    It's heavy. 'nuff said me thinks. Anyone that wants 300 valve watts knows the deal.
  3. Sparky Mark
    Apparently, the BTA 300 was a featherweight 33.5 kg.

    I suggest you add "SOLD" to the thread title per site guidance.

    Well, you could if you wanted to destroy your LM3. Otherwise do what the Markbass website instructs and only go down to a 4 ohm load by using one 4 ohm cabinet or two 8ohm cabinets.

    I'm so glad you live at the edge of civilisation as I want to buy most of the gear you're posting lately type bump.
  7. Sparky Mark
    👍. Someone will get a fantastic bargain here and the 4 or 8 ohm output makes it more practical than the Ampeg SVT CL which has 4 or 2 ohm. (I know many say you can run CLs into 8 ohms but I'd be apprehensive).

    How many of these were made and shipped? You missed a number from the original post.

    Location?
  11. Sparky Mark
    Where?

    I believe that you can buy direct from Bergantino in the UK. Contact Jim through his website to find out the details. Although not cheap you should avoid the UK distributer/dealer mark up.

    And she would know. 😊

    I don't know whether Jim follows Basschat but he is very protective of his brand and would be very disappointed with the above. I have had communications with Jim in the past and although he can come across a little terse on occaision, he obviously cares enormously about his product and customer service levels. (Ref: Talkbass). As we all know, speakers tend to be the element that breaks when we over step the mark with our volume/EQ settings and Jim must get loads of requests for 'help' with damaged out of warranty cabs and he has to draw the line somewhere I guess.
  15. Sparky Mark
    Absolutely. The 30hz is for cutting only if you follow TE advice and probably the 40hz too. Other than that your EQ settings look fine.

    The lead bassline sounds heavily processed with compression and a modulation effect (phase/chorus/flanger?) so I don't think you will achieve it with your amp alone. I have an Ibanez SR1200 (4 string) which I would only use in passive mode if the battery failed. The 3 band (with selectable mid frequency) active EQ will give you way more options including more low and top end (cut/boost) shaping than in passive mode. Nathan's bass is more than likely in active mode too.

    What does the extra push button do please?

    I prefer the flexibilty (and easier carry) of two single 12 cabs. Also, assuming they are 8 ohms each you will get maximum output from your head. Although a 4 ohm two 12 cab will also do that you can't chop it in half for small gigs or practice. A two 12 might be harder to sell when the time comes as single 12s seem more common/popular.

    So nearly 6 months on the majority of Basschatters posting for sale ads still don't state a location. Isn't it a no-brainer that prospective buyers may want to try before buying?
  22. Sparky Mark
    Two questions:- Why the massive font? Where?
  23. Sparky Mark
    There's nothing odd going on here at all. In the good old days you probably would have just destroyed your speaker(s) with way too much deep bass at volume. You may also have had a knackered head too but modern heads have clever stuff in them nowadays to compensate for our incompetence and turn the power amp output off when it senses a dangerous load both for itself and any connected cabs. Octavers are good but be aware of the extra stress you are placing on the speakers and the extra power output from your amp at low frequencies you might not even hear.
  24. Sparky Mark
    I had the next generation ( I think) of this head called the Stingray. I don't remember it as being very good, but neither was I, but I still wouldn't bother with these at any price.

    I got into lightweight with a pair of Bergantino AE112 cabs which were a breeze to load in and out. I dragged my older heavier HT112ER and EX112ER cabs out from under the stairs to sell them but decided to gig them one last time just to be sure. There was no comparison when it came to the depth and quality of tone the older cabs produced and the AEs were traded soon after. That may have nothing to do with neo or weight but newer isn't always better in my own experience.
