throwoff Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Thats an amazing colour. Love the fingerboard figuring as well Only one thing I dont like - Pickups! I dont like writing on them :S still a gorgeous example though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I like Bernie pickups with the GB logo on them, like these... They're pretty cool. Not keen on these with the name printed across them though. Love the colour on this bass though. Real deep aqua like. Very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice[/quote] Thanks for the couler of my bass i no what you mean about the pickups i have recently had the bass over hauled by bernie up graded the electrics and had a new hipshot bridge fitted and a reset of the neck along with new control nobs i also prefere the pickup covers with the gb logo on them and i can and propobly will have them changed in the futre as i matter of interest i see you have an EBS Neo 2x12 i currently are looking at going over to ebs cabs from my aquilars how do you find them with the preamp on bernies basses can they handle the bottom end that his basses can deliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I find the EBS cabs handle the bottom end very very well. My 212 handles more than enough bottom end without loosing definition. I find the EBS cabs handlethe top end better than ANY others in my experience. The tweeters on the NEO range are fantastic and they love that 'Bernie ping' at the top. The cabs are a little mid shy though, which I find conpliments the GB, but I end up EQ'ing in a little mid back in with my Roscoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastie Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 thanks for that iam going to arrange to go down to bernies only an hour from me and try out the neos why did you opt for the 1x15 to go with the 2x12 i wonder what two 2x12 neo would sound like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Actually, I wanted a second 212. The honest reason I got a 115 was because I got it uber cheap from a friend who was selling off his second rig and I paid next to nothing for it. I actually played through just the 115 the other day though and was very impressed by it's top end response thanks to the tweeter and huge bottom. In honesty it's still a suitable stand alone can. None of this '15's are really bottomy' rubbish!. I'd part with the 115 for another 212 though, just for the sake of matching them up!

beastie Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 when i first stated playing 30+ years ago there was not much chioce of cabs and amps around my first set up was an HH Bass Machine 250 watt head with a 1x15 hh cab and a small carslbro bass combo the 15 inch cabs then where very heavey and very wooley sounding no tweaters then trace elliot got on the seen and then ashdown we all then started to experiment with 4 x10 2x15 2x10 1 x15 12 inch drivers seem to be a bit hit or miss after several set ups i have found that you have more scope with your sound with 12 inch drivers with a tweeter love the sound of 2x12 cabs with tweeter to really get a top quality sound 2x12x2 with tweeters takes some beating one other reason why i asked about your 1x15 cab if the wattage is differant from the 2x12 in past experance i have found that as soon as the lower wattage cab starts to peak it effects the sound from the other cab and can cause conflict i know people say that you should try to match amp output with cabs to drive the speaker but if you are looking for a nice quality claen sound at reasnable sound levels i have found that you need to have loads of head room in both cabs with some power handling i will be changing my aggies for the neo cabs as i also know that bernie seems to set is basses up for the ebs equipment as he will tell you if you are useing something else you are not hearing what his basses are about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supabock Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I think that Bernie's basses have a much wider spectrum of use than just benefiting from being played through EBS gear. The basses are awesome and so is the amplification. I favour the 115 and 210 with hd 350 head. The 15 gives a great piano type tone at the low end and great clarity, and is not at all flappy. I had a 212 on loan from Bernie and that was a little more rounded in its sound, but i found them both similar in the amount of punch. The 15 was the keeper in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the combination of 210 and 115 best suited for me and the size was convenient also. I recommend that you try out this stuff as it is very subjective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 1 of 212 is enough with the Fafner, that's generally what I use. It's 600w and the Fafner pushes much less than that into a 4ohm cab and it's bloody loud with loads of clarity. It's enough to keep up with a full metal band. Have a 2nd 212 is you really need the volume. I found the 212 to sou d clearer and more defined than the 410 anyway. But that's just me. I'd go try them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
