BassAdder60

I had one and it was a great amp but I didn’t gel with the very mid focused EQ Build quality was very good but I suspect there are duff ones around like everything. Send it back under warranty if only 5months old

Lovely bass My player series were great but watch the bridge saddle screws as they tend to loosen and mess up the action. Simple upgrade is changing the bridge or nail varnish on the screws

Further updates on the T900 amp In my rock band with two guitars and reasonably loud drummer I can use the T900 into the Monaco 8ohm cab and it’s a lovely set up and loud. If I need even more I can use the PA or my Vanderkley 212 Now the T900 comes with an anti slip mat that is cut to the right size and definitely works very well. In B & M they sell on a roll the same stuff at £2.50 so I purchased some and cut a larger mat so any of my amps would stay put. The Monaco has a great tough finish but slightly lacking in grip compared to tolex or fur covering ! The T900 is a great amp, what you put in cleanly comes out, your bass tone is very clear and punchy as hell. Taste control is marvellous for getting clear or warm vintage in a single control !

Yep the SGT pedal gets you real close I think

I think getting close to sound is one challenge but the feel of playing into a full valve amp cannot easily recreated

The EICH T900 is German built and a very modern sounding amp Clear and punchy with simple to use EQ and a clever “ taste control “ to adjust from sparkly clean to warm and dark

In the context of rock I’ve owned the SVT CL bass head and SVT 610 cab More recently was using the V4B and SVT212AV cab I think the tone to me is a warm deep full sound with a little natural valve grit as required. It worked well in every rock band I played in. Today I’ve played the Ampeg PF800 head which was very close in sound but I moved it on as you do ! Ashdown RM800 EVO II gets close too as it has a warm sound although the drive feature isn’t close at all EICH T900 is my current amp and it’s clean and punchy and I prefer the clarity with this amp and better speakers so I’ve moved from the warm vintage tone and like the clear tone of the EICH I don’t think you need the very heavy amps from the past to sound as good in a band today just be thankful it weighs alot less !! Plus it’s easier selling class D amps as lighter to ship etc

I had a massive issue with Parcel2Go when I shipped some gear( a bass ) as a seller to an eBay buyer who chose Argos in Sainsbury’s. Argos wouldn’t take it ( too large a box ) and the courier UPS shipped it back not to me the sender but a Parcel2Go depot !! Getting a response from Parcel2Go was a total nightmare and two weeks later it arrived back with me !! All ok until you need help and these parcel sites have terrible after sales service. UPS wouldn’t help as it was booked through P2G !!

Nice rig 👍🤟

I’m not talking about deep dub type reggae bass which is what you expect in the genres that suit but many young covers and original bands seem to favour a bright mid sounding bass very close to guitar mids etc and out front there seems to be a gap from drums to where traditional bass would sit then guitars. Perhaps in pursuit of small lightweight rigs the clout from big bass cabs is a thing of the past especially when they are not going through the PA which for small venues is typical as a vocals only PA

Noticed recently that several bands I’ve seen the bass players tone are very lacking in deep bass and more “ guitar” like in tone Must admit I much prefer a deep full bass tone hence why I hear the difference compared to a pick played bass which is great for some songs. Curious to why bass players want to have such a tone without a deep bass sound ???

Actually I’ve got a better sound now as it’s more suited to the band I’m now in. The V4B and the SVT cab was great for more vintage rock but suitable for all genres but the weight was the deciding factor. I’m enjoying a cleaner bass sound which has helped since acquired the LFsys Monaco and more recently the Vanderkley 212 cab which are both awesome

That makes a satisfying read and good news you fixed it and for the better it seams I have a new EICH T900 amp which is very nice but EICH are terrible replying to emails or FB messages Great amps but terrible after sales support it would appear.

Well I left behind the Ampeg V4B 100w valve head and heavy SVT 212AV cab and I found that most decent class D heads and new light cabs were a match for the tone Ashdown RM500 / RM800 is a good choice EICH T900 is a very nice choice ( my main amp now ) EBS Reidmar 752 also very nice, I’m selling mine as I need to thin the herd ! Cabs you could look at LFsys Monaco as it’s crazy loud and very light or perhaps Vanderkley or Barefaced ?? So much choice out there today

How are you getting on with the T900 ?

I don’t think you would hear much of a difference, minimal “ H” difference but not worth the extra pounds in my opinion ( had the ABM600, purchased a 750 and sent it back )

Looks like the RM800 B stock has all gone at Ashdown Mine was virtually as new in fact probably better than some that arrive from stores that never seem “ that new” !!! Great amps and very pleased to have one again in my collection
