I've recently started using one on my board. I really like it simple effective tone enhancer

h Kiwi I think you are being a bit hard here.............. The MP11 I owned for example - great idea to have a MIDI programmable eq (at a time when bassists were still into gimmicks) but sorely limited by just having a single in and a single out and no effects loop. It was like the guy who came up with the idea and the guy who developed and delivered it didn't talk to each other. It should have been a master tone and switching control unit. It should have been a swiss army knife like the Eden WT100 preamp or the SWR Grand Prix - switchable stereo series effects loop, stereo - or biamp outs with crossover and parallel effects loop with blend. I know the guy who designed the MP11 programmable graphic and I watched him doing the design work when I was about 19ish - I'm now 52.................. Eden and SWR were not even a twinkle in the milkman's eye at that time. Given when this was done I think it deserves more credit than that and its not the fairest of comparison.

The word is compromise. If you take the example of the Hi fi world, if price is no object, what do you buy. A 200W Arcam perhaps at nearly £4,000. And inside surely Class D?.....no. Bloody great torroidal transformers and caps like Heinz bean cans. Heavy, hell yeah. Why because nothing beats a sodding great power supply for great bass and transients.

I chose this amp for the Class A twin I/P and I like the design of the Pascal module. It is simply a better module in my humble opinion. As to whether the product is better - I'll let you know.

Update. My F112 arrives Sunday. I have decided it somewhat unfashionably to pair it with a Warwick LWA1000. I decided on the Warwick because firstly it provides the power secondly its not 'ice' equipped and has an honest RMS output, thirdly twin channels as I play EUB and bass G, finally I always liked Warwick amps. I will report.

I am seriously considering a Warwick LWA 1000. I like the twin channels...........what u recon? Better options?

OK here's my bit. I stopped playing for a decade. Been back for 2 years ish after a hard 20. 5th rehearsal after staring a new band. It took 3 months to get the line up. Now three months later bitching, moaning , and the whole sh*t train. This is the reality of a band. It's hard work and its not for everyone. I know many a musician who just doesn't want to be in a band for that reason.

I have n 87 NT6. It is without a doubt one of the most distinctive and well made basses I have ever played and you will have pry it from my cold dead fingers if you want it. The low be is so throaty and deep is almost digital. I has a better low B than my Fodera, and in fact any Wal or so far anything else.Its a bit mid toppy. It barks, growls and rings. It does not do round or smooth but it is oddly jazzy, A hand made bass like mine will cost you just £1500. It does weigh a tonne but you want that hewn from a tree like rock tone, well , its like rock - its heavy.

Been reading more about the Warwick LWA1000 as an option. Its interesting that they did not go for the Ice lass D and have gone for a pascal class D. [url="http://www.pascal-audio.com/amplifier-modules.html"]http://www.pascal-audio.com/amplifier-modules.html[/url] Very good specs.

The only two words I can muster are explosive and diarrhoea

Oh god I want the Laurus............I know the head looks like a biscuit tin but I cant help it.......

4 weeks to Greenboy day................ still haven't worked out which amp..........
