Glad you laid off the Advil. The possibility of Dialysis is something to be avoided at all cost.

Well then all you missed out on was a free mortgage payment or two if you'd held onto it a little longer!
Like I said, I'm full of stupid.......
That CP Bird is a great sounding bass. Good player too.
Alright, your Grace... Lol, we'll sit down over a few and compare notes someday. You'll feel better in no time!!Like I said, I'm full of stupid.......

Not that it's a contest, but yeah.......How much time/space do we have here.

Glad you got to play out!
I had SWR 350 years ago. I liked it but with my cabs at the time it was too glassy sounding and harsh sounding. But I wouldn't mind playing one again.
Don't know how different the red face might be, but with the Goliath-II I'm getting a nice hefty, punchy bloom out of mine.
Cabs are a huge difference though.
I saw that. Didn't knock me out, but it's cool. Maybe it's the automotive vibe... I'm not a car guy...
I hear you. I'm kind of to the point now that I think it's safe to say cabs may have more impact on tone than a head. I like a big sound and one speaker will work, but doesn't really cut it for me, so I'll likely never buy a single driver cab again.

I'm kinda wanting one of those to go with my SWR cab........ As if I don't already have too many other things to spend money on...

I’d imagine they’ve changed a lot in the last 350 years.
Lots of Berg love here. I’ll be buried with my HT322.
Specifically the corner of 1st and Berry from the looks of it.
Cool pic by the way, would make a great album cover.

I’ve been running a Berg HDN212 for a couple months. It’s a really nice cab, especially on upright, though I find it a tiny bit shy in the deep lows, but that could be the new Mesa TT800 amp. I have tomorrow off, so maybe I’ll drag the rig into the house and a/b the TT800 vs my Mesa M9 through the Berg
I haven’t tried the Berg 212 or the Mesa amps so can’t really comment on that mix. However, I own a HT322 that is probably the best medium sized stage amp I’ve ever heard (unfortunately a horrible form factor, a real PITA to move). I also own a Berg NV610 that walked all over my ampeg fridge and is still the best big rig cab I’ve owned, plus unlike the 322 it’s in a fantastic easy load in/out form factor. A Berg that I almost bought and am still kicking myself for passing on is the NV215, possibly the best sounding big rig I’ve ever played through (paired it with an Aggie DB750 head, also tried it with an Ampeg SVT VR, and a Carvin B1500). Oh what I’d give to be on stage with a NV215 located stage right and one on stage left, better be a big venue.
I’d imagine you have a real challenge finding the best rig to handle both upright bass and humbucker equipped bass guitars in any given set. I don’t know much about upright amplification, cabs or signal chains but it seems like they might have very different needs from your Tbirds.
Fwiw, I heard a phone recording of us at that marina gig from across the yard, and the bass sounds came through solid and punchy. I really like what that little rig does.
It's an 8 ohm cab, so I used a
Great photo, nice comp.
