I've got a couple of the One10s - handle 500w without breaking sweat and so convenient. I've also got Super Compact Gen 3, which sounds different but still nice - to me anyway (just the new 12" driver, no tweeter).

The One10 will also contribute to the vintage tone you're getting.

Soooo, here's my BF story! Bought Kev's Midget T and SC Gen 3, preferred the SC G3 and so moved the Midget T on. Decided to get a new One10 to use with my Eden WTX-264 for home/practice/small venue/back-line - so impressed with the One10 that I've just got another! Lots of options now: Eden + 1 x 10 or 2 x 10s; RM EVO 500 + 2 x 10s or 1 x 12; all 3 cabs + Magellan 800 switched down to 2.67ohms. Now a REALLY happy bass-bunny and don't expect to change a thing in the foreseeable future (famous last words ).

I ordered in July, Adrian was a bit vague about delivery time and didn't get much news from him since then. Did he just messaged you when the bass was ready ? [/quote] I've bought 2 M basses (one Maruszczyk and one Mensinger) and didn't get any updates - just had to wait Mind you, on both occasions I was quoted the 'standard' 12-week build time but they arrived early! I'd hope that Adrian would get back to anyone that was having to wait longer - if that ever happened.

Just sold an Electro-Harmonix Bass Soul Food pedal to jellyknees - smooth process completed in double-quick time. Proper Basschatter - thanks again for buying Neil!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1505373092' post='3371339'] Nice one Mike, glad you like it, they really are a hidden gem amongst the smaller Class D amps imo, seem to have a lot more "oomph" to them. [/quote] Hi Lozz - couldn't have put it better myself Post from Bassix confirms that I did the right thing!

[quote name='bassix' timestamp='1504125619' post='3362910'] I had the RM420 and sent it back after one practise, just didn't cut through sufficiently. Got the RM EVO 500 and no such problems, I see you already have one.. [/quote] Yep, ended up getting the one from Lozz - really pleased with it!

With an 800W amp on your pedal-board you might need shoes with asbestos soles!

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1504947540' post='3368451'] ^^ Oh, and Dave there at GB Music has this one for sale, with 3 more coming in next week... [/quote] Just like buses - you wait 6 months for one the 4 turn up at the same time

Sorry, should have read the OP properly (brain-fade) - I'm not techie enough to know whether that 2.7ohm setting also accommodates 2 x 4ohm cabs.

My Genzler Magellan 800 is switchable down to 2.7ohms to run either 3 x 8ohm cabs (which I do) or 1 x 4ohm + 1 x 8ohm. It's also a blindingly good IMHO and not as expensive in the UK as other popular US amps.

You'd also get a decent used Hofner Club CT for your budget (I had a lovely one for a while). Similar sounds to the violin bass but maybe without the 'Beatle-McCartney' connection, which can attract a bit of a price premium.

My list would be more like 20, and the only ones I haven't managed to try yet are an Alembic EUB 1, a Rivoli (pref Chas Chandler's), one of those cute little Warwick s-s Corvettes, and (bizarrely, as I love 'em and have had lots of opportunities) a Ricky 4001.

[quote name='LITTLEWING' timestamp='1504351402' post='3364290'] I got two basses on the wall on hangers for those quick 'working things out' moments and two sitting in hard cases ready for gigs. I couldn't relax on a journey if my basses were in gig bags, however much they're padded. I can always see something falling over and cracking the neck off. [/quote] Exactly the same here.
