4&5 String Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) This was my EDEN 800A which I loved. Loved the A and B series as the C had problems. It flew out the back of my truck coming home from a gig. When I arrived I didn't see it and the back door latch was opened. When I got back to the gig (about 30 miles away) it was all over the street. It was in a rack. Not long ago I picked up a older WT 550 and love it. Like the hybrids. Many still are light enough yet have a nice tube warmth. Edited November 5, 2020 by 4&5 String 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandad Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Starting to get itchy about trying an Elf. I could sell one of my TC BH250. I blame STEWBLACK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I just bought a BAM200 for around the house. It was £90, its really loud and sounds fine, I am rather impressed, it fits in the front pocket of a gig bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second-hand, or have you found a really cheap source? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassmanPaul Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 For me the best Class D amp I've ever used is a Carvin 2KW Stereo power amp driven by the tube pre-amp I designed and built to push it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Both my Little Marks were analogue versions, so my Elf is my one and only class D. It's tiny, weighs nothing, and sounds great through my BF One10. So my extrememly limited experience so far is overwhelmingly positive! Edit: and it came in its own little handbag. Sweet!

thebassist Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Once, and assuming, we eventually get back to being able to perform live properly again, I'm leaning towards pairing an Acoustic Image Clarus SL-2 with a Barefaced FRFR Super Midget.

Muppet Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Had a Darkglass M900 v2 that was feature packed but I just couldn't get it to work for me. Bought a RM800 EVO II as a backup to my ABM600 and am using it all the time, it is such a great amp 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly good I agree. With both those in your stable what more do you want? One niggly point is the notched volume pot but I’m sure if I asked nicely and brought donuts they’d swap that out.

Lozz196 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The notched pots are also on my new ABM600, but weren’t on the old one. I like them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be awesome. Glad to hear you’ll be back playing through a rig that you think so highly of. A friend has kindly offered to lend me his ABM600 for a couple of weeks, to A/B it against some other amps. Really looking forward to doing that, once travel restrictions relax enough for me to actually go collect it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find both the ABM Pro NEO 210 and 112 cabs intriguing. Very tempting for the millions of gigs I’m doing 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that one of the B-Stock ones from Polar Audio which I'd been eyeing on ebay? I too am intrigued by these even though I don't need any more amps and love my Class D RM800!
