Hey Tom-
I'm glad you are putting all your gear experience into a blog. I just can't believe I'm the first to post a comment. First guy to the party. Well I like hearing your thoughts on gear because of your bass choices. I'm mainly a vintage sort of guy and I had a Gibson Ripper that I loved, but finally sold because i have never gotten comfortable with Gibson necks.
I wouldn't mind hearing you opinions between the two aggie preamps with the 728. I had a 680/728 combo for a while. I sold the 680 and the 728 is still on consignment at Bass Emporium. I'm thinking about taking it off the market and getting another tube pre to match it. I don't really need all the EQ features of the 680 and I would like to find something cheaper and lighter like the 659. Or something completly different.What do you think?

Thanks for posting, John! I really need to get this blog in order, but I'm kind of new to the "blog thing", and I'm rather busy!
So far, I have only gigged out with the 659 into the 728, and I really loved this combination, especially after I played around with the preamp tubes in the 659 and settled on NOS Telefunkens. The mids improved dramatically over the Sovteks that were in it when I bought it (used). I have also driven the 728 directly from my Chandler Tube Drive, and this may be some of the best tube tone I have heard yet! Well, except for the DB 359, which is my current top dawg in the tone department.
Holy crap dude, running out of space indeed! Tell ya what, how about you let me lift a few of those "burdens" from ya... and I won't even charge you! ;)
Hey Tom,
I'm looking for a new pre and I saw that you have a pjb P-1.I would be racking this with a ca-9
push an El Whappo and tri 210L.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
Hey, Vernon, thanks for stopping in!
Yes, the P-1 would pair up fantastically with the CA9. In fact, the CA9 is definitely my preferred amp for driving an El Whappo, and the P-1 is one of the finest preamps I have tried. This would be a killer rig, IMHO.
Tom.
Hi Tom,
First, thanks for all the help you've been to us curious bassists who don't have your gear-acquiring superpowers, both on TB and with your blog - I always appreciate your honest and well-thought observations.
Once you clear some space for more additons to the collective, might I make some selfish suggestions...I'd really like to hear your thoughts on the new Series 2 Epifani UL410 cabs (as I just bought a used SA200, but can't find any SA410 cabs for it anywhere, and I'm wondering how the Epifani would match it). And, I'd LOVE for someone to get their hands on a Phil Jones T-500! I wonder if Phil's loaded one of his folded-horn cabinets with neo-drivers yet (...mmm...folded horns) - that's my money's-no-object dream rig!
Best Wishes,
Brendan (Erkindanger!)
Brendan:
IME, Epifani cabs in general, and especially the UL series, have not sounded their best with tube power. I have not tried the UL2-410 with a tube head, though, so it might be the exception to the rule. But I doubt it.
If you are looking for a substitute for an SA410, then I heartily recommend the Bergantino HS410. I am in love with this cab, and it most definitely excels with tube power.
Tom.
I guess it could go on forever if people asked you to ab all the gear they are interested in.
I am playing an Alembic excel and just got a Schroeder 12+L cab. I am thinking of getting a Markbass LMK II for a DIY portable combo. I notice you dont have any Schroeders (I love this cab) and wonder why, also if you think that combo makes sense. I play rock and like a sound with clear crisp presence, and a lot of low mids for growl.
Cheers,
Fishhed
PS Let me know if you want to sell the markbass...
I have tried and used numerous Schroeder cabs in the past, and they just aren't my thing. That combo may work well for you, though.
Hi Tom,
Wow! You have quite the collection.
I am interested in your two Bag End S18E-C's if you still have them. I already have a M2 integrator so I don't really need that. Would you be willing to ship?
Look forward to hearing back. Thanks.
Tim:
Yes, I would sell them without the ELF processor, and yes, I would ship. Drop me a line at tombowlus@hotmail.com.
Tom.
Hello Tom,
Thanks for the 112 shootout and the Bergantino IP series review. I've been playing solid state for years and got the inkling to run a vintage tube 67' Fender Bassman through my Berg NV610 in an attempt to solve some crazy frequency problems in a particular venue (Nimbus Brew/pub) here in Tucson. I was also trying to avoid having to haul my 100 lb rack setup. A terrible hiss was generated from the head as a result, and at full power there was not enough volume. However, adding my Avalon U5 DI between me and the amp generated a sound I've had been searching for for years. I have no idea why this works, but now I've got the smooth tube sound of the Bassman coupled with the clean control of the U5. Would you have a clue as to why this is working? I mean I only have to turn the volume up on the tube amp to 2, as long as I've got the U5 in line. It's as though the U5 is acting like the amp and the Bassman as a second pre other than the J-Retro on board my Jazz. Almost no hiss is detectable while leaving a huge amount of room to turn up on the Bassman. I'm worried I might hurt the NV610 in some way. That is question number one.
Here's question number two. Although I don't know if I could ever bring myself to sell the Berg NV610, I'm looking to lighten my load. I'll eventually try the IP series, but for now I feel more comfortable tubed, and I feel more in control with old hard wired amps. If something goes wrong and I have to fix something, I feel better when I have at least a fighting chance of understanding the technology - it's the curse of being an engineer by training and electrical/mechanical isn't my specialty. And so, if you have the time I'd like to know what you think about substituting the NV610 with an AE112 and an AE110 or perhaps just two AE112's.
I believe I'd be sacrificing some watt capacity, but I keep thinking these configurations would be an adequate substitute for the NV610 even though the 610 is a sealed/non-tweetered cab. As soon as I plucked the first note through the NV610 I was in awe over its thumpy yet controlled clarity, and I may not want to sacrifice that for the ported/tweetered AE setups that I mentioned.
So there you have it. Any possible help would be forever appreciated as there are no retail berg distributors within 800 miles of me, and I'd like to have a better idea of what to expect before I send cash money into cyberspace. Based on your blogs I trust your ears. Peace.
Hi Tom,
I thought I'd say hello. I've owned a bit of equipment myself and its gratifying to see someone that makes me look like an amateur.
I've recently purchased the Hellborg system and I also own the Heart Core Head and a Quatro from Glockenklang. I am having a little bit of a challenge getting used to the Hellborg stuff. It is distinctive for sure. I haven't played out with it yet, that test will happen at the end of the week.
I notice that you don't own any of the Schroeder cabinets or any Epifini Heads. I'm curious. Do you have any opinions of either.
Also, I notice you own the Glockenklang Tedd. Do you have any opinion of the Uno Deluxe?
Hope all is well.

