Here's my Sandberg It's a great bass.

Massive price differences! £189 at GAK £130 at Thomann

Damn. I love my Empress. I don't want to believe there is a better pedal comp out there - my wallet will hate me. Again!!!

I'm not convinced by the 'guru' argument. Of course we all have different requirements in a bass sound and that is a matter of personal taste / preference. But the rest - the 'easier to reduce bass than to add it' type argument - personal preference / taste etc has nothing to do with it. It's physics and maths. Either the numbers add up or they don't. The position stated "easier to reduce bass..." is not a comment on quality of sound or whether the sound will be liked by an individual customer. It's simply a scientific question that has a calculable answer. It reminds me a lot of youtube rants about everything from vaccinations to homeopathy to evolution and it always comes down to a straight fight between someone who has a calculator and someone who doesn't, or doesn't know how to use it. Or refuses to use it because it interferes with a cherished and long held world-view. Personal incredulity is not evidence. Personal experience is not evidence. In an engineering problem the answers are in the numbers. Nowhere else.

I've given it a couple of hours use. It's mental. It is not a bass wah in the traditional sense (although it is excellent on guitar) in that the sweep isn't low enough. The pedal is all about getting that Burton filthy wah cutting tone. And it does that very well indeed. The fuzz is nasty in a glorious way and the output levels are frankly stupid. I set up my B7K as a tuby chunky sound (a nod t the Mesa 400+ Cliff used to use a lot) and then hit it with the wah. Instant "Bells" tone. About an hour later I noticed I was still playing that intro over and over again!! So - overall as a quacky funky bass wah - not great, in fact a bit sh*t. As a merchant of cutting filth - utterly glorious. It's already velcro'd and on my board.

Cor. I'm going to buy a lottery ticket.

I don't know if Zero-Mod products do any stick on rests, but it might be worth asking. I have one of their screw on ones that uses the existing scratchplate holes.

iPhone cam is the best I have. But I'll see what I can do.

It has arrived. Will try it later!

It's a brilliant amp. Very clear and articulate, but still with a lovely plummy bottom.

almost - a pair of CN112 Never been happier with my sound.

Get an accountant.

As much as I like the shop, their vid demos suck balls. My Delano loaded berg sounds like a bass and not a banjo. In fact every berg I've played sounds good. I bet that one would too.

Genz Shuttle 9.2 and Streamliner 900, into Berg HD cabs and Vander Neos. I liked the Shuttle with the Bergs and the Streamliner into the Vanders. I bought the Shuttle & Bergs. Then I got annoyed with the weight of the HD bergs and swapped them for CN series when they came out. They worked very well with both amps, so I got a Streamliner as well. Now the Genz heads are in a cupboard and I'm using a Demeter head. GAS is a vile and all consuming condition!

That's my volume thought too. If the vol control is getting anywhere near halfway on a 500+ watt head then it should all be through the PA and mixed properly at FOH.

He was great. I often wonder how the newer stuff would have sounded with him - or whether the new stuff would have been written at all.

Be honest and then f*** them publicly. Twitter is a great place to get a proper reaction to sh*t customer service.

Just got the shipping confirmation. Expected between 3 to 8 days from Germany. Time to get my larger board out again and start planning the layout from scratch.

It seems to me that there is a very obvious choice here that no one has mentioned. Sell the CN212 and buy a pair of CN112 A Pair of CN112 will sound different than the single CN212 - but not so different that a tweak of the EQ can't sort it out. I use a pair of CN112 for the simple reason that I can take 1 cab to woodwind / orchestral stuff, and take 2 for the sweaty stuff. I've been playing for 28 years now and I've never had a cab as impressive as Berg - and I've had a few different models of them.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1431294160' post='2769804'] Yep - stop being a wimp The CN212 is in a different league - Near the top of the premiership vs mid table championship. . . [/quote] Berg fan here too.

Looks like I'll have to take one for the team! Ordered.

I think I want the Vintage one as well now. Need to save some more pennies!
