bassfan Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Finally after 18 months of talking about it. It’s here. Arrived this morning and I’m very pleased. Quick play with the Status. Paired with the CN212 and it sounds awesome. Intuitive to use and very small! I have a gig tonight and it’s coming along! Edited March 14, 2020 by bassfan 9 Quote
Al Krow Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Congratulations! You've gone fully Berg (well nearly, just need a Sandberg bass😁) Can't wait to hear it in action and also to get your thoughts on whether your Mesa M6 could now be relegated to back-up amp... It does look great! 1 Quote

Al Krow Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) I can tell that you've done a good thing getting into @walshy's supply chain! I think I'm going to have to follow in your footsteps at some point soon! Out of interest, Walshy what's succeeded the BAmp in your own line up? Edited March 14, 2020 by Al Krow 1 Quote

Unbelievably brilliant bits of kit. The Handbox is so good, it’s crazy! All welcome in my supply chain 😂 1 1 Quote
bassfan Posted March 14, 2020 Author Posted March 14, 2020 I was so eager to play it and get a post up I didn’t thank the man himself for holding it for me for nearly 3 months!!! Big thanks to @walshy 1 1 Quote

bassfan Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 It’s a keeper. I love it. It’s very different to my Mesa m6 but in a good way. Obviously not as Fat sounding with no valves but it’s very versatile. Band loved it. Complimented for cutting through the mix by a guy watching us from another band. It’s tiny and powerful. What’s not to like. mill get to grips with all the features soon enough! 😃👍🏻 2 Quote
AndyTravis Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Great bloke gets a great amp. What a winner. 2 Quote

It’s all in the clever DSP! 5 Quote
Cuzzie Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Congrats - nothing better than getting some new kit and getting it straight out there, best way to do it. With a Status bass as well, it will be killer 1 Quote

Its quality, it’s never going to sound bad, so it’s not really a risk IMO! Thats a Stealth bass as well is it?! Hard pushed to get anything better Edited March 15, 2020 by Cuzzie Quote

It was/is quality I just need to fine tune. No the bass is an S2 (headed). Sounds killer (IMO). Quote

Dood Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I'll see what I can cook up for you later! The settings will be for my own bass which is far removed from passive pickups, but I might grab my P bass over and create something too if I have time I love this amp. @Bergantino Audio knocked it out of the park with the original version but the amount of software updates you can load on since are just superb. I also love that if you do an update and don't like it, you can just revert back to the previous version you did like without interrupting progress! - That said, I am yet to do that as every update has been a very positive one. 4 Quote
afterimage Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I have one too as Dood says the firmware updates are excellent Very intuitive controls a certain Walter Becker had one these Play around with all the settings lots to enjoy Quote
