[quote name='molan' timestamp='1376155672' post='2170365'] I really like it a lot - it's just a question of whether I can justify having two rigs as it's not really suited to home practice and small rehearsals [/quote]

Thanks for all your input people. This is really useful info but I still can't decide! There are elements of both I really like. I'd love an amp/cab combination that will do subtle clarity at lower levels up to really punch you in the guts at higher volume while still maintaining complete composure. I have no objections to trying to liquidise the crowds internal organs. In fact I demand it! haha. I may have to buy both heads and sell one on if I survive the next three months eating food I find on the street. A straight-up shootout in practice and gig situations would be ideal. Trouble is I have no cabs either yet. I do like having both my kidneys. . . Must admit I do like the idea of the Ag750 with a 4ohm GS410. That cab goes down to 40Hz. My old ebs set started to roll off at about 70hz-100hz. Also noticed the 750 has a power amp input so another pre for tone shaping is not out of the question if I felt there was something lacking. To be honest the Stage II is such a tone chameleon I'm not sure it needs tons of eq. I always played with the Fafner's eq settings because eq'd flat it sounded pretty thin. As I type this I sway towards the 750 but the EBS has been a good friend and I know it well. Thinking about it I always rolled back the top end of the Fafner and still wanted to turn the tweeters off on the cabs for dub stuff. If the 750 has more low end presence, less treble presence and more headroom. . .that may be it for me.

Hi all, Looking for your opinions on which head to go for. Both second hand options; db750 or Fafner blue stripe. Will decide on cabs after getting the head but suggestions are welcome! I have owned (and sold last year to help finance my woodwork business) an EBS Fafner grey stripe with 2 210 evolution cabs (no tweeter control) Which I owned for 10 years. Loved the sound and tone variety but a bit low end shy. Maybe it was the cabs. Sometimes would have liked to turn the tweeters off as well. The grey stripe was a little unreliable. All the classic problems I have read from other owners of early models. Power switch failure / scratchy pots. My playing is pretty varied. Influences include but not limited to; Robbie Shakespeare, Paul Jackson, Pino Paladino, Larry Graham, George Porter, Stuart Zender . . . It could go on and on. Mostly Jazz Funk & Dub Reggae. My weapon of choice is a Warwick Streamer Stage II 4. So very familiar with the Fafner, Heard the 750s smooth powerful tone but not with a Warwick. Any input would be much appreciated. D
