So after considering returning the 112 V-T combo, I am going to keep it. I’m still in the return window until Friday. I bought this a day before the new cabs were announced. It sounds so damn good. It has a deep bass response that my Berg HT112 doesn’t have. Those old cabs are the OG boutique...

Ha, I had a feeling a new cab would drop as soon as I ordered a new combo. Let’s pull out the ol’ calculator… the TV 112 is 24 Lbs and the new ULV is 19.5. So the combos are 27 and 22.5lbs. Is 4 1/2lbs worth it? My combo arrives tomorrow and I could easily return it and wait. I do like the idea...

I’m pretty excited to get the new combo. I have owned the BA since those things came out and have gigged it countless times. My wife actually got it for me for Christmas, and the front array was bent. Jeff called me back the next day and sent a replacement cab out before I had to send the...

Y’all. My wife stole my BA combo. I made the mistake of saying. “Hey, let’s plug your cello into this…” So, I called Gollihur and ordered a MG12VT combo today. That will teach her.

Yeah, I did it really fast so there was plenty of room for error on my part. Willcutt guitars has a fretted one in stock and it’s 9.75. I bought mine there in person long enough ago that the old post with the weight is long gone. They took a pretty good percentage off for me too. It was really...

You made me go to the bathroom… scale. 9.3lbs. I guess that can be considered heavy. I like the sound of heavier basses typically.

Must be the frets :) My fretless is very manageable. I haven’t weighed it, though. It’s definitely lighter than my all maple buzz.

So when I said I would eventually try flats (a couple posts ago) I guess I meant about a week later. I really did like rounds on this bass but flats are my happy place. I put on the lightest gauge Cobalts. I usually use a heavier gauge but I decided to stick close to what came on the bass. They...

As far as worrying about the rosewood and rounds, I think people need to be honest about their playing style. If you’re the type of player who constantly bottoms out the strings into the fingerboard with your right hand, obviously rounds are going to dig out rosewood much faster than ebony. Same...

Getting to know some of it’s teammates. Really great bass. Took it out on a gig the day after buying it, and it sounded and felt amazing. I never would have guessed I liked rosewood with rounds. I have always been an ebony with flats guy. Guess that’s the double bass player in me. I imagine I’ll...

I’m definitely interested in hearing more about this. Octave up is very important to me. I have to play a lot of melody lines in a quartet and it’s nice to kick octave up on to cut. I currently use the OC-5. This is by far my favorite right now. It has the least synthetic digital attack. I dirty...

It’s hard to walk around in there, huh? Every square inch has something going on. I loved his old apothecary cabinet behind his station that holds various parts. He didn’t point that out, but my wife knew what it was. That’s awesome you got to go there. Hopefully you have a little bit more time...

Thanks for posting this @SLO Surfer. This all seems reasonable for getting caught up over the next couple years. Glad the truss notch is still available. Kinda wish mine had that.

Go here: https://english.visitseoul.net/shopping/Nagwon-Instrument-Arcade_/9722 The main dealer is called Werock I think. He didn’t have any in stock when I was there months ago. I found mine at another all bass boutique shop there. Just walk around and you’ll find the couple of bass shops...

Congrats as well! I hope you are as done looking for the right P for you as I am!
