Those are just fabulous looking basses!! Can't afford one myself at the moment but just wanted to BUMP them up as they deserve it..

[quote name='Mr.T' post='548991' date='Jul 23 2009, 03:01 PM']Having owned a WT series Eden, and now an RS700 Nemesis... I would describe the 'flat' (no eq) sound to be quite similar, i.e clean, clear and slightly scooped.[/quote] Thanks; that's a real help... good to have a direct comparison made etc, etc..

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='548787' date='Jul 23 2009, 12:13 PM']Does this sound like a proper Eden head?[/quote] That's a good question and a difficult one to answer.. The Nemesis e.q architecture (to borrow their very highbrow phrase) is very similar to all Eden heads, though there are 2 distinct differences IMO: 1) the NA650 is a solid state amp so it uses a solid state bit of trickery to emulate the valve pre-amp design / sound that lots of the other World Touring series Eden heads have. It does it well - a bit like Gallien Krueger's 'boost and G.I.V.E. technology - but it is definitely not a 'valve' sound. 2) the semi-parametric e.q. on the NA650 is good but nowhere near as flexible as the World Touring series Eden heads Hope that helps to answer your question in part but come back to me if not!

BUMP! Last couple of days before the auction ends on Evil Bay. Though would much rather see it go to a fellow BC member if possible...

You can add a huge amount of low end or top end sheen with the Aguilar or you can just go passive by pulling the volume pot. You can get an approximation of a P-bass too by messing around with the coil taps. All in all, it's quite versatile but I've a Bongo 5HH and a Carvin 5er. Any interest? Cheers, John.[/quote] Thanks.. I've always fancied a Valenti to be honest, more than a Sadowsky for example, and this is only the 2nd (or maybe 3rd) 5 string I've seen on Basschat which makes it quite unique! However, having just upgraded my rig, I can't spend money on more basses and the only two 5 string basses I have are both Jazzes, so that kind of rules me out of the equation when it comes to trades.. So best I can do is say 'lovely bass' and give you a free BUMP!

Saw this amp the other night up at Jay's place and it looks the business.. This is a real bargain at this price!

Looks like a great bass with excellent electronics! Looking at the Talkbass forums, Valenti has a pretty good reputation too.. But what does it actually sound like?

[quote name='budget bassist' post='545945' date='Jul 21 2009, 02:14 AM']how would it sound in a metal band? i'm looking for something fairly punchy/growly, or is it sort of neutral sounding like a markbass?[/quote] That's a good question! Being a sad old git, I'm not in a metal band but we do Jump by Van Halen, a Killers track and a Hendrix track and the amp always sounds very punchy - though it depends on the type of bass you use as well.. But this amp has good definition and flexibility with mid frequencies, and you can dial in some valve emulation as well.. so should be fine.. Hope that helps!

That's a bargain!!

[quote name='bubinga5' post='545908' date='Jul 21 2009, 12:02 AM']good god,these are some of the finest collection of basses ive seen hear on BC, this side of CK's instruments[/quote] +1

Now on Ebay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150360091980"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=150360091980[/url] I've listed it at a slightly higher BIN price and without the 2U case, but this offer of £300 inc the SKB case still stands to any Basschatters interested...

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='544458' date='Jul 19 2009, 01:41 AM']I played my TF at three gigs this week - it does 'deep'. That's why I bought it to replace a fretless Jazz which was lovely and sounded great but didn't do 'deep' in the way I was looking for. It's fretless Fender heaven around here at the moment.[/quote] FWIW, I remember hearing Dave's TF at a gig in May and it sounded absolutely glorious, so I assume Legion's will do too...

On hold, pending payment..
