[quote name='BurritoBass' post='681762' date='Dec 11 2009, 10:15 PM']I too use rubber rings (Grolsch bottle tops) and I think they are as reliable as anything. I've not had an accident in 15yrs of use.[/quote] Im still liking them. Its not that Im tight..far from it....but I like the fact they dont squeak. They also involve no mods, and basically look fairly decent. Im still mulling over just getting a posh strap.

I had a very similar experience. I compared mine to my LM3 and Orange AD200b Mk3. Thank you for being honest about it! Unfortunately mine also came with QC issues, down to GB, but I agree, it didnt feel like I imagine 900W would. Very brittle....no warmth. I also think it doesnt feel as solid as the Markbass micro amps....I don't know why. Maybe im just not into a hifi tone. I have sent mine back for a TC Elec RH450. Some people will love the 9.0....but Ive finally concluded the Genz sound isnt for me. I'm just glad my dealer was so helpful.

[quote name='whynot' post='680746' date='Dec 10 2009, 10:34 PM']I had an RS210 up till recently and really liked the sound of it with my RH450. Very clear and punchy springs to mind. When I bought the RH450 I checked it out at the Bonners store with the 210+212 and was very impressed. Cabs are a perfect match for the amp I think, and so they should be. The only reason I sold mine one was due to it not getting any significant use. The 210 in many cases was not capable of delivering enough volumn for me (although can hold its own against most 2x10s). I play in a 9 piece, drums one side, electric guitar the other. 3 singers, brass and keys coming through the front monitors. Very easy for a 2x10 to get lost with all that coming at you, even for just backline. If I had owned the 2x12 then I guess I would be happy with that as I mostly use my Tecamp S212 at this time. I'm currently in bass aquasition mode so may look into an RS212 springtime next year and see how that compares to the Tecamp. If it works out then another RS210 later to add for the bigger gigs. One highlight worth mentioning is the RS cabs HF driver. Very subtle but effective. Not at all harsh.[/quote] Cheers for the information. I think punchy would be great, and I think they are a very quirky yet good idea. I think an RS210 + 212 would be a monster of a rig.

Ohhhh yeah! Congrats....and I hope things continue to get better

Now I know the amps get a lot of praise, yet i've noticed now even their cabinets are getting praise on Talkbass.....even by owners with Berg gear. Has anyone tested them out? I like how they are designed....the fact they are tall and slim seems great to me. The price? Pretty good IMO....£374 for an RS210. I know they won't be to everyones liking....but lets face it....what is?! They will have new 'covering' soon as well....Ive seen the RS410 with the new finish and its much better. Ive enquired about the 210/212 finish and its coming soon. Quite tempted to have a jig about and sell some cabs then pic these up. Anyone want to chime in?

Bump....still had a few bands messing me about!

Bloomin heck. I think im more confused than before....purely because half the information is gone.

I like! What weight is it roughly? If I can afford it I'm going for a 200 watt Matamp next year...

Anyone gonna be at the Bass Merchant over the next few days?
Musicman20 replied to Sibob's topic in General Discussion
Are they now stocking DRs? I hope to visit and spend more there once I move to London. Probably the most relaxed and fun shop I've ever been in. First time round I was literally in there 2 hours testing Mark Bass stuff and eyeing up Aguilars. Darren should have a mini bash there hahah! -

Don't trust them. I asked them lots of questions about the same spec Jazz I have in my sig, except the one on their shop was £200 more, and they wouldn't price match. The slightly large bloke in their knows nothing about prices and bass gear.

I hate to say this, and this is all based on actually listening instead of the science, but there aren't any 1x15s you can replace a decent 4x10 with. If you want that much punch and volume, get a 4x10, or at least get a high end 2x12. Aguilar/Tecamp/Epifani and Bergantino are the best bet. Its better to save and get a high end 4 ohm cab with your description you gave of what you need.

Officially for sale. Immaculate condition and comes with 8 spare brand new Bergantino corners. Also has new padded Berg cover. The larger casters are also fitted, so no problems with weight. The carpet covering is much better quality than standard covering, and is still immaculate with no fluffing. Offers via PM please. Genuine reason for sale, just deposited a posh apartment in London. I do not need 6 cabs! Especially all this size. It is fantastic. It may not be lightweight, but it is incredibly small for such a massive sounding 4x10. It is very easy to get on small stages due to the fantastic size and heavy duty removable casters. In my experience, you just cannot get the sheer huge grunt a ceramic speaker gives you, and these ceramic speakers in this cabinet are excellent. Fits in the boot of a VW Polo no probs. Everyone is aware Bergantino are probably the best bass cabinets manufactured today. This model is the High Sensitivity 4x10, which means every watt you put in is squeezed out into a very loud volume. Even the lower wattage tube amps sound massive through this. It has 800w peak, which is a hell of a lot! In addition, the horn is fully adjustable and has a huge range. Turn it off for vintage tone, or half way for a more modern crisp high end tone. The cabinet is front ported. Another Bergantino characteristic is that this cabinet let's you hear your amp and bass as it should be heard. It is very neutral and very very articulate! The price is basically as it is due to purchasing new corners (still brand new and not yet fitted) for the cabinet and a virtually brand new cover from a chap on Talkbass who had a newish one spare. I am aware obviously people will want to haggle as well. The corners on the cabinet at the moment are actually fine, apart from a few minor scuffs on the bottom ones, but I’m a perfectionist so I bought 8 spare. I am looking for £610 (reduced again) ONO. These retail at £929 with a cover. I have had a few people very interested in it already. If it does not go for the price I would like, I would still be very happy to keep it as it is a fantastic piece of bass equipment. www.bergantino.com Link: [url="http://www.bergantino.com/images/hs410h_web.jpg"]http://www.bergantino.com/images/hs410h_web.jpg[/url] I am based in NE Lincs, not far from Hull or Sheffield. Not that far from Leeds as well. I dont mind meeting half way for a contribution to fuel. If it helps the cab can be in London from Jan 10th onwards. Payment via cash, or bank transfer. SOLD! Thanks

[quote name='Bass Culture' post='675062' date='Dec 5 2009, 04:35 PM']Thanks - since picking this up and using it regularly my mission has been to find one of the Class D/Lightweights that gives me something like the tone of the Trace, it sounds that great. Anyway, I'm hoping the Rebelhead, with it's four band semi-parametric EQ, is going to be the answer.[/quote] I'm doing the same and going for the rh! I'm very excited! -
[quote name='danny-79' post='669206' date='Nov 29 2009, 04:26 PM']the dunlop ones i mentioned work the same as the bottle washer (twist it on an twist it off) (just a posh version of washer i guess) have a look for em next time you in a music shop, most places stock them ive got a couple kicking about somware just not needed them since got planetwaves strap[/quote] Thanks will do!
