  1. Past hour
  2. Not quite new but in such good condition it looks new. Its one of the earlier 212 cabs i believe. Bought @eddbass cab from the for sale section yesterday. When i went to try it Eddie had it set up in his conservatory with a TC Staccato amp. Boy that thing was loud. All set flat same as the bass. He let me use his gorgeous Warwick Jack Bruce Signature Thumb bass to test the cab. Initial reaction after the volume was how deep and yet clear it was. The tone was even across the full bass range. No boominess anywhere and no high end shrill that i've experienced with some amp/cab set ups over the years when you boost the EQ on the bass. Loved it, bought it there and then. An easy one hand lift too so that was another huge bonus. Got it home and set it up with my Mpulse 600 and using my Gaddy Jazz it just sounded so bloomin good. Left the amp with the same settings as with my Mesa PH212 cab but this sounded deeper and clear with every note. As i positioned myself around the bass cave (its a small box room so not a lot of space between Mesa rig, multi bass rack, filing cabinet, Hi-fi separates and my album and CD collections along one full wall) but if you stand to the side of the cab you can still hear it as clearly as standing in front of it. I've never experienced that with a cab before. The volume and tone remained the same even leaning over it and beside it. Its hard to describe that TBH. Its a very well built solid cab. Handles at each side and one on top and a set of inbuilt wheels at rear bottom edge to tilt and run more so on even floors i would imagine. Only one Speakon connector on the back. Not that i'd need to hook up another cab with this one as its fairly loud at 4ohm. My only minor criticism and its been rectified in newer models i believe is that having strap handles on the sides means it can't be stored securely on its side in the car so i may put some small rubber feet on one side fixed to the corner metal protector screws. Might need to use slightly longer screws but that's fine. Doing it this way means no other holes drilled in cab for extra feet. That way it will sit flat on its side in the car. Other than that i can't fault the cab. Will use it at Beat Generator gig in Dundee this coming Saturday to give it a proper test but i'm confident its gonna work a treat. I think i may be a BF convert after this cab. Dave I believe the newer models have recessed handles on the side. No big deal and an easy fix.
  3. Hi, How did you try to update it? Via Guitar Lab or manually? Might be something pretty dumb like a ,,not so good,, USB cable. I’ve got one but for the sake of it I can’t remember how I updated it.. Ver 2.0 last firmware on mine.
  4. The brightest basses I've ever played... well, one would be my old GB (now owned by @meesterbassman)- Bernie makes a point of his basses having a very extended top end, he always called it the "high-tech sound". It was also all ash and maple, so it was a very bright, trebly bass to begin with. Others would be pretty much any Status - the top end you can dial in on those is crazy. And MTD - those custom Bartolinis they use are super-crisp, and they'll definitely shred some tweeters with the treble control dialled right up. Also, pretty much any bass fitted with a John East U-Retro or Uni-Pre- the high end boost you get when you pull up the treble control is very sharp. I've owned several Bongos, and still have one. They can go pretty high, but not "pingy" - their character is mostly in the high-mids rather than super-high treble.
  5. Brand new unplayed in Box etc. The bass is unused and will remain in its box etc. I won this bass in a comp so offering it for sale at less than retail as it is not really required by me at this time. Not looking for a trade currently collection or postage possible.

  6. To be fair I think you're right. I'm pretty sure they only introduced the 4 ohm version a couple of years ago and made the 4 and 8 ohm versions the standard options since then but will still do a 2 ohm version on request

  9. I have 4 Sandbergs and just sold a Lionel... 7.5lb isn't that remarkable, I have a fretless Lionel that is just over 7lb.
  10. Thanks everyone for the help on this thread. Strings on my bass successfully changed from old Helicore hybrid to Evah Pirazzis. I did have to open out the slot for the E string in the tailpiece with a file, as the string was too wide. (I texted my teacher first 🤣). My pegbox isn’t as pretty as JPJ’s though.
  11. @Richard R you can have "Pump it up", by Elvis Costello, if you wish.
  12. We use a Google calendar for our bands email address. We email meeting invites for rehearsals, gigs, when people are away, etc. to that email address, and it comes up on the calendar for everyone to see.
  13. Damn! I wish I had thought of that! 🤣
  14. I’m way ahead of you on that point Dave, order already in (via Mark at Classic And Cool Guitars) for a Superlight Lionel but lead time is 2 years. So if I can get hold of one in the meantime would be great as even my JMJ Mustangs at just under 8lbs are getting a bit heavy, who knows where the back will be in 2 years.
  15. I am here to make the inevitable "pump up the bass" joke.
  16. What do we reckon folks? A new bass, a pedal, an amp, a complete new sound system? #HowHasWavemakerSinned?
  17. It might be cheaper to get a shipping company to send a small container than take everything as excess baggage on an aircraft (normally a very expensive way of doing it). It depends on how long you are moving abroad for, and how many things you are taking with you.
  18. Just published hardback book on Manfred Mann, covering their 60s career through first-person interviews with musicians. 280 pages, fascinating reading. Retails at £25. I am charging half price plus £3.35 UK postage - £15.85.
  19. Is a custom order direct to Sandberg out the question with a limit on the weight being an essential part of the order. ? Dave
  20. That's gonna look F.A.B... followed 🙂
  21. I've never played a real fender jazz either. Only cheap copies. Are they any good?
  22. I honestly don’t recall, it was sold on here. Hardly used, as you say they’re loud! I’d had all the ‘boutique’ 2x12s before and this was the one that I liked most. Just sat so well with a band and not a total chore to move! GLWTS!
  23. My first "big cab"was a 1970's Traynor (Yorkville Sound, made in Canada I understand) 2x15 loaded with two Celestion 15's I was given. From memory the cabinet didn't reach seismic lows, although it was plenty meaty for the bands I were playing in, but the upper mid range frequencies were really smooth and present - sublime P bass tone. I ran it with the Marshall Intergated Bass System 200W head, a great lil lead sled, but I would love to own a Marshall 7400, it's a bucket list amplifer for sure!
  24. Ooooh I diddnt know that. 810 for me not bad!
  25. There are 7/8 of us, we have a WhatsApp group and if an enquiry comes in it goes straight on the chat to see who is free. It works pretty effectively.
