    Its not a Tecamp but the important info is it’s over 15kg and doesn’t go low enough for a 5 string 😀
  21. krispn
    Yeah old fashioned power sections in them both so not really heavy but not lightweight - maybe 14kg?

    The cab and my amps. I find that the cab works equally well with both heads. One has a tube preamp with vintage fender tone stack on one side with a second dedicated tube overdrive channel (with a blend between the two channels) on the other. It’s got some neat options - a semi para eq and room balance (tilt eq). Most of these features are switchable on/off from the amps footswitch. The other head the top one has a very clean, quick pre with 3 band semi para eq. It's been likened to the Tunderfunk in terms of its overall voice/features so definitely a clean powerhouse! Both use the same power sections but one is lower output 600w and the other is full 1200w. From memory the cab is rated at 600w 4ohm.

    I should add I only say this as I've said on a few threads (like the synth ones) I'd love to hear some of the sounds people describe in context. A synth sound or a dirt sound isolated is one thing but to hear sounds in context makes far more sense. I know what a lot if the gear mentioned is and does but reading a pedal list with settings doesn't really help me create a sonicscape - maybe I just don't have the imagination!
  24. krispn
    one or two sound clips would be much easier
  25. krispn
    Yup big 212 fan - it’s the same cab I’ve been using these last 8yrs or so, so no changes since we last talked about our back line. The 112 doesn’t see too much action since quitting the country gig as it was handy for the smaller stages but I packed that gig in right before lockdown in a rare moment of foresight - I should really have been burnt as a witch!
