EA Micro 550 with padded bag and DI cable * SOLD * £390

[Clarky]

My gear downsizing continues. I bought this from the forum a few months back at £400 and have since added a DI extension lead (as the head does not have an XLR out) and a neat padded bag (not EA but fits perfectly), together costing about £35. Will sell for £390 posted (£380 collected) which is a bargain for an amp of this quality and in basically near-perfect condition (they are £550 new at BassDirect and the XLR conversion cable is £14 on top).

Works fabulously for double bass (has two channels, one specifically voiced for piezo input) but I've also used it with my fretless acoustic/electric bass and its both loud and ludicrously light.

This is about the lowest price I've ever seen for one of these. If circumstances were different, I'd take this today. Oh well....

[Clarky]

Cheers Tom and it looks virtually brand new too. I am surprised it hasn't been snapped up but then again the same applies to loads of other good stuff for sale on BC

Bump. Hard to find anything as tiny as this with as much power - 2.3 pounds delivering 550W of clean, quality amplification

[Clarky]

Sorry but in answer to a couple of PMs this is sale only. I already have too many amps (four) which is why this lovely piece of kit is for sale!

[Clarky]

Addendum - I include £10 postage cost within UK. Post to mainland Europe would be about £20-25, ie, all-in cost about £390-395 to France/Germany/Belgium etc depending on fast or economy service

Super amp bump
[/quote]Thank you! Tis indeed a super amp but EA's seem to attract a small minority of BC's community

[guybrush threepwood]

Really, really interested in this, but I'm waiting on a bass to sell. Whereabouts is the control for the high pass filter?

[Clarky]

Hi there, its a little trim pot on the top edge (you would need a fine screwdriver to adjust it). I have to say I've never touched it. Here's the manual [url="http://eaamps.com/UploadedPDFs/micro%20doubler%20manual%20hi%20res.pdf"]http://eaamps.com/UploadedPDFs/micro%20doubler%20manual%20hi%20res.pdf[/url]

Clarky - I had the "discussion" with my wife about keeping my old ea micro for a backup when my new one comes but apparently we have a "one in one out" rule on bass amps! Pah - have you ever heard anything so ridiculous?
Good luck with selling the little miracle.

[Clarky]

Gear re-think again. This is back up for sale at a slightly lower price of £375 posted or £365 collected

[Clarky]

Sunny Saturday bump. This is a bargain for the quality and size

[Clarky]

Been a couple of weeks type bump - £375 posted UK, £365 collected, £390 posted mainland Europe

[Clarky]

near offers considered

[Clarky]

Saturday bump with reminder that near offers will be considered

Interesting, especially considering I'm about to get an EUB.

Out of interest, what cab did you partner this with for double bass ?

[Clarky]

Hi there, I had it paired with an Epifani UL112 for gigs or a Crazy8 (custom 1x8) cab for rehearsals and very small gigs. No reason why it couldn't be paired with any quality cab though.
