    If you keep the standard valve configuration in it (rather than swapping the pre valves out for lower gain ones), you'll get some grit if you dig in. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8F99VkSXsI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8F99VkSXsI[/url]

    The 30 is essentially the old LB30 in a new housing. It breaks up easily, depending on the valve type and volume you are using.

    I collected my 1156 from Bass Gear today and gigged it tonight. I have to say, I am amazed at how good it sounds. The 6" driver is a real secret weapon, as it just seems to sit on top of the 15s tone and give loads of clarity without any nasty tweeter sizzle. The 15" driver sounds huge, but in a controlled way. The cab's light too. And it's loud. I can't believe I'd ever need another cab, giving me a 4 ohm load, but a 1126 for smaller gigs is very tempting. Amazing...

    My 1156 has just landed in Hampshire

  6. franzbassist
    Yes, these are the biz.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1416039651' post='2606287'] I LOVE the 115. This can only be another flavour of that goodness. [/quote] I'm very excited by the musicality of the 15 used in this cab, and the 6 will just add lots of lovely detail without a tweetery sizzle

    Our very own Wateroftyne uses a Walkabout with TKS cabs. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSoKZXr4iy8[/media]

    Hello Si First dibs! I may well be interested. Going to PM you. Cheers Gareth

    Spent some time at Russ' this afternoon and had a play on this beauty. It's definitely not your typical 70s Fender as it's light (my guess is 8.5-9lbs) and is really resonant. It's lovely to play. £1650 is an amazing price for a vintage bass of this quality....

    [quote name='tks.se' timestamp='1415022865' post='2595714'] 1156 reduced! [/quote] And now on its way to me

    I can only speak from personal experience, but I have owned two (one of which I still own) and they were both superb instruments.

    This cab is now sold

    Thanks chaps Rosewood or ebony is cool as the bass will wear flats. I don't want an ebonol board, which I think rules out Mighty Mite. Looks like it's All Parts of Warmoth...

    I am looking to fit an unlined fretless P bass neck to a bass, but I have no idea which of these makes is better. Or are they much of a muchness, or is there another make to consider? Help me out folks!
  16. franzbassist
    Isn't just a pimped generic P bass?
  17. franzbassist
    Great little amps these. Find that sweet spot and dig in!

    Bump for a lovely bass from a great guy

    I love everything about this cab, but I've decided that I am just a 12" kind of guy at heart. I bought this Bergantino HD210 in December last year. I A/B'd it against a lot of other cabs and it just sounded [i]right[/i] to me: full and phat, but with plenty of definition.[list] [*]2-10” woofers w/ 56oz. magnets [*]High intelligibility tweeter [*]Power handling: 400 watts [*]Custom phase-coherent crossover w/ tweeter control [*]Precision tuned, 100% Baltic birch enclosure [*]Frequency response: 44hz- 15khz [*]Sensitivity: 98db @ 2.83v /1meter [*]Impedance: 8 ohms [*]Feet on two sides, stack it vertically or horizontally [*]Dimensions: 18” ½” h x 22 ¾” w x 12 ½”d [*]Weight: 54lbs. [/list] Pictures to follow, but it looks the same as all the others out there The cab is in excellent condition, as is the Bergantino padded cover. It's been a pretty fallow time for me, band-wise, this last year, so I'd say it's only just broken in now. It certainly hasn't had a hard life. New, this would cost £625 + £50 for the cover. I am asking a firm £450 for both, collected from NE Hampshire. The only trades I'd consider are for a high quality 2x12. Thanks Gareth

    I use the Mono Producer. It's an excellent bag,

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1414350835' post='2588559'] Unfortunately I am going to have to pike out. Damn shame but too much else going on. Next time :-) [/quote] Same for me unfortunately
  23. franzbassist
    This makes me sad

    I've known the guys (and girl) in my main band since 1987, and played in a band with them since 1990. I would class them all as good friends, but funnily enough we don't socialise much outside a band context, but I guess we don't need to since we see each other at rehearsals and gigs anyway.

    [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1414089075' post='2585776'] How much are the S112 cabs going for through your store Barrie? PM if needs be :-) [/quote] Same question on the S212 please.
