Thanks for the positive comments. I have both the 3000 and the 4000 and they give me all the tonal range I need. As far as I can tell, many players use their graphic eq set to give the response that the 'shape' control is designed for, so lack of graphic eq should not be an issue. David

A solid state amplifier with a conventional power supply, in a 2U rack mount-format, with built-in Hartke reliability. Not quite as powerful as the iconic HA3500 (although you would be hard pressed to hear the difference playing live) this head uses the EQ system from several of their combos and their DI pre-amp box - a four band EQ, and a shape function, similar to a variable frequency, variable depth, mid-frequency scoop. From the user manual - [url="http://www.samsontech.com/site_media/legacy_docs/3000_4000_manual.pdf"]http://www.samsontec...4000_manual.pdf[/url] Introduction - ...provides 300 W into 4 ohms... Specification page - Distortion typically less than 0.1% Power output @ 1kHz, 4 ohms, 5% distortion - 350 Wrms EQ frequencies 80 Hz, 220Hz, 770Hz and 5kHz Shape sweep 90Hz to 1kHz This amp was used out of a rack at some point in its career, and has some scuffing of the paint, as shown in the photographs, however, it is in full working order, and none of the pots crackle. I'm happy to meet up within reasonable travelling distance in NW England, or courier it to you at your expense, I estimate that will cost about £15.

There have been discussions about rack-mounting sleeved amps in the past - The general consensus was that assuming the amp was about the right size, you could mount it under an upside-down rack-mounted shelf, which would then provide the missing sides and top. David

It is an 8 ohm cab. The bottom end is covered by an Eminence Delta 12LF rated at 500 watts, the mid-range is covered by an Eminence Alpha 8 rated at 125 watts and the top end is covered by an Eminence APT50 rated at 35 watts so you could use it with amplifiers up to 5-600 watts without worrying about it melting. As always, your tone settings will determine whether the the speaker starts to fart before the amp starts to clip. I used to use it in a church worship band with a 200w/8ohm Hartke amp, and it was rarely above 1/3 volume. It is more efficient than your average box. Let me know if you need any more information, or better still, come over and try it out. David

Just a reminder that this cab is still for sale. David

[b]Update 11 March - now £80 posted[/b] Update 28 February - now £90 posted I bought these to try and cure a Warwick neck-dive problem, but they were not enough - I even tried putting lead in the control cavity before I gave up and sold it on. These were on the bass for a couple of days, and have been in the box ever since. They are the HB6Y design, with a 3/8 inch shaft and the Y shaped head: not the Fender clover type. They are also the shiny chrome version: not the cheaper satin chrome. They are set up as three on top and two underneath a right-handed headstock, but can be easily dismantled and turned around if you need 4+1 or 2+3 These will cost you £135 if bought new from Bass Direct. You can have mine for £80 posted to a UK address. David

Thanks for looking David A youtube video of the Omni 12 and amp and wheels, but powered by the Markbass head on the rig next to it. The video camera was on a tripod about 20 feet away, and you can see it shake on the low notes about 30 seconds in to the recording. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7VJH27HgSw[/media].
