I managed to get mine all set up today and have a bit of time playing and I am very very happy. Not sure if it has been designed this way but my Fender Jazz and Precision both sound amazing but my Warwick's needs a little more setting up with the EQ. Not sure if its because of the more vintage tuned speaker or just one of those things but either way, the passive Fender's sound amazing, especially the Jazz. As expected. the sound is very warm and vintage but there is scope to dial in pretty much any tone. It reminds of an old school amp rather than one of these clean and thin sounding modern Class D mini amps. Its nice and its very full and warm. Another thing is its very very loud. Boy is it loud. I set it up next to my MarkBass 121H combo and the comparision is quite amazing. On the Reidmar and the MarkBass combo, the passive Fenders start to clip at around 2 o clock so for this exercise, I dropped it down to 12 o clock on both heads. I then set the volume at 9 o clock on both amps and the Reidmar was uncomfortably much louder than my MarkBass combo. Taking into acount that the MarkBass was running at 300 watts at 8 ohms and the Reidmar is 125 watts at 8 ohms, the difference in volume was very noticable.

[quote name='Soliloquy' timestamp='1326631860' post='1499671'] I just ordered a Classic1x12 from Effects power supplies. They seem to be the only dealer with any cabs in stock at the moment. I got the Reidmar head from them and was very pleased with their service. [/quote] You are lucky to get that. They had two left last Thursday and said they would not be getting any for a good few weeks. I bought one and i could not decide to buy the other but decided to wait

It's a musical instrument. You have managed to learn the bass guitar and the double bass is a similar beast just requiring a new approach and technique. Like the bass guitar you should be fine if you apply some time and dedication to it. Its not like its a totally different instrument like saxaphone or flute. Go for it and let us know how you get on.

Thats not good, glad to see its being reported. Just out of interest, as we have been scammed, can we go back to the old forum now :)

[quote name='sunsse' timestamp='1326467593' post='1497650'] I really wish EBS would make an AMP bag for the Reidmar. I hate having to babysit my amp each time i gig. Is anyone here familiar with an existing amp bag that fits with the Reidmar's dimensions? [/quote] I have been told that mark at Bass Direct can help here. I think the medium skinz bag is perfect for the Reidmar.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1326451951' post='1497318'] There is only one reason this thread gets any people to check in... and it isn't the amp [/quote] HAHAHA I can spice it up with some other nice pictures of Swedish girls if it helps sell more EBS stuff

Sorry guys, the blonde is already taken ..... by me You can have the beer though.

Stunning. If I won the lottery, this is something I would look at buying.

[quote name='sunsse' timestamp='1326382609' post='1496451'] i bought mine 3 weeks ago along with a ClassicLine 410, I haven't heard it with a Classic 112 that most of you guys use with it though. Before i got the Reidmar, I played a Markbass LM II amp playing through a MarkBass Traveler 115 and a MarkBass Traveler 210 stack. I hated my MB stack in live situations but loved it at home, I spent most of my time on stage turning knobs trying to get a tone i liked through the Littlemark, eventually i got sick of it and went to the store where they had just got the new EBS amp in stock a couple days before. I'm digging my new live tone and so is the band. [/quote] Awsome stuff. Nice happy story. I can't wait to try mine live.

Hello Ralf, thanks for the advice, as you can see we have now bought our Reidmar and Classic 112's. As we have been so loyal, can you send us some beer drinking Swedish girls to keep us amused. Something like this [IMG]http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/masonq3030/Swedish_Women_Photos_beer.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1326371018' post='1496117'] I think its some kind of Norse dragon pattern that was painted on the Viking ships. Reidmar was a bloke well known in Norse history and I think they named a massive Viking ship in his honour. (gosh...I sound like a geek!) [/quote] No thats great, I love dragons so having dragons and Viking long boats on my amp is uber cool.

Out of interest, what is the pattern on the front above the dials? Is it dragons or snakes or something else?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1326369300' post='1496075'] What was up with it? Have you replaced the unit or was it a connection issue? I'm tempted just to bite the bullet and order one... if just to add to my ever expanding collection of EBS amps! [/quote] Just a tight connection but all fine and working ok.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1326366121' post='1496000'] [sub]Any news?[/sub] [/quote] Yep, just ordered a Classic 112 which should arrive on Tuesday/Wednesday. Very excited and can't wait. The very quick go I did have of the Reidmar through a Genz Benz cab showed it has tones of scope tonally and is also very loud

Yes all my songs I have written started on bass.

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1326237717' post='1494467'] The speakon out on my amp is quite tight and took a bit of effort to make sure it clicked in. Check that. Other than that, I can't think what could be causing the problem. If you still get no joy contact Mark tomorrow to explan whats happening [/quote] Yes, mine is also very tight but is working fine..

Well, good news, is I got my Reidmar today. It looks ace.

[indent=1]Good job Machines. At this rate we will need a EBS Reidmar club [/indent]

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1326204944' post='1493745'] Well, you never know...EBS might inject more investment into that corner of the market, but as you said (and I totally agree) the HD, TD and Fafner heads are very much revered as some of the best high powered amp heads available and will certainly continue to be their bread and butter. They did launch the Reidmar very softly and I have seen very little advertising for this amp before and after it came onto the market, so that could suggest that their business focus is still very much based on their other products. If you are looking for a well protected case for the Reidmar give Mark @ Bass Direct a call and ask him about the Gig Skinz bags. The medium size is a perfect fit for this amp and is incredibly well padded. Lots of extra pockets to carry other stuff too. Mark sold me one early last year for my Markbass LMIII and I now use it for the Reidmar. Tidy! [/quote] Thanks shizznit, I may drive up to Bass Direct at the weekend with the Reidmar to try cabs and pick up a Classic 112 so I will look at those Gig Skinz bag also. Will also try an NS NXT double bass so I can see this trip becoming costly

To be honest, I am not bothered about it not being rack mounted. Its just that I am touring soon and wanted to know if i should get a rack case or some other means to store and protect on tour Personally I am happier its not rackable as that means its smaller and I am not keen on racks anyway The only other thing EBS said to me is they are considering making a combo using the Reidmar head,
