The winners have been announced. I'm not part of them, ... as usual.

This ACUS One ForBass is a bit unique and not that expensive if you consider the 400 Watts (RMS), the 10" high excursion (which means that it can handle more low end than a conventional 10" speaker and is a well known fact in the high end hi-fi), the 3 independent channels, the built-in reverb effect, the compressor, the notch filter and the ability to be used with an electric bass as well as an EUB or a real double bass. The only other competitors with the same specs are in the same price tag ; the Schertler Lafaro and all AER bass dedicated combos being way much expensiver. The GSS are really cheap, but not powerful : http://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/catalog_gss-bass-and-upright-bass-combos.htm Take a look here to see which combos Gollihur sells and their prices : https://www.gollihurmusic.com/keyword/2-COMBO_AMPS.html That said a double bass sounds better with smaller speakers like 8" or 10" (a 15" sounds awful with a double bass and a 12" must be very precise to sound right) and as I wrote I'm looking for something with the same built quality and specs as my AER BassCube v1 (v1 stands for first version with 3 channels, the second generation having only 2), but way much lighter and this ACUS One ForBass meets everything I'm asking for. Concerning the old technology in AER amps : why change something that is working perfectly and their service is just fantastic. I sent my BassCube to their factory last year and everything that was defective or subject to become defective has been changed for a ridiculous fee and the amp has been upgraded to the last version (are you sure it's an old technology ?) for free !!! And I was asking if anybody ever tried an ACUS One ForBass to notice that the thread is simply derailing (as often, hélas).

It's a €99 Euros option...

The AER BassCube 2 costs new around £3000 GBP !?! The first version like mine was slightly cheaper, at around £2800 GBP...

The onboard effects seem to be 8 different reverbs. That said my AER BassCube v1 has also 3 inputs and an assignable compressor, plus two power amps (340 + 60 Watts) , but weights 25 kilos, which is almost twice the weight... And the sound is impressive too.

Has anyone tried this ACUS One ForBass ? https://www.acus-sound.it/en/products/one-forstrings-one-forall/one-forbass-detail.html On the paper and in the videos, it looks like the perfect amp for me as my AER BassCube v1 is now too heavy for my broken (destroyed ?) back. Below are the videos in delightful Italian :

Erm, do you use your gain control the correct way on your amp ? If yes, there will be no volume difference between the two basses. If you don't know how to do, just ask, there is absolutely no stupid question.

Over the years, I've owned around 200 basses (I have a list somewhere)... Now, I only have 10.5 as my new Leduc U-Basse 6 Fretless is under construction : Berne Harpobasse 4, Byl Custom 6, Esh Impact 6, Leduc Contr-U-Basse 6 L-009 Moaï, Leduc Masterpiece MP 628 SF, Leduc PAD 6, Leduc U-Basse UMM6, MTD 635-24 Fretless, Status Electro 4 Fretless, Warrior DM7 Signature Custom. Six basses must go : guess which ones. 🤔

Yes, it's the same bass with the same discolouration near the trussrod "bullet" mentioned by Alan himself.

Even worse, it could be me. 🤣

I've got nicer shoes. 🤩

I watched the two videos as I have time ... today. The only missing things in the first video are a broom to put in his a$$ and some light reflection in the tuba to have a glowing halo around his head... I really do prefer the way that the Rosenberg brothers are enjoying the same tune, way much more fun in it.

These are indeed terrific basses and I'm the one who sold the last one here, which was very highly upgraded...
