Exactly. Or do something about your EQ - still waiting to hear how you currently EQ as I'm 90% sure that's the problem.

Alex[/quote]

Yeah I could.... but then I wouldn't get the enjoyment of stating the 'obvious(to me) so often!!!! So many bassists I meest can't believe that a 300w tube amp can be as loud as a 1200w s.s. amp! & SO many bassists , vocalists etc can understand how I can be quieter onstage with my all tube amp yet still be punchy & 'loud'& sounding greaT out front. But thats how it be!

You could make me an offer for my Mesa/Boogie 400 + .....................all valve lovliness wrapped in a 6U shockmount flightcase to keep it...nice.
It's got volume in spades..............and I happen to be shifting an Ashdown ABM810 cab too.......this has got to be right up your street boyo !!

You might even get it at a good price if your quick before I advertise it.

So that's a 20kg amp in a 10-15kg case? I really hope that has wheels.

I still really want one.

"However...... If I wanted a bomb proof reliable, seriously loud tone monster i'd buy an Aguilar DB750 and a pair of 4ohm cabs @ 2ohms it's pushing out close to 1000w"

I agree entirely...but just make sure you can turn it on (see my pleas in an Aguilar problem thread) - thanks Mark for your suggestions on the power conditioner (currently being actioned!)...sorry not mastered the quote box thingy yet

So did Timface get terminally electrocuted by an unreliable amp shortly after starting this thread or is he not responding as he hasn't been given the answer he wants?
