Beedster Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Original Basschat listing here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/283338-sold-wem-dominator-bass-mk1/page__p__3070219__hl__wem__fromsearch__1#entry3070219"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry3070219[/url] I'm having to move on some stuff from the studio as, despite what I was told when I had it built, the laws of physics do still apply, and apparently I can't fit more gear inside that there is space in which to fit it. So, we're starting a project soon that will require more space and more - if smaller and more specialised - gear, hence I need this gone sharpish. This is a glorious amp, rich creamy tone and loud as f**k. This unit personifies the 'old watts are better than new watts' idea. OK, it ain't pretty, but then neither am I (or is my bass playing) so we got along just fine (having said that it's in very very good cosmetic and functional condition). The price is ludicrous for such a good amp and around £150 less than I paid. Put this alongside a B-15 and you really won't notice a whole lot of difference. I'll be sorry to see it go but not it gone sharpish (and collected from Canterbury), hence the price. Will add pics later, pics in the earlier thread should do the trick FTB.

Beedster Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 I've had a few questions re volume. To my ear it's loud. It holds it own against the type of guitarists and drummers I tend to gig with, and in small venues (pubs). It's certainly not a bedroom/living room combo; even at lowest volume it still kicks out some dBs (whilst it looks quite small in the pics, it's got a pretty big frontal area around the 15" speaker). In short, it's totally giggable, and goes VERY loud for a 25w combo, but is not an SVT. Chris
three Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 This looks to be in amazing condition for its age. I love these - I've just almost no use for it at all and the rational bit of me (the bit that I work hard, and frequently successfully, to suppress) is remaining firm...for now. Incredible price too in my opinion

johnbiffa Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Great amp (I had one when I first started playing bass and it was in no where near as good condition as this !) Buy from Chris with confidence and someone will get a real bargain !

ash Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 A lovely amp that I'd certainly snap up .... if you were nearer to me
Steve Browning Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 These are also ridiculously good guitar amps too.
Twincam Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 [quote name='Steve Browning' timestamp='1499002114' post='3328480'] These are also ridiculously good guitar amps too. [/quote] Indeed they are. There's no difference at all in the circuit other than a driver change from the guitar version. I had one of these a mk2 version which was basically the same bar for cosmetics. And I loved it for recording certain things. They have a great valve tone and response.
Beedster Posted July 13, 2017 Author Posted July 13, 2017 I could use this gone really, I've decided I don't need it and I'm trying to re-organise the studio, so it's now sitting in the house getting in the way. Lots of interest but no action so far
