Ash [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The head is modern and clean, super transparent and focused, super fast attack, loads of definition, you can hear every little thing you do. Leads to your playing becoming more effortless as everything you play even lightly can be heard so well. Flat EQ really sounds flat (or flatter than most amps) and the EQ is very powerful giving you a lot of versatility. If you increase gain you get a bit of drive which sounds pretty good too (not as organic as the drive in the Aguilar TH500 for example, but quite pleasant). The compressor is very effective and made me put my MXR Bass Comp away. I'm only selling because I've been playing valves for 10 years and just couldn't get used to solid state tone.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The cabs sound darker and offer a good counterpoint to the liveliness of the amp, balancing the whole thing up. Old-school sounding and with a very well balanced tweeter you don't feel the need to attenuate at all (as is usually the case with EBS). I think they sound a bit like some MarkBass cabs to my ears on the lows and mids, but with a much better tweeter.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]You're welcome to come over and try it out, since you're in London.[/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1976fenderhead Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Details updated on 1st post, my preference now is to trade for a 5 or 6 string bass, but still up for selling too of course.

1976fenderhead Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) I've had a few interesting offers so this weekend is likely last chance if you want to get this. Edited September 22, 2012 by 1976fenderhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976fenderhead Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Potential trade fell through, still available, happy to sell just a single cab if that's what you're after.

Harrythebassdawg Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 thanks, yeah I just spoke to EBS who said they're about 39lbs, and will correct they're website asap. Basically, I can see myself doing the odd trip on the tube with a cab, and I know this will be a mission with anything, but I at least want something do-able, I think these may just be a tad heavy...even though they're pretty light! I'll have a think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
