OK - the new (silver) unit is now on-hold/pending. I've found both units to be as per previous, older EA heads and Combo's I've used in the past. Clean sound. The uprated Micro has plenty of kick - quite remarkable for such a tiny, compact unit. I'll probably keep the original unit, although I'm intrigued by BB2k's advice. It appears to make sense - but I wonder (a) why EA themselves suggested the use of such a Convertor, and ( why it (and a previous 110v head) have worked fine with a 'small' convertor. I sourced the 250-300 (type) models and they seem to be bigger than the amp !! .. the type of thing you might expect to use with some serious, industrial machinery. I've not investigated the EA internal 110/220 switch (which worked/works fine on mine - but apparently not on some others) but it's got to be a lot smaller than the external unit I'm currently using (?).

[quote name='walbassist' post='706726' date='Jan 9 2010, 04:46 PM']Very interested in the new one, but why are you selling?[/quote] Only need one and happy with both units (now realising that I don't really need/use the additional power of the 550) so don't mind which sells.

Well, as you've started it might be best to finish .... could you explain please? I'm not sure of what problem this might present and have no idea of the difference between an autotransformer and an isolating transformer...... I've used it for ages without issue or problem and have used a similar unit in the past with a 110v Head I brought back from abroad. I'm assuming others might also have been doing and continue to do the same. It's also what EA advised when I contacted them about the best/safest interim measure (until the new Micro evolved) with the original Micro internal 110/220v switch - although my unit did work fine with the internal auto-switch.

Not sure - it's not stated on the unit. I've used it throughout the past year or more without any problem. I'm assuming it must be more effective (and safe) than the internal unit which did work effectively on this particular amp but which was reported as having some problems.

Looking to sell one of my mini Cabs........ Details:- [b]Schroeder 12R[/b]. 12" woofer with 150w super-tweeter. Fast attack, smooth sound and excellent low-end handling. 1/4" + speakon in/out. 40hz - 20kHz. 8 ohm / 300w. 33lbs. 16" cube. This is one of the older Schroeder 12's and not sure if it's an L or an R (though it is labelled as an R) - there's a link (below) to the Shroeder website but I'm convinced that some of the specs. are somewhat exaggerated. I'm told that the older cabs are much better than the new ones (and this one certainly performs well and is in excellent all-round condition). But it's not a 400/500w cab and is heavier than the current (or even the claimed older) models. It handles lower frequencies and volume slightly better than the EA-Wz … but it is a bigger unit overall and has a bigger, heavier speaker.

Looking to sell one of my EA Micro head(s) as I don't need both and, although I bought the new version to replace the old one, I don't really need the additional power - and would be happy to keep either. Details and link to the EA site are below. The new (silver) model is UK (220v) version (although I think it can be internally adjusted to suit 110v, if required). The original (black) model was designed with a magic switching sytem, so it could be used anywhere (in the world). Mine always worked with this feature .. but having read that some were failing, I bought a 110/220 convertor (about the size of a std. multi-plug) and have used it with this since. You could risk the original 110/220 (internal) switching.. but it'll be sold with the external convertor and I'd advise its use (just in case .. better safe than sorry .. etc.). The new one still has its original box and packaging and has hardly been used. The original (black) one is also in excellent/mint condition. I also have a 'World Tour' mini-bag which fits either perfectly and includes a side-pocket (useful for the power/speakon lead/s and for the Convertor plug with the black EA Micro).@ [b]£22 (incl.)[/b] BassDirect do now have the (new) Micro @ £559 (Special Offer/incl. shipping). They also do a bag for the Micro for £52 (incl. shipping) Details:- [b]Euphonic Audio I AMP 300 Micro (BLACK)[/b] US made, EA iAMP Micro 300 - a revolutionary, c. 3 pound, 300 watt, dual channel, Class D, musical instrument amplifier.

... quite a few ebay 'Watchers' - only 24 hours to run ! ....

Beautiful example of a great bass - I've not owned one of these (yet .. give it time!) but those I've tried have been just great. A friend of mine in the States has a handful of these (along with a number of unique Marleaux, Ritter and other 50+ instruments) - some of the first built by Michael T .... he tells me (repeatedly!) that they're not going anywhere !!....

... I've currently got this bass on ebay (ends Sunday evening) so will be happy to offer at the same (start) price (fully inclusive) to BC'ers throughout this period !! :- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160391890661&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT[/url]

... I've currently got this bass on ebay (ends Sunday evening) so will be happy to offer at the same (start) price (fully inclusive) to BC'ers throughout this period !! :-

[b]£299 [/b]inclusive !! That's £200 below the current ebay price (same seller - selling a range of LH basses from £499 - £899) .. and £250 off the rrp of £549 !! ... be Quick !!!

Is this a 'Modulus (VJ) Jazz' ?... with a lot of changes in spec. OR a Jazz body (origin?) + various parts with a Modulus graphite neck? I don't think Modulus offer this colour on the VJ range + the pickups, bridge, EQ etc. are not as offered by Modulus.

Is it the photo(s)/my eyesight ?... or is that an unusual(ly) long, thin Jazz body ??

2010 BUMP - offers invited (PM) based on OP................

Bump'in back to page#1 ... and to confirm that this IS an excellent FL 4. I bought this new from Godlyke so dub_j' is only the 2nd owner and, from the photos, has taken great care. Also an excellent/recommended BC'er with whom to deal. It's a real shame that these excellent basses are no longer being produced - you won't find another one like this (the Deity is top-of-the-range) or another bass of this quality for the ££.

final bump(s) of the decade ...

Picked up in a local deal and haven't been able to find-out much about them thus far, but seems a decent quality MM Stingray copy. It was quite dirty and poorly set-up when I first received it, but it's been dismantled, cleaned-and-checked, carefully reassembled and it's now nicely set-up and is in good-to-excellent overall condition. The burst finish is pretty nice and the neck profile seems right: it also has (I think) an ebony fretboard ! The pickguard doesn't fit perfectly in all places and there are a few cracks in it - but it should be easy to source an alternative (might need adapting slightly) if you don't like the clear/frosted effect. I'll post a range of pictures. There's also (now) a gig-bag with it. Found the following links for the Aslin Dane (general) brand but still not sure where these are made and when .. and (possibly) what happened to them (?). The Dk. link seems to list the bass at = £495 which seems ludicrously high, but I'm not sure of instrument costs in Dk. and this does compare well with other MM-Sr clones I've seen.

If changed to R'wounds then the bass will sound as per the vidz. Was interested to try this new/concept bass with a radical new design and the new pickups but find I'm not using it. Not sure if (yet) available in UK, other than on ebay (?) where prices seem to go from £499 (for this model) through £699 ('L' version, which is the same but s/burst) £799 (neck-thru / 2-Pup) to £899 (LE NT/2-Pup in stealth black finish). £275... final reduction to [b]£249[/b]
