It’s very hard to describe, but I think/feel the difference is kinda like this:- a valve amp is still “active” even no nothing is actually playing through it. It’s charged, all ready moving, just waiting for a signal to work upon, and when a signal is passed through it works upon it in a positive/negative wave, replicating the motion of the strings etc. class d feels like it only reacts to the positive “push” of the strings, making it feel like half the dynamics and depth feel missing somehow. it measures perceptibly as just as loud, but kind feels half there.. what do u guys think?

Quite simply, I believe that class d is good for reinforcing tone (p.a application), but not for creating your tone in the first place. Its all in the response and feel which creates the tone initially, ( valves etc) then hoofing it through a big PA system which will highly likely be class d, and simply making your tone louder with minimal colouration

I'm the exact opposite. love svts, but really cannot get on with the permenant distortion present in an ampeg svt 8x10 (the speaker baskets are stamped not cast meaning they are not stiff, so actually bend a little, but give you "that" sound.) I do love an Ampeg fridge for rock/blues, but for high volume clean stuff, its a no from me

i've really enjoyed reading the comments here so far, to clarify, i prefer the weight not for tone, but i move, a lot. i also use the weight of the bass/neck for string bends/neck bends and slides etc, so a 70's p or j works well. one of these new fangled hollow basses might pop a nut!!!!

There, I said it.... I'm good with a 16lb'er........

Now then! Which if u lucky gits got my wal pro on eBay this week? (By mine, I mean I was talking to the seller, over a few days and all was going ahead till I got called to work, out of comms, and someone nabbed it!! I've got a pretty good idea who got it too;) Enjoy;)

Mrs roonjuice had to have a discreet word a while back, I had 2 svts, and 2 8x10 in the living room, and 11 basses stashed in the bedroom alone.... she has kinda stopped noticing.......

I get calluses on the regular. Particularly on the right hand. Could sand bricks smooth with them!

Is that the 6 ohm 6x10?

Exactly what I did. I was told is was Usa, new old stock If I knew it was going to be Chinese I wouldn’t have gone for it...

Not USA upon delivery....... grrrrrrrrr back it goes.....

Usa too....

running an amp with another manufacturers speaker is fine, as long as you consider wattage/impedence factors carefully... the electricity does not care... your ears do..

50 .....

Just bought a second hand markbass 4x10 of Gary. Buyer beware. In his ad, he stated it was was second hand! it’s bloomin’ brand new!!!!!! cheers mate and many thanks. It’s gonna have a good life. Absoulutely no hesitation in dealing with Gary again. A gentleman from start to finish:) r