You have some nice gear, for sure!
As for Schroeder cabs, I have owned some in the past, and I have tried more than a dozen models from Jorg, but they really are not my cup of tea. I prefer a more accurate, clear, full-range tone.
Hello Tom,
Beautiful collection!
I am searching for a super clean Trace Elliot VA400. Or Trace AH500 Series 6 heads. (No SMX) Any thoughts? I have a NEW Marcus Miller M2 preamp and a Crown XTi Amp. Willing to swap.
I think I have owned just about everything cool out there in the last 15 years and I keep going back to my Status basses, Wal, Trace Elliot w/ SWR cabs. (A victim of the Mark King 80's I guess)! lol!
Any ideas? would you part with your VA? Or please keep an eye out for me in your travels for one?
My band is billy's gone... check out billysgone.com if you ever have a moment.
Thank you for your time and all of your information over the years!
Best regards,

Hi Tom
I don't know if you're selling any of your Raven Labs gear but if you are and still have them, I would LOVE to take them off your hands.
Please let me know
edo@edocastro.com
I do still have those units, but I am not looking to get rid of them. Sorry.
Hello Tom,
I came across your blog in my internet search an INTERSOUND IVP and noticed that in a recent posting, you had this item on a gear list for sale. I would like to know how much you want for it and if you would be willing to sell it to me. I am in Montreal, Canada and I realize that a transaction like this might be a hassle. But alas, I can't find this thing anywhere. I have a pay pal account if that helps at all. Please let meknow.
Thank You,
Murray

Hi Tom, Hope you can field another question for me. I am a longtime guitarist/keyboard guy now a new bassist working about every weekend. I have very little experience with bass amplification equip. I have been using a LMII and obviously it's a nice little head, but I recently built one of greenboy's fEarful 15/6 and now a gb 15Sub as well. Both enclosure have Kappalite 3015LF's and wanting more headroom for them just picked up an Ampeg SVP-CL (from "Chef" over at TB., and a used QSC PLX-3402. I just gigged last night with it and was absolutely "plastered" up against it, so really don't have much of an overall opinion yet. Just noticed in your gear listing you have no QSC products. Mind to share your thoughts on the PLX series as far as bass amplification? I do like the LMII alot, but did notice at an outdoor gig I wanted more power avail. How about the newer higher power MBass stuff? Any opinions? Thanks for ay thought you will share. Best...Rob
I owned a PLX 3002 for some time, and did a lot of gigs with it, in fact. But when I started trying some other power amps, I noticed that it was much easier to get what I wanted out of other power amps. My favorite is the Crest CA9, but it is pretty heavy. If you want to go lightweight, I have had better luck with a Stewart World 2.1. In theory, if you gain match the amps, they are supposed to sound the same. But with a variety of bass preamps, I didn't seem to be able to drive the QSC hard enough to make it equal to the Stewart or Crest. So, I stuck with what worked for me and sold the QSC. Now, if I did not have those other amps, I might have looked into some mods to make the QSC work better with my pre's.
Tom.

