I may have just accidentally purchased a WB-100 from Bass Bros.

Proof will follow when it arrives 😅

That's really a coincidence.....l accidently bought a HB 400 and never regretted it. 😁

Ah, didn’t see that! Is it the original passive EQ, or the newer model with the mid?

Original one, so prob will need one of those Designacable attenuators for the DI. Quite looking forward to trying it out!

Mine is the new one and it needed the attenuator cable. Thought the original amps were ok but WoT will confirm.

Ah, you lucky duck. I love the original EQ. Probably would have scored this myself if I’d seen it. FWIW I don’t think the DI is as hot on the original. You might not need the attenuator.

Are HandBox still going?

I occasionally drop in on their site to see if they have anything else coming up, perhaps in a more compact flavour, but their website has disappeared...

If I ever decide it’s not for me (which based on all the feedback on here is highly unlikely!) I’ll let you know first :)

I should think the afternoon off is fully warranted. If i was your boss i would have offered you a fully paid afternoon off with bonuses.

This is like the birth of a child. (well maybe not but it is important) :laugh1:

Don't forget to go through the setup procedure each time (sorry if you already know this).

 

And then... set the EQ to flat, pop that drive button in, set the feedback switch to the centre position, max the output gain, and brace yourself.

 

What cab are you using?

I don’t know anything so the more info the better!

I’ll be using a Barefaced Two10 mostly, maybe a Super Twin on bigger events.

Had a little play. My word. It does everything the Ashdown Little Bastard does and SO much more. So versatile. And all useable, musical tones. It sounds superb with all my basses, my favourite being the ACG TKO. Can’t wait to get it to a band situation!

That’s a great looking amp, and it fits nicely on the two 10
