Andy's work on this is truly impressive. The colour and finish of that top wood look even better in the flesh

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1465158057' post='3065741'] All of this and more is exactly why I don't come on here anymore [/quote] Which is a shame. I find it quite depressing that a few forum users can spoil it for some. Fortunately, the clued up, informative and helpful posters far outweigh the more tedious ones.

I've had a few Class D little amps, the Fusion 500 is my favourite. I love the versatile eq, the effortless volume and the way it drives the cabs that I've paired it with. The pre-amp does a convincing valve tone. I've have played through an MB but only at home volume, great little amp though.

It was a great way to spend the day. A big well done to team Mick, Chris, Lozz and co. Really enjoyed catching up with the BC'ers that I already knew and meeting some for the first time. Looking forward to doing it again next year.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1465117360' post='3065326'] Maybe it's like a decibel meter but works on how many notes per minute you play - too many slapped notes and it slaps your wrist, saying 'enough is enough my friend, I'm turning myself off until you calm down a little' [/quote] This would be a welcome feature.

Just waiting for my wife to load the car and then I'll be on my way

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1465107599' post='3065264'] Looks great, the case is really classy as well... Beats the rubbish nylon bags all my amps have come with. Looking forward to hearing it at the bash How heavy is it? I've been trying to justify a Glock BAC to myself all week for gigs where I get a lift and that's 17kg... [/quote] It's much lighter than the Glock, comes in at about 7.5kg. Look forward to meeting you Rob

Interesting to read the back story Hope you enjoy it, they do make great instruments.

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1465023700' post='3064669'] I'm out I'm afraid, weekend shifts mean alternative plans dammit! Somebody please take pics of Greeks new toy as I'm dying to see how it looks!!!! [/quote] I'm sure Silvia will be on the case. That girl is very good with a camera

A most enjoyable viewing experience. Very much looking forward to next weeks episode.

No worries and thanks

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1464972644' post='3064323'] I can't believe yours has got lights. I'm insanely jealous. :-( Nice case, too - that's probably similar to what I'll be going for, to match my cab. Did it come with a soft case? [/quote] No soft case but lots of loverly blue lights

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1464972153' post='3064318'] That's a serious case! Looks great. [/quote][quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464972142' post='3064317'] Look forward to hearing about this... first impression: Great that it comes complete with its own flightcase. [/quote] It really offers proper protection and has a reassuring industrial feel to it.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1464970845' post='3064304'] Is this valve front and digi back? [/quote] Yes the pre features 3 x 12AX7's ECC83

Although WOT already has a thread on the same model, I've decided to start another, I think another thread is relevant as I'm sure our experiences will differ, as we use different instruments and cabs . This was posted from Poland on Monday and arrived safe and sound at my place on Thursday morning. [url="https://flic.kr/p/GQXvLD"][/url] My first view of it [url="https://flic.kr/p/HHB1wd"][/url] As you can see the case is a substantial affair, offering a good level of protection. [url="https://flic.kr/p/GQRfby"][/url] The one I have has the same colour fascia as WOT's but with the addition of some very pleasing blue lights. [url="https://flic.kr/p/HHAUbN"][/url] To me it's a lovely looking amp and I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces. My first impression was that the controls were somewhat lacking but I was wrong. The simplicity allows for easily achieving a rewarding tone. So far I've only been able to play it at lounge friendly volume at home but I have to say even on a low volume setting it is impressive. I will report back once I've actually gigged with the amp but meanwhile I will take it to the Herts Bash on Sunday, along with a Barefaced Big Baby 2. If anyone wants to bring along their own cabs to give it a blast through, then please do. That's it for now.

Impressive work. The end result was great, just needs a proper 60's tort guard.

I'm sure the Seahhorses bass man is a Bass Chatter, may be he will be along to help out.

I've just taken delivery of this Handbox 400 and will be bringing it along for Bass Chatters to road test. So far, I've only played it at neigbour friendly volume, so I'm really looking forward to Sunday, when we can give it a proper blast I'll have it hooked up to my Barefaced Big Baby 2 but if any of you would like to try it with your own cabs, then please bring them along.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1464876627' post='3063417'] Fab! As it happens, the postman has just been here too. And left me one of these... What a beast... I'll use it on Saturday night. [/quote] Wow, that is a fine looking amp

Great, you are going to be very chuffed with it.
