Details of the Compact please! Interested.

Glad I didn't buy one then - the swines! I wonder how many they sold on the basis that they lied about the weight?!

I always wondered about the weight of these, Ashdown list them as 9kg, which is what the Barefaced Midget weighs. Is it really 15kg?!

Bump and a price drop!

I can now sort out postage for this for anybody interested. I had a few PMs from people that were interested in having it sent but unfortunately they have disappeared from my PM box for some reason, so apologies.

Put down a deposit today!

No, I bought it from this very forum 2 or 2 weeks ago. It's a great amp, but I want the same light weight with a more tubey sound and no tweeter so am going for a Genz Streamliner and Barefaced Midget!

This combo has seen very little use and looks brand new. No pics yet but looks exactly like the stock pics! Amazingly light and loud - weighs 26.8lbs in total but you can unscrew the head and place it in your gig bag, leaving you with a super light cab that you can hand carry on public transport without breaking a sweat. LOADS of volume on tap from the 500W head and the speaker handles it well, plenty of grunt for small gigs (and larger ones with PA support). These are now discontinued and have been replaced by heavier lower powered models with fewer features! £400, can arrange a courier also as I have the original box.

Eminence are fitted as a special order with an up-charge. The money you are asking for the quality of the rig means someone is going to get very good value. I can't see this hanging around for long.[/quote] Hear that people, grab a bargain! I did snap up both the head and cab for a good price on BC, so just selling for the same amount I paid.

Indeed, but I'm afraid this is now sold!

It has 'tighter' more controlled lows, meaning it doesn't extend as deep as ported cabs, but has plenty of punch. Think more classic bass tone, like the sealed Ampeg 8x10. Still lots of energy down low where it counts in the 60Hz region! There is no tweeter so it has a nice smooth top end, which sounds GREAT with fuzz and distortion feeding it. Also, the drivers in sealed cabs are usually more consistent in their impedance rating throughout the frequency range, whereas the drivers used in ported cabs tend to have a big peak in impedance at a certain frequency. Valve amps are designed to work best with a constant impedance load, hence valve heads usually being 'happier' when hooked up to sealed cabs. Solid state and hybrid amps aren't so fussy and work well with both types of cab.
