Just got 2 of these last week. I have a super 12 T which is awesome, but I just had to try these. Plus, I wanted to have them to use as PA speakers if needed. Used them two of them for rehearsal with my WTX500, then a gig with wt550, a gig last night with my WT800 and used one of them for rehearsal today with my WT800. Bottom line - They are amazing. I thought my super 12 T was good, these are better! I'm not good with reviews but bottom line is - they are loud, they sound great and detailed. I like a lot of treble in my sound, so I had the horn wide open - sounds wonderful. These are great cabs, expensive, but great! The new covers are a bit fiddly, they have a flap underneath. Thats my only gripe!

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1463923142' post='3054973'] Here's a tip for the WT550. Don't sell yours. You will realise afterwards that it's a great amplifier - even if you do have too many amplifiers already! [/quote] No worries Dan, I love the WT550 I got off you - has done me proud many a gig!

I've been using Eden stuff for over 10 years now and I absolutely love it. I started off with an Eden Nemesis 2x10 combo after trying various amps and cabs and I was blown away by how good it sounded. I still get asked about "that great sounding combo" from bassists and guitarists alike. I now gig with a WT800 but also have a WT550 and also have a WTX500. People seem to love their 550s but I've read that people think the WTX500 is underpowered. I disagree, but I think you need to be careful with the settings. To get the most out of Eden Amps: 1. Use the Enhance knob incredibly sparingly or, ideally, no at all. It really will suck your mid's out and consume power as it boosts the lows - the worst combination for making yourself inaudible and flogging the amp to its limit. Probably best to leave it off. The flat sound on an Eden amp is a good useable sound. 1 or 2 clicks on these amps make a big difference. If I'm playing a slappy song I sometimes dial in a smidgen of the Enhance, to about 7-8 o'clock at the most. 2. Use the Bass EQ for cutting. I think the Bass Knob is set to around 30Hz (Not sure what the Q is). If you use this to boost you will quickly run out of headroom. On the WT series, use the semi-parametric to boost in a more useful frequency range; 80-150ish. Turning the Bass knob down a click or two can make a big difference in your sound and headroom. I had to use my WTX500 as a back up last night after my WT800 blew a fuse. It performed admirably and sounded great. No PA support, pretty big club, LOUD drummer. Cracking little amp!

Hi y'all, Looking to replace the machine heads on my Japanese 62 reissue Precision. I've had it since 1995 and one the machine heads has failed. What would people recommend that would drop right in? Cheers!

I agree with jazzjames ; the perceived volume is related to the voicing of the amp. A while back I had SWR SRM 900 amp, 900 watts at 4ohms. It was big and heavy, and I thought I did not need that much power so I got rid of it (regretting it now). It was very clean and deep sounding. I briefly owned an orange terror 500 and it kicked the sh*t out of the SWR volume wise. However, I think it is because the Orange doesn't really throw out much actual bass frequencies - it's more about the low mids (which, arguably, are what makes things sound more "bassy" in a live setting).

Thanks for all the input guys. I think I'm probably going to try and get hold of an Eden WT800 and bridge it for 4 ohms. My cab is rated at 1200 watts, so should be able to take it. Volume isn't the problem, I can hear myself fine at gigs. I'm more concerned about the fact I'm at the edge of my amps capability and I feel a bit uneasy about asking my amp to give *everything* it has every gig.

Howdy, I'm lucky enough to be getting loads of work these days in a variety of bands, but my main gig is a LOUD classic rock band (Zep, AC/DC, Ozzy, Deep Purple kinda stuff). I thought I had the rig I needed, and I had up until joining this band. I've got an Eden WT550 (bought from Dood) and I use a Barefaced Super 12 T and I love this rig. However, I'm just at the threshold for limiting most of the time. I use the EQ sparingly and more often than not cut the Bass EQ by a couple of clicks A few tunes I dial in a couple of clicks of upper mids 1-2khz for attack. The enhance knob is off. I play with my fingers and use an MTD 535-24 or a BB 2025x. The simple solution is for the band not to play as loud, but its not going to happen realistically. The drummer is LOUD and has a large Sonor kit. The amp actually sounds fine though. So I'm wondering what best to do. I'm a bit easy about having my amp limiting a lot towards the end of the gig when we are always louder. I only need a wee bit more head room, I'm not limiting the amp for most of the gig. 1. Add another 4-8Ohm cab. I think the WT550 will run down to 2Ohms and give me a little more headroom at 750watts. 2. Buy a more powerful amp. I really like the Eden sound and the semiparametric EQ is such a useful tool. An option is a WT800 bridged to run at 4Ohms. Other amps have caught my eye ,and I'm wondering what people think about the amps, headroom, tone in comparison to my Eden. - EBS Reidmar 750 - GK MB800 - TC RH750 - Peavey MiniMega 1000 (this looks very interesting) - TC Blacksmith. Cheers guys!

