Picked up the 210 on Thursday and rocked it at rehearsals on Friday.. Certainly a fatter/warrmer overall sound. I'm very pleased with it. And, I didn't have to run the amp as hard either. So, it's a thumbs up. Thanks for advice fellow bassists!!!
Now, I just need to sort out the amp buzz/him but that's another discussion on here. Managed to find a fella who is local so I'm going to call him tomorrow and arrange a service.. I initially thought I had a ground loop issue but it turns out that it could be something else.. We'll see!!!
Ta!
