There’s a GK MB800 and Barefaced big one in the classifieds at the moment. Combined price of £675, that would be more than adequate, power wise. I had the 500w MB Fusion, playing in a fairly loud band with two guitars, and never found it a struggle volume wise

The marketplace here is a great place for some quality gear. Are you looking towards Class D or more traditional gear?

For rock covers, I’d be looking for a used GK MB Fusion. I’ve just sold one, only because I had GAS for a EBS TD650 and I’ve also got a Darkglass M900, so letting the GK go wasn’t a disaster. Two channels, with separate gain and volume controls, 3 12ax7’s in the front end, and light as a feather. Does the sparkly GK sound and also lovely warm grit.

Yes it’s not the best time to be selling really, but I’ve got a EBS TD650 in my sights so it’s a case of at least trying to sell it. Tbh I’d rather keep it than have to take anything that low for it. I’m not desperate to sell it, I’ve still got my Darkglass M900 and Ashdown ABM, so I’m not in desperate need of the EBS -

The urge for something big and heavy isn’t going away, so it’s time to part ways with this little fella. It’s been an absolutely cracking little amp, and if it wasn’t for the fact I can’t justify having 4 amps, I’d probably just keep it as a spare. I’ve had several class D’s, incl TC RH450 & 750, GB Shuttle 9.2, Aguilar TH500 and a Darkglass M900 and I’ve kept this one far longer than any of the others, this has been by far my favourite class d amp. Two channels with independent gain and volume controls, plus a preamp with 3 x 12ax7’s make it very versatile. Set one up for classic GK sparkle and one up for valve driven warmth and change between the two with the click of a footswitch. It’s in great condition, has just been serviced by Martin Bailey. There are a couple of small scratches on the top(which I’ve included in the pics) but apart from that it’s unmarked. It comes with a SKB gig bag, the zip is a bit dodgy on one corner but it still zips up fine, and a generic footswitch. Tbh the footswitch, I’ve never used, it takes up a lot of room in the bag so I just bought a tiny Arachnid Audio latching switch to go on my pedal board. The price includes UK mainland delivery, and is pretty fixed tbh, it’s a great little amp for that price delivered. I will take £20 off if someone wants to come and collect it or meet up within reasonable distance of Bristol, say 40 miles. Not looking for any trades as the money from this is going straight towards an EBS TD650.

What's the best class D bass amp head you've used?
ern500evo replied to thebassist's topic in Amps and Cabs
That will be awesome. Glad to hear you’ll be back playing through a rig that you think so highly of. A friend has kindly offered to lend me his ABM600 for a couple of weeks, to A/B it against some other amps. Really looking forward to doing that, once travel restrictions relax enough for me to actually go collect it! -

The itch needed scratching again huh Lozz?! I did wonder how long you’d last before getting another one! 😁 -
That’s very interesting, a lot of what I’ve read implies that unless you’re running a 2ohm cab, the TD650 isn’t much different to the HD. The first EBS I ever heard live was a TD650, it sounded awesome. There’s a used one on Bass Direct website at the moment
-
I think that’s the plan, pick one up and then take the opportunity to A/B it against some other amps at rehearsal

Thanks man. I’ve never played through one, but whenever I’ve seen bands and the bass player is using a EBS head, it always seems to just sound ‘right’. They had that reputation for being aimed at slap players, but I’ve seen bands using HD350’s and TD650’s in all kinds of genres. There was a local covers band doing the clubs and bars and their bassist had a TD650 and it sounded monstrous doing rock stuff. I know the latest Ashdown ABM gets a lot of love and is seen as a big step up from the previous ABM’s, so being offered the chance to borrow one to A/B with some other amps is a godsend. Looking forward to having a play about with some various options. I’ve seen a couple of EBS Fafners available on the used market too, that’s pretty tempting.
