thanks Billy, i will next try it as a preamp into a power amp and record that, it will be good for everyone who wants a gt200 but can't afford one.

I've owned a Hiwatt Bass 100, a Marshall VBA400, an Ampeg SVT2 (non Pro) and a Trace VA350. I think the SVT was the best sounding of the lot but wasn't very loud. Did you have a chance to compare the GT200 to one of these? I'm not

[petergales]

I've had an SVT2PRO and the GT200 is way better. Much simpler and a far superior tone. Beautiful warm tones. The Matamp is much lighter, too. I found the SVT to be somewhat unreliable but I'm not expecting reliability issues with the Matamp.

How come? Why you selling?

He wants a big ass cab

I've been thinking about getting Matamp to make me a combo, discussed it the other day, they are willing but they won't put any tubes in it. Torn because there is a very cheap Walkabout combo on ebay that would be awesome for my needs but would much rather stay with Matamp, always met my needs better than the Mesa stuff I had in the past.

Who knows, going to go down next weekend and try their 1x12 cab.

[quimbymeat]

Yeah billy i don't have a bass cabinet at the moment so i want to get a Matamp 810

[umcoo]

A Matamp combo would be a thing of beauty...pester them Ste, pester them!!

preamp is now on ebay

Probably should sort your keywords there. DI pre amp amplifier preamplifier direct input injection interface, however much of that will fit, spaces instead of slashes because those make searching bad.

[quimbymeat]

cheers mate

[DB13]

Alright guys, just joined up to the forum - thought I'd smash a picture up of this beauty. The GT200 is defiantly the one, just looking for a 1x15 to go with it now. Tonesville.

.

...Excuse the mess haha.

[tayste_2000]

Picked up two new babies at the weekend, I'm now the proud owner of Quimby's Meat DI and a Bass Modified Minimat Pro for use at home.

Not taking any pictures at the moment as I'm getting the headcases changed on both and a new faceplate for the Meat preamp.

But yes I have a beautiful 4w amp running into my matamp 4x6 cab at home and it's such a beautiful sound so rich and full but capable of crazy gain noises all without annoying the neighbours.

Pics in the next few weeks, hell might even go down next weekend to get it done

[tayste_2000]

Ah sod it,



Red headcase will be changed for black in the next few weeks and the cab will get a dusting, it is used a lot, it's just not moved a lot

[Ricksflynn]

They look absolutely stunning! Want want want!

[quimbymeat]

If anyone who is In Scotland and near Glasgow can come try out my new Matamp gt200mk2. I don't have a cabinet at the moment so we can either go to a practice space or you can bring a cabinet. pm me your email if you are interested.

this amp is a beast.

I also have photos of the new matamp mini bass with the handwired preamp and digital power section that i can email you.

[DB13]

Ahh man, I saw the pictures of the MKII on the Matamp facebook earlier, defo' wet for that haha.

How does it compare to the original then Quimby?

DB13, I am rubbish at writing or reviews but i wrote some patter of the dragged into sunlight thread.

[Amo]

I can't believe that I still haven't posted here.

Here's my current Matamp rig. GT200 + 610:



Here it is next to my guitar player's one (GT1 + 212):



And here's the review we made of our amps that some of you may already have seen on Matamp's website:

Keep an eye out guys I've had most of mine stolen from the Stockport area last night.

If someone can post it on the Matamp forum that would be great

Just posted the link. Forum is pretty dead and spammed up though. Will also stick on my Ampstack Facebook page.

[tayste_2000]

Cheers dude,

I've got insurance in place, obviously the Bass 200 is pretty irreplaceable but they also don't make the 2 band one so if anyone wants to sell one let me know as I'd be interested to get it and then modify it to my old specs.

[quimbymeat]

I am sure the factory could make you a one off gt200 mk1 at your spec like the last one but lets all keep an eye out and hunt them down
