Get a guitar one , a friend of mine had an absurdly expensive all valve usa one which sounded great with his bass with tweaks. Alternatively get a Behringer v bass rackmount preamp for 135 quid and see if it works for you😁😁

… love it, great idea 👍🏻

No. They don't. There will be a THD% accompanying the X Watts at 1kHz. That will tell you how much distortion the amp suffers at that output. The lower the better.

As in it might get in the way of one's technique rather than a lack of technique?

I got divorced. That solved that.

@JPJ She is her New House. She spend rest of her life in recording studio - the best place for her Beauty. She works perfectly. Tone is beautiful - fast, punchy, clear, articulate and aggressive if needed ...and much better than in any other SWR (I had almost all models). This is simply the best bass amp in the world for Clean HIFi sound. Because of symmetrical Tuner Our working as Second DI and symmetrical FX loop - She is ultimate studio AMP. This allows recording both DI and Post EQ and perfect work as power amp for reamping and for other preamps. I mix DI and post EQ signals on FX loop plus add a little bit of Bass intensifier and therefore no modification of Aural Enhancer is needed - She have tons of low mids - which was always a problem with SWR. Very clever engineering. The said She will always love You. I take of her - she will record many albums with great music I hope.

I quite happily practice at home with a Tecamp Puma 900 - a 900W class D head - into a Barefaced Supermidget. It's not too loud....the amp has volume knobs - they work both ways. I use the same rig in rehearsals but on larger stages i replace the Supermidget with my Super12T.

It certainly looks nice, I don’t think I’ve ever played a slab body before, with it having no contours it can’t be comfortable I’d have thought

@godathunder, I think you are asking right questions. First of all, class D amps are measured in a different way than old A, AB, or B class amps. Then the distortion figures may differ a lot from manufacturer to another which offers a big variety to publish watts. Watts are funny, because everybody understands one figure - that is only faintly related to loudness. Where are discussions about sensitivity (dB @ 1 W/m), loudness (dB), frequency response (50 - 4000 Hz ±6 dB) and so on? The only reasonable way to measure loudness sure requires a system (amp + cab). Sometimes it would be very eye opening to arrange an open air test session where anybody could bring a system to the place and then someone with decent equipment and noise source would make measurements.

We had a song about Dee-Dee, but changed a few of lyrics and it became 'Supermodel in Cocaine Shocker!'. Go figure. 1-2-3-4!

Wild? I was bloody livid.

Was Gerald wild when you captured him…..

CD sale went sweetly. Top Basschatter!🙏

Oh my. I'm going through a bit of a Steven Wilson crush at the moment. I feel the guy seems to have invented a machine that does 72 hour, ten day weeks. Just staggered at his output. That said, Headphone Dust, his online store. Just seems to be a great opportunity for SW to bypass whatever label he's on and just issue audio. I bought his The Raven... album; £15 buys the ATMOS/5.1, stereo versions, videos, demos and artwork. He's also going to be issuing live stuff in spatial audio as well. The spatial audio is in MKV format (essentially a digital container similar to that you'd get if you ripped a Blu-ray or DVD) and will just play back through a home cinema system. Just push it up to a NAS and use Plex. Easy! Part of me genuinely hopes he expands this store to include other artists that he works with as well.

Drooling for Luce Love the form factor and what it brings you.. But my shallow pocket don't allow
