not a bad practice amp for £500

[d-basser]

Yup I just picked up a practically mint EBS Fafner for a meer 500 of our british pounds, I say practice amp cause neither of my bands are currently gigging but this wasnt really a deal i could pass up on.
Only ickle prob, the bulb that iluminate the tube is gubbed, any idea how i can replace this?
Also what are the exact power ratings, 600W-2ohms, 440W-4ohms ???

but all in all, OH YEAH!!!

Exactly what you say. With a 2 ohm load, it delivers 600w. With a 4 ohm load, it delivers 440w.

What this really means, if you are running the head with 2x 4ohm cabs, you will get 600w. If you are running the head with 2x 8ohm cabs, you'll get 440. Of course, this also means you can run 4x 8ohm cabs to get 600w.

As for replacement bulbs, give Bernie a call at GB guitars (EBS distributor). He'll be able to get one in for you. (If he hasn't already got one)

I actually got mine off EBS in the end, just never remembered to put that in this thread. Customer service with them is great!

Very nice too! The one SWR I've ever played through really impressed me. Enjoy

I wonder if those bulbs blowing is a common occurence as I remember contemplating buying a Fafner 12-18mths ago and the 2 that I was thinking of getting both had blown bulbs! IIRC the bulb doesn't do anything and is just for show, so it didn't put me off but I wonder if they modded the later Fafners?

Congrats to both of you, very nice Christmas pressies!

[d-basser]

bulb doesnt do anything as you say,
Mine isnt much of a christmas present as I got it in february. My christmas present to my self was the Sei bass I bought couple of hours ago
