I'd agree a 212 just does more - a lot of the super 112's are quite intoxicating on their own and I find in the right context hard to beat but many of the posts over the years when talking about a good 112 is that two are nearly always better than one. I have a db Embee 112 I use for smaller stages and in the flat - it's 8ohm so just needs that extra volume to feel like it's keeping up which is totally fine and expected. With the 212 the additional speaker (more so than being 4ohm) always makes a difference. There are still a couple of venues we occasionally play where the 112 is better due to the wacky stage, and our drummers cajon/ drum pedals set up and as a bonus the fiddle players amp fits neatly on top! If it works, it works!

No they have others which are the original Jamerson ones I think it is

Pedant away. It still sounds great no matter what he used 😀

LaBellas can be a bit stiff and tiring to play initially.

Did you trade back with your normal gear dealer or did you just fancy a change? I thought the F112 was meant to be a really great one cab solution? In saying that I have a great wee112 cab but just prefer the 212 as it feels/sounds better and if I can squeeze a 112 onto the stage I might as well bring the 212. It’s why amps have a volume control right but honestly it just seems to fill out the sound better with the 212 ime. Same for you or?

A year or more? More like a lifetime 😀 flats get fuller and offer more thud the longer you have them on. It’s also advised to go eat fried chicken and immediately play your bass to nail the early Muscle Shoals p bass thump and good clogged up greasy strings.

Tecamp M212 if you can find one. I've been using one for years and it's great. Lightweight, easy to move and has a versatile range of tweeter settings if you need them - the tweeter can be turned off too.

I’ve never had an issue with them and a wee pick up tweak could help if you were to find them lacking but honestly I’ve had many brands of flats over the years but always snap up the TI’s to have on a bass when I can. I kinda flit between rounds and flats and at the minute I’ve got Fender flats (which I quite like and that’s a bonus as they’re quite reasonable), GHS flats (I had the Lakland JO flats and really liked them too - heard that GHS made them and figured their own brand flats wouldn’t be a million miles off) and a LaBella 5 string set from my old P5. My go to are the TI’s and the Fenders!

A couple of TC Spectracomps would give you a lot of options as to how each were configured at the front and end of the signal chain and you’d nab both for under £100 used - not an expensive experiment plus they tend to have decent resale appeal! Or combine one with a more fancy comp such as a Cali CB or one of the many many comps available!

Go for it!

Credit where it’s due sir!

That’s like a Sly and the Family Stone some title!

No but I had access to much cardboard and no friends.

Makeshift reverse p pick guard made and all is sounding well!

Your welcome

Just take it on the chin you'll be fine

Careful what you wish for AT!

There’s a trade offer right there!

Flats can do wonders to the tone and feel of a bass. Folks often overlook how important a string change can be to get a different sound. I love TI flats and have Reid a few different brands but keep coming back to them. The feel, tension and tone all work for me. The Fender flats aren’t bad either but that statement could elicit some objections!

There’s one going local to me for £130. Great sounding amps the old SWR. A rehearsal room here used to have a 220w head and it sounded great! Can’t recall the model name.

It’s difference in the manufacturing of the pick ups as the materials changed during the switch over to CBS ownership- I’ve alluded to it earlier in the thread.
