Ooh - that's sexy - in a wires and knobs kind of way 😉

This seems to be the ultimate solution https://www.noll-electronic.de/bass-electronics/tcm-3-p/

Yes, that's my understanding too. 40hz centre is probably fine for cutting. But, should a song call for a bit of extra 'on the fly'bottom then it would probably be better to lift centred in the 'useful' range of the curve, centred a bit higher, with the deeper 40hz being down the bell curve a bit.

That sounds ideal.

Exactly my thoughts. My Dingwall has a Darkglass Pre which I think is at 70hz and that adds plenty of useful bottom, but there doesn't seem many that aren't 40hz.

Just an observation really but it seems that most on board active pre amps have the bass control centred at 40hz. I know there are exceptions to this, but 40 hz seems bordering on the fringes of muddiness. Obviously everyone has a different idea of the perfect tone, but it seems quite a few of us regularly reduce or cut frequencies that low. Just seems that 40hz seems to be 'standard' - am I missing something?

I've had very good service from Sandberg and EBS - it's the little things. I'd lost one of the grub screws from a machine head on my Sandberg and emailed to ask what size I'd need to source to replace it. Couldn't quite work it out - they just popped a couple in the post. Similarly with EBS, I bought a second hand pedal and it had some screws missing - same query as above - same result. They were also great when my HD350 developed a fault, went off to Essex Amp Repairs (they are good too!) who said that they'd need to source the part from EBS as it was a bit unusual. They reported back that they'd also had great support - then raved about the build quality of the amp.

Well this little bass is really annoying - my band prefer it to all my others, it feels great to play and is a right little bruiser in the mix. Makes me wonder why I've got these nice 'quite expensive' other basses. 😏

Hadn't thought of that, I suppose you could stick it horizontally on an amp stand too if you wanted to avoid 'overhang' from a wider amp.

Have you gigged it both ways? That looks a bit top heavy to me. Bet it sounds lush though.

Yep thanks @mep, I've read that - I wouldn't fancy balancing my ABM vertically though. Did you use it horizontally in the 'standing on top' of it type of gig - in your experience how did it compare to vertical? Any difference?

Hi all, just an innocent question...hopefully not a GAS starter...as I like my Bergs 😏 However, I've wondered about the Barefaced 210, and which way up any owners gig them? I can see vertical working with a small head, but probably not with a 'classic' sized lump balanced on top. That then makes me think that if they are horizontal, well they aren't very tall - How does (did☹️) that work out in the typical pub scenario when you are stood on top of your amp? It looks like everything is going past your ankles, or is dispersion that good?
