As far as i can tell .They move freely without that `grating` which normally signifies coil touble.

Very functional bit of kit. Does` what it says on the can`.A couple of lights missing on first two 20hz sliders but this does not affect performance.2 X 31 band graphic .Has other filters etc ,cheap entry level EQ system.Rear panel has both jack connectors and XLR.
I don`t want to get involved with shipping but can drop off anywhere en route between brighton and s/w london , for a serious buyer,as i drive this daily.Could also possibly consider home counties as i do deliver around there within my day job.
I would now like £25 for the unit.

bump

A good deal for someone! Always well built reliable gear.
Very keenly priced!

This is a part rescue of an ailing cab .It`s a 2 X 10 cab with two 5inch speakers.The only ailing part is that the rear attenuator does not seem to make a lot of difference,(maybe thats my old ears) ,(could be defective pot or crossover,although subsequently a previous owner tells me he did change pot.So could be a lot simpler).
However I have put two new peavey 10 inch bass speakers in (same as tx type).The previous trace 10 inch ones were knackered!!
So it works absolutely fine as a straight 2 x 10!
All I want to do is to break even on parts and stuff so I would like £85 for it.I will not do shipping but I`m willing to drop off to serious buyer.I drive daily between brighton and SW london so anywhere on route would be fine.I also deliver in home counties a lot (as part of my day job)so that could be considered.Also I`m keen for buyer to make sure it (as above) works to their satisfaction before they part with cash.
Take no notice of back plate as it states 8 ohm but it now has two 8 ohm speakers in parallel which is a definate 4 ohms!

About 15 years ago ,for a period of some 4 months i gigged with a set up of two Bose 802cabs with Bose 302 bass bin coupled to the Bose controller 802c.A very worthy pa system! but it sounded incredible with mm sabre and mm sr5.Very little colouration and hi fi like quality.Also loads of headroom when powered by 2 x 1000 watt amps ................. weird that! I think huey lewis`s bass player used something like this for a while!

I can`t decide if this is a good deal or not.On the face of it it sounds good but could cost a bit in servicing ...............
you be the judge ..................

[quote name='Aero' post='573656' date='Aug 18 2009, 11:22 PM']Cris de Man,

Eden amps give a great combination of tone and power.

They are rather more clean sounding than most but still sound full and uncoloured.

You'll probably find you hardly have to touch the tone controls to get a good sound

I've had my WT800c since christmas and I know I will be heard in any gig, In fact the 500 would be enough for most of the gigs I do.

The DI sound is fantastic for recording. Last two sessions the Engineers have not really EQ'd the sound at all

Highly recommend them.

cheers

+1 to all above!

Well worth a look .I love these basses and you`re getting a lot of great quality for your money.

good luck with the sale!

Andy[/quote]
He already knows ................... I was talking to him about it this last weekend.


What a beautiful bass though!!!

Blimey ,that really was quick replies!!!

[quote name='gafbass02' post='560408' date='Aug 4 2009, 05:25 PM']Schaller strap locks have been the first thing I've done to new basses for at least 15 years. Won't play a bass out the bedroom without em.[/quote]

[quote name='BarnacleBob' post='558249' date='Aug 2 2009, 08:15 AM']Is the combo a definite 2 man lift job?

BB[/quote]
as you can see I have one.I lift this by myself ..................... Its not easy but you will manage.Going up a lot of stairs might test you though!The weight is a consideration but this is far outwon by the sheer class of the combo.So advice time.............. get yourself a wheeled `dolly` board/skate and definately don`t put it on your charm bracelet.

hope this helps



happy metro owner

blimey .............. not a bad deal for a complete rig!

A second hand musicman ( 4 or 5 string) will often be got for your budget and there`s a good chance you can get to try one first! these normally have good mwaah factor!

hope this helps



good luck

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='555420' date='Jul 29 2009, 06:38 PM']The Spectrums aren't as good as the Thunder series (which are very good indeed).
It's worth watching ebay as you'll get a much better Thunder for less that the price of that Spectrum[/quote]
+1 on the above

`thunder` series is really the one to consider.

good luck !

Have a look in the for sale section .................... 1 X 15 black widow cab for £60 .......... Bargain!!

It`s not mine,just noticed it though ... hope it might help!

Worth having a look at is the `beeps` rig for sale currently .Eden metro combo plus Eden 2 x 10 xlt cab for £800.More power,more versatile and much better value than your prospective purchase if you can strech that couple of hundred quid further.As a metro owner myself i cant praise these combos high enough!!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='549718' date='Jul 24 2009, 08:16 AM']Peavey gear is vastly underrated and for the money there is little that can beat it. As has been noted some of the TX/TVX cabs are on the heavy side compared to more modern cabs but if you are young and injury free, you can take a manual handling course with the money you save buying Peavey gear.

I should qualify this by stating that I have owned a variety of Peavey gear over the years (inc' all of the OP suggestions with the exception of the newer Nitro/Firebass stuff) and tbh you'd be hard pushed to justify spending x4 the cash on 'better' stuff... saying that when you have the means, then you just do! [/quote]




Totally agree with all of above and have been a peavey user myself in the past.
Also to be considered,If they come up for sale, rack megabass head or T Maxx head.All will do a fine job for relatively little money.And always seem to be very reliable.


Hope this helps.

[quote name='JTUK' post='549281' date='Jul 23 2009, 06:53 PM']You'd need a stereo amp and a pre-amp which had a built in x-over.

An old SM400 with bi-amp and you can pick them up for reasonable money.
You have 200watts per side into 4 ohms...so a bit low-powered maybe these days..

SM500 is 250 watt per side.

Eden do the same as well..not sure of the models...

or the pre-amp route, a DB680 with x-over outs into any stereo power amp

That way you can control the freqs into which cab..upto a point from the amp..and also the power output..[/quote]

Eden models WT600 and WT800 have in built variable crossover and stereo power amp sections.I use these features on my rig ,flipping in between full range and bi-amp,which normally gets the sound i want.
Older peavey megabass rack heads had these facilities as well and can be picked for quite reasonable money.

Just a thought for some people who have active basses.I thought I had developed a new buzzing fault on low notes,thought I had speaker problems ............................. turns out it was a battery about to expire!two new batteries later and it sounds as lovely as it ever did.

For what it`s worth,this is a hell of a rig and for a very good price.I can only imagine the location is a bit far for some.This eden stuff is SO good.

Good luck with sale!

Once again................ great cab,great bloke and a great price.

I heard the nemesis head running into one of my eden cabs and it sounded pretty darn good.Nik is a joy to deal with, so all you potential buyers can purchase with confidence.Prices are ultra reasonable!!!
