Aguilar DB659 Peavey IPR1600 SKB 3U X All sold
Owen replied to Owen's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Bump for selling it for real now. The Peavey IPR 1600 boasts 800 watts per channel at 2 ohms and is under 7lbs. Featuring 2 channel independent fourth order Linkwitz-Riley crossovers, a variable-speed fan housed in a lightweight aluminum chassis, DDT speaker protection, and the revolutionary new IPR class D topology. Thanks -
[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1332949292' post='1595371'] what happend? Full story? I saw pics of something 'finished' now your only just getting it??? [/quote] There is no "exciting" story (sadly). The 'finished' pics are of the neck being used on the body it was mated with before.

Word has it that it is done and only needs to be posted now.

What is the quietest micro head? Fan noise specifically.

[quote name='Platypus' timestamp='1332787662' post='1593150'] What are like Owen - I can remember you selling one of these not too long ago! Come to think of it, that's the sort of thing I'd do. [/quote] What can I say? I have issues. I might even flog it again, but of everything I have tried so far it has been my fave and I want to try it again. -
I realise it will be an AI cos they have no fans, but how about the rest? I have tried the MB Fusion, Aguilar TH500 and a LM II which were all OK, but I do like a REALLY quiet amp.

Not that I want to diss them in any way. It was a fine axe, just not for me. I can totally see why people love them.

So then I did a review. Well, sort of. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/171596-acme-single-12-fullrange/page__pid__1588746#entry1588746

I needed a small cab because I was fed up of carrying my big cab. I looked at all the likely 12" candidates and decided to go with an ACME. I have always fancied trying one as I like his honesty and general attitude to speakers. It is light and well constructed. It has a port on the front. It has massively satisfying low frequency extension. My other cab is a Berg IP310 which goes ALL THE WAY down. The ACME does the same. There is no obvious sonic weakening as I slide down the B string. It fills the room with chocolatey goodness. I have been trying different amps with it. GK MB Fusion, Markbass something (LMII?) and Aguilar TH500. The ACME is not a super efficient cab and the Aguilar gave up before the other 2. This is not to say that it is not a fine amp, it is just not a good match for the ACME. The Markbass worked nicely, but for me the GK was the one which did the bizz. It drove the cab easily and seemed to have plenty in reserve. So I sold it. I could not justify keeping it and the Demeter pre I have but prefered the Demeter to the GK. So I bought a Peavey IPR1600 power amp which is super light and that drives it very nicely thank you. I had a Berg AE212 in for a short period at the same time to see if it could do instead of the ACME and the IP310. It could not. It was a fine cab and obviously louder than the ACME (2x12" innit) but for me the ACME is just a little bit more complete in the wrapping you in luscious LF. It kind of provides an LF pillow to sit on. I am toying with the idea of getting another and flogging the IP, but I do not KNOW if two are going to make me as happy as the IP does (when I am not carrying it). I also got a 4 Ohm one and this would suggest another 4 Ohm which presents an awkward load to drive if I went back to a micro amp. I do love the Demeter, but I also love the idea of carrying less. A bit of an odd review, more a stream of consciousness about my amp situation really, but I thought I would put this up here so that people knew there was one around and could ask questions if they wanted.

I tried one and really wanted to like it. I found that the volute protruding into where my thumb lurks was kind of in the way.

>The guy from Aguilar says that the power module used in the 350 is the same as the one in the GK MB500. I have owned a GK MB Fusion and an Aguilar TH500 at the same time. The power module in the GK kept going after the Aguilar gave up. No idea what was going on inside etc etc, but for actual volume the GK did more.

Innovation Honey or Rockabilly. They are kind of like gut and have a decent thud. I'm sure someone else will be along with other suggestions in a mo'.

Shockingly I cannot even remember what I bought two posts ago. Needless to say this time was fabulous as well.

They look lush and they are light. Epifani have been around long enough to not put rubbish out so I am excited to see more.

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1330989054' post='1566072'] The uberhorn body is well fit! It is not often I see a "new" shape and think "that works". I fell in love with the uberhorn the first time I saw it. I owned a 33" 5 (with low for a time (waiting on a body to mate with a neck I already have) and it was just superb. You will love it. I discussed the 33" scale thing here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/130240-shuker-uberhorn/page__hl__uberhorn__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] if it helps. [/quote] Odd - obviously the "low " was meant to be "low B".
