    Club Bergantino! Let's See Those Rigs!

    Measuring from the 12th fret the neck pickup is 10.5"(on center of the pair) and from the 12th to the bridge pickup 13.5" (on center of the pair). To be precise it's narrower than the aperture of a Jazz bass by .0625" and 1/16 (.0625) short from a stingray but sonically about the same. A...

    It's an homage. The metal control plate has a jazz bass cut at the top of it where it ties into the pickgaurd. Instead of a jazz bass straight plate it's a precision curved plate made from a repro late 50's pickgaurd. That plate has switches and knob placement reminiscent of G&L. The pickups...

    Agreed. It’s a monster sound. Versatile. I had to make that one out of an already modified 62 Precision. And yes it is a Glenda. Part precision, new and original, part jazz bass, part stingray and part G&L. the homage.

    Not much warning. Power dipped several times then surged and it was toast.

    New rig after my last stuff was destroyed by bad power. Works with every size gig I've done with it. Modular, loud and clear, light and compact for how big it sounds. Hope I can keep this one going for years. It's a swiss army knife rig. Thanks for all you do Jim Bergantino and Tom Bowlus!

    I didn't intend on making a habit of it.

    Good summary. And I fully intend on getting that 115 as soon as I can to mix and match whenever somebody buys some of the gear I have up for sale. That whole rig has clarity, definition, controllable low end and overall precision that I haven’t had before. So much so that all the preamping...

    Double Bass Looking for a Double Bass to lease in the Bahamas

    Playing a gig at the Atlantis Resort in Bahamas late this year. Its a one off. I'd rather not fly a double bass down there for just one job. I can certainly fly a Fender Bass but I was hoping to lease one. Is that even possible?

    Ampeg SVT and 410HE replacement drivers

    Got a set of the Heritage 10's for the Ampeg 410HE. The part number above is correct. The Heritage 10's are indeed a different thing than the regular 10's. Not by much to look side by side in the raw, but in the cab they sound significantly better than the mid 2003 Eminence they replaced...

    Ampeg SVT and 410HE replacement drivers

    Eminence makes the same part number in both China and the USA? How do you tell the difference to whomever you order from? ...or are the heritage drivers that much better?

    Ampeg SVT and 410HE replacement drivers

    Reading a bunch of threads here and I still can't sort this out. The typical 10" driver for quite some time has been an Eminence made 86-032-01 32ohm 10". Eminence makes the Legend B810 as well. It appears that the drivers in the Heritage SVT are something yet again different. Does anyone have...
