[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1501743978' post='3346969'] A minute or so with Google reveals that it does have a standard IEC mains connector and switch mode PS. However the US version also has 120V 60Hz printed on the back panel, so there must be some differences to the PSU between this and the 240V version - even if it is only the value of the non-accessible mains fuse. [/quote] Unless the delay for the U.K. Models is purely down to printing 230VAC on the back of a batch haha

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1501707634' post='3346849'] What type of power supply does it have? [/quote] It's got to be SMPS?

[quote name='Deedee' timestamp='1501707588' post='3346847'] And you get the carry bag. When I asked BD they said their price didn't include a bag 😮 [/quote] That's a bit daft given it's in the box in which the amp will be delivered!!

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1501692515' post='3346642'] I still have a lowly Commando 15 at my home studio, every time I mention that I like it, people look at me funny. Sounds really good to me, and i'm not a fan of Trace stuff at all, in fact I hate all the rehearsal room Trace amps i've played through. But the Commando has something nice about it, very punchy mids, not the usual scoopy tone. I got it for £50. [/quote] My first proper bass amp, wish I hadn't sold it a few years ago. I keep looking out for the very very rare Commando head just for nostalgic reasons really....

Chris sold me a Hotone Nano Legacy bass amp. Absolutely top notch seller, quick and easy with perfect comms. Perfick!

Lovely!

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1500203690' post='3336164'] Well it's good to know it really will fit in your back pocket: (warning: gratuitously stupid sexist content follows) [attachment=249175:elf_backpocket.jpg] [/quote] There is also a photo of a bloke having it in his back pocket, not really an issue IMO Edit - can't find that pic now hahaha

Gorgeous

Well this is now appearing in shops in the States so I hope those of you with back orders over this side of the pond will have yours soon and be able to report back

I had one of these combos, it was the best combo I've ever used and I kinda wish I'd never sold it. £300 is bang on I think

Does this use the standard ICEPower amp module or something a bit more exotic?

I like the look of that!

Great looking bass, nice one!

Are the 410s relatively new, they weren't part of the "original" EVO launch were they? I keep considering going back to a 410 and this seems to be a real contender if I ever manage it for the same reasons as Lozz..

Busy but good thanks. Keep commissioning new ACGs How about you?

Not sure on value tbh but you're welcome to come down and try my Status J any time dude

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1498987994' post='3328332'] Can't really do any slapiladapilies on it. [size=4][color=inherit]But, I have my Lakland for that.[/color][/size] [color=inherit]I still think it's wider than Ibanez's string spacing though, but someone will have to correct me if I'm wrong.[/color] [/quote] Seems v small to me, my ACGs are 45mm nut with 17mm spacing at the bridge and I thought they were quite compact! I can see the appeal though, very much

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1498998041' post='3328429'] That's what I was suggesting. Doing the focus group work ahead of time with heir retailers (to judge the market without releasing) and then release to the public at NAMM... or maybe just use NAMM as the testing point it's supposed to be without everybody sharing every detail with the public who then want to buy something they can't get! For me, it's like putting loads of money into a movie and releasing lots of trailers and then bypassing cinema to release it on BluRay 6 months later. [/quote] Fair enough

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1498932372' post='3328112'] You'd have thought with NAMM every year being the pinnacle of manufacturers showing off their new stuff that they would plan their release around NAMM. I.e. Build prototypes, do testing etc before NAMM, get loads produced before NAMM and then release with stock following almost instantly. Most manufacturers seem to take something to NAMM sand you're lucky if it hits the retailers within 3-6 months, even for the big guys. Totally crazy, cos you'd make a killing if you had something good and people could just buy it before anything else got released! [/quote] I guess they use it to gauge audience/consumer reaction. Imagine doing it the way you suggest with hundreds of amps built and ready to ship only for it to be met with complete indifference? What they should at least do is have all the prototyping and production issues ironed out so that it's just a case of hitting the switch and getting a production order for 50/100/200 whatever....
