[quote name='Freddie75' timestamp='1406113892' post='2508402'] Thanks guys. I've decided to go with the Berg CN212. Regards Freddie [/quote] Excellent choice. One year on and I'm still totally pleased with mine. Best cab I've owned. Just discovered that it fit in the back of my Smart with room to spare. The Cab Gas has diffused.

New Mesa Boogie All Tube Bass Heads Prodigy/Strategy
obbm replied to danweb22's topic in Amps and Cabs
Finally got to use my Prodigy depping as house bass at local Jam last week and again last night. Great tone with the Berg CN212. Several comments about tonal quality, clarity and the fact that the bass could be heard cutting through regardless of who was drumming. Despite initial concerns after blowing a fuse early in its life and the odd horror story on TB, it's been very reliable and a doddle to use. -
[quote name='Fran Diaz' timestamp='1405362819' post='2501265'] Cool! And is the bottom of the ramp flat or shaped to follow the pickguard? [/quote] It's flat but the two screws hold it firmly in place. if I could have found some perspex the smae thickness as the PG then I'd have filled in the space. It seems to work fine as it is.

[quote name='Fran Diaz' timestamp='1405346140' post='2501023'] Where did you get the ramp? [/quote] I made it myself.

My fine pair of Metros.

[quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1404163492' post='2489993'] Is that a perspex Ramp? [/quote] Yes. It took me about 4 trys to eventually get it right. It's held in place by longer versions of two of the scratchplate screws so no additional holes or any double sided tape.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1404079683' post='2489162'] I've seen a lot of posts on line that suggest the audio was out of sync on thre broadcast, and that the organisers wouldn't let this sort of thing happen. [/quote] Welcome to the digital world. Back in the days when all television was analogue, studio/OB ->links->transmitter->receiver, it was almost impossible for sound to go out of sync with the picture. Nowadays we are in the world of digital where anything can happen as processing times for sound and vision paths can be quite different. Cameras that are not connected to the main vision mixer are usually connected through "Field Synchronisers" which will delay the pictures and you don't need many of these in series before it becomes noticeable. This becomes even worse if, for example the main stage mixer is analogue, which it probably was, but the vision path was all digital. Delays are put in the sound path to compensate but they don't always get it right. I'm afraid to say that sound out of sync with the pictures doesn't necessarily mean that an artist is miming, it could equally as well mean that the engineers haven't got it quite right. Even my Humax recorder on Freeview is sometimes out of sync.

Which Current Fender Jazzes Have The 70s Reposition?
obbm replied to cytania's topic in Bass Guitars
If I remember correctly the MIJ/CIJ 75 RI Jazz does not have 70s spacing, but MIA does. -
So a temporary tenant moves in to a house next door to this existing popular independent music venue, and then complains to the council, asking them to close it down. Please sign to try and help save The Boileroom in Guildford. Please add your support to this petition.

[quote name='Simon.' timestamp='1402399616' post='2472993'] Damn, damn, damn! I've lusted after this bass since the days when OBBM had it! Why does it always resurface when I'm flat broke? Dave - do you still have the pearloid plate for it? It looked awesome with that on. [/quote] Yes I do if anyone is interested.

I've just received an excellent Sadowsky bass from Arnaud. Instrument is as described, i.e.excellent condition, and it was well packed and shipped promptly from France with full tracking details. Deal with confidence.

Cheap wireless bass/guitar sistem. Should i buy it?
obbm replied to borxas's topic in General Discussion
There are very strict regulations for wireless equipment. Very conveniently they make no mention of which frequencies it uses. I would want a full specification before going any further. -
Welcome Sean. I remember your username from The Dudepit many years ago.

My pink Jazz with Tort PG. Nice combination and little less garish than the white

Mrs OBBM and I are both members of Rock Choir which now has over 16000 members nationwide. No need to read music as the parts are taught by the choir leader at the weekly rehearsals. Once the song has been completed MP3 downloads of each of the parts are available for download. Most recent songs have been "Tears Of a Clown" and "I Can't Fight This Feeling" (REO Speedwagon). We put on gigs to raise money for local charities, some took part in a 200 strong performance at Wembley Stadium recently during the Harlequins/Saracens rugby match. Our choir gets to open on the main stage at Guilfest. We've made a lot of new friends and generally have a fun time. The women far outnumber the men so guys are always welcome.