Hey Tom,
How do the Bergantino AE410's and the HS410's compare when handling tube power?
I'm looking to get a Reeves Custom 225... How would that head pair up with the Bergs? Would you suggest getting the Reeves 410 instead?
I'd REALLY like to get a Sadowsky SA200, but they are impossible to find and very very expensive... I've read that the Reeves is somewhat similar in quality and tone.. What do you think?
All of that will be used with various vintage Fenders in my collection.
I'd very much appreciate the help!
Robby Lattimore
Robby:
The HS410 responds better to an all-tube head and is a better sonic match, IMHO. The HS410 is fairly similar to the Sadowsky SA410, which was designed to be run with tube power. The SA410 is a little tighter in the lows, and the mids seem to growl a bit more. The HS410 is a bit more extended in the low range and a bit smoother through the midrange. Both are great with tube heads, but the HS410 tends to sound better than the SA410 with solid state heads.
Now, that Reeves 4x10 is another excellent option. It does not have a tweeter, but it extends pretty high for just four 10" drivers. It is really tight and full at the same time, and it's a strong performer with tube power. The Reeves C225 has a different tone than the SA200, but it is right up there when it comes to superb clean tube tone. The C225 doesn't really do an overdriven tone (the SA200 can dial in some really nice, but not over the top, grit/grind), but man, its clean tone is soooooo good!
Tom.
Thanks Tom,
After your advice, I'm leaning toward the Reeves C225 and 4x10. But I've heard excellent things about the Berg... So thats still an option.
I'm a hired gun, so I need to have a rig that is great of all kinds of styles (jazz, rock, funk, latin, ballads, the works..). Do you think that rig would be a good all-styles type amp?
Also, do you have any experience with Mike Lull basses? I'm on the hunt for a flawless, immaculately built, passive jazz bass. I have the outboard sadowsky preamp on my pedalboard, and I really love how it sounds with passive pickups. Mike Lull has come up a good bit in my hunting, as Sadowsky only makes active/passive basses, and Lakland USA is way too expensive for me. I'm interested in the V4 or UV4. What do you think?
I definitely appreciate your wisdom. It's been a huge help!
Robby Lattimore
Robby:
I think a Reeves C225 with either the Reeves 410 or an HS410 would be a great, great rig. But do I think that it would be a "do anything Jack of all trades?" I'm not sure. It has full, clean, rich, powerful, articulate tone, and you can dial in various EQ'd versions of that tone. But it isn't going to entirely change its stripes. There are other heads which cover a wider range of tonal palettes, but then again, if you love the compelling sound of tubes, the C225 is one of the best out there.
I do not own any Lull basses (yet!), but he certainly builds a great instrument. If you are looking for a flawless, immaculately built, passive J-bass, I strongly suggest that you also check out Carey Nordstrand (www.nordstrandguitars.com). My passive VJ5 Classic is one of my favorite instruments. But Mike Lull is another excellent choice, for sure.
Tom.
Tom,
I decided to go with a Lull, I'll let you know how it is when I get it!
Amp-wise, I'm looking into the Aguilar DB751 now. What are your thoughts on the amp?
With that head, would you suggest getting a Berg (AE or HS 410) or the Aguilar DB 410? If Berg, which Berg is best?
How does the DB751 compare to the Reeves and or Sadowsky heads? Do you think It would be a better "jack of all trades" rig?
I very very very much appreciate your wisdom!

Tom,
I'm trying to find a Bergantino HT115. Can you help me find one? Would you sell one of yours?
Thanks,

Tom
Looks like you have too much gear. I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to find a Bergantino HT115 cab for a sweet little rig. Would you sell me one of yours?
Thanks,

I actually use both of my HT115's on a fairly regular basis, so I'm sorry but they aren't up for grabs.
Hi Tom, do you still have the Traynor Mono Block B for sale? Thanks, Andre
I am sorry, but no. It has gone on to a new owner.