Been a big fan of Eden gear for a years, working my way up from a Nemesis NC210 (a truly awesome combo) to a Metro and now to my main head which is a WT550 which I absolutely love. I needed a backup amp and I saw that the WTX500 was being sold new for £299. I took the plunge, but I have to say I was a bit worried about things I had read about its volume. I use a Barefaced Super Twin ( I think it is, 2x12 with tweeter) which is 4Ohm. The WTX500 is plenty loud enough for gigs. I gigged last night in a fairly large pub, probably around 200 people, busy. No PA support. The band is a LOUD rock band with a hard hitting drummer playing a Sonor kit. Amp sounded full and great. It was limiting towards the end of the gig, but it still sounded fine. I also tried it at a band rehearsal through an 8ohm Trace Elliot 2x10 and it was sounding fine too - even being asked to turn down after getting a bit enthusiastic with slapping on Papa Dont Preach. I think perhaps some people use the Enhance knob a little too much which most def will sap your volume or make the amp limit easier by boosting the extreme lows. I keep it off. I also run the EQ pretty much flat, sometimes adding a little bit of upper mid for more attack (and I mean a little bit, between 12 and 1 o'clock is plenty to make an audible difference). If you want a nice lightweight head then this really is great. I have the nifty carry case for it too, and it means I can walk into a gig with two basses on my back (thanks to my Mono double case), my Barefaced in one hand, my amp slung round my neck and my stand in the other hand. Brilliant! For convenience, I might make this my main gigging head - there aint much difference in the sound. Negative points -the only thing I don't like is the Upper Mid Frequency - 2.2Khz. The way I play I seem to get a better attack from around 1 Khz. However, this is a very very small point. Nit picking if anything. These amps are going really cheap new for some reason - I would defo consider it, though probably for gigging you would need a 4ohm load to get the most out it.

Thanks guys, UPS it seems!

Hi there, Just wondering who people would recommend for sending a bass around the country - cost is not too much of an issue, don't mind paying a bit more. I have JayDee Supernatural that needs a re-fret and am thinking of sending it down to JayDee in Birmingham rather than letting the local guy do it. Any suggestions? I know some companies insurance doesn't cover musical instruments. Cheers guys

Hi y'all, Acquired a German made Warwick Streamer STD 5 2PU (the ones that came out before the Rockbass line) - Great playing bass but the pickups sound like crap. Anyone suggest anything that would drop in with the minimal of fuss - I know Bartolini do a replacement but can only find it in 4 string versions. Cheers!

Howdy, I've recently acquired a very nice early 2000s Warwick Corvette at a stupidly cheap price (it's terrible how much these basses depreciate). Great bass, but I'm not overly keen on the pickups or the pre-amp - the treble control seems to be more like upper midrange territory to my ears, 1-2Khz and its just a bit too harsh for me. Any ideas on what pickups would just drop in with the minimum of fuss - I might just leave it as a passive bass. Any suggestions to what would be a good pre-amp? I know it's down to personal preference, but just wondering if any one has tried anything that they think is good. Cheers!

If you ever get the chance to play one of these basses - do! The strings it comes with are MASSIVE 50-110 flat wounds but they give an awesome tone. Bass is recorded with an Eden WDTI pre amp which is quite sweet: Few tracks with it I recorded today ( there's some actual maiden on my youtube channel, thought I'd play something different today) I have a few different playing styles, but I love making a precision clank from time to time [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sxSb1Q2PqI"]https://www.youtube....h?v=3sxSb1Q2PqI[/url] bark at the moon, ozzy [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpKt9OL0aVc"]https://www.youtube....h?v=BpKt9OL0aVc[/url] Immigrant song [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0X84d1gljE"]https://www.youtube....h?v=u0X84d1gljE[/url] Why can't this be love
