    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    Callofcthulhu; I totally get what you're saying. But with that being said. I bought the bass to play it first, and investment second. It is now my bass and I need to get it into the condition where I feel comfortable playing it whether it be on stage or in the studio. I'm not a mirrored p-guard/...

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    Picked up this '78 Mapleglo a few weeks ago. Needs some work but it can be brought back to almost original condition. Cleaned it up and repainted the p-guard and the bridge surround along with shaving off the goofy horns or whatever they where supposed to be. Chrome and bridge cleaned up pretty...

    Club Bergantino! Let's See Those Rigs!

    MTN; I've done the HD112 and HD210 stack(as in my avatar). It worked really well. But I didn't like the weight I had to carry. So I sold it and got a CN112. It wasn't what I was looking for. A bit too thin for my taste. To be honest with my findings, I was using a Mesa WA. Now that I've gone to...

    Club Bergantino! Let's See Those Rigs!

    MTN I use a MB800 with a HD112. Totally love it. And more than enough to get the job done. I use a '84 Ric 4003 and a '63 Kay 5915. It's not lacking in tonal options in the least. My rig has been used for backline many times with a variety of basses from uprights to Fodera. They all sounded...

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    Is a Rickenbacker versatile enough to be your one and only bass? Heck yes. Most versatile bass I've ever owned. I play everything from Folk to Rock on my '84 4003. Warm and fuzzy to super bright with a growl to it. Strung with TI flats, it was my only bass for a couple of years up till a few...

    Club Bergantino! Let's See Those Rigs!

    I have a HD112 and I've tried the CN112. In all fairness to the CN I was using a Mesa WA and I didn't like it near as much as my HD with the Mesa. With that being said I now use a GK MB800 and I believe the CN would play real nice with the MB800. I've had three upright bassists use the MB800 and...

    Chef, I'll be waiting for your review of the 550. That head has always had my attention.

    Club Bergantino! Let's See Those Rigs!

    I don't know what amp the Berg has NOT sounded good with. I've used HD112's with Mesa WA, Ampeg, Traynor, AER and currently the GK MB800. What has really stood out to me is how clear every note is with the Bergs. When running one cab I used to always have a stand to get it up and pointing toward...

    Rod I use TI's as well on my '84 4003. My "G" string did the same thing. It was the nut. The groove was cut too low. All the best.

    Club Bergantino! Let's See Those Rigs!

    I've been tossing around the idea of getting a CN112 to go with my HD112 since I've gone to the MB800. BTW. I love that head. But I think I'll be better off getting the CN212. Keep the HD112 for the smaller gigs and the 212 when more db is needed. By what everyone has said on here I'll get...
