    I'm learning a lot on this thread so far and obviously @Reggaebass has explained it best Dave

    I'm curious how bass amp wattage is calculated. For years i've never understood how all-valve amp wattage is far lower than SS or even Class D. 100W valve appears to be as loud as a 600W Class D. Anyone offer anything ? Dave

    Yep i think i'm gonna hang in there for the HB. It cant be far away now. Of course i said that about the Mesa TT800 i ordered and that didn't end well for me. 😂 Dave

    Been looking at the YBA300 on BC but its 24" wide and my cabs are 19-20" so the overhang would be unsafe and look a bit daft to be honest. Where did you get your YBA200 ? I've had no response from Traynor at all. Dave Not really looking for overdriven sound but sometimes a little grunt to take the edge off is nice. Dave

    Sent Traynor an email to see if they supply anywhere in UK but after a week i've had no reply. The YBA 100 and 200 look nice. Some really nice features on them. Dave

    What's the amp you're using. Can make out the Ampeg and GK cabs but not the amp. Dave

    100% agree. Its great to see a UK manufacturer taking this on. Bass amps that bass players actually want rather than what the companies think they want. Huge respect to @Stoneham for doing it and joining in the discussion to keep us informed. If only all bass amp companies could be like this. Dave 👍

    Jings that's a bargain. 2off Mesa SW112 cabs for £900. These should go really fast at that price and in perfect condition looking at the pics. Love my 210/115 Mesa cabs or i would have snapped these up. Dave

    100% a bit of an amp legend. It has so many features. If i wasn't waiting on my new amp i might have gone for this. Dave

    Might be worth showing a pic of the inside and the transformer as it could help someone decide. The external transformer you are using looks a bit on the hefty side. I had a smaller one for the Ampeg SVT i eventually got converted. Dave

    Ha Ha Ha Owen my comment was in response to yours earlier in the thread but just realised it was dated 2021. Dave
  12. dmccombe7
    Liking that bass rig tho. If you get bored with the HB i'll take it Dave
  13. dmccombe7
    Had an Ampeg SVT4 Pro US built and external transformer. Local tech changed out the transformer completely with part supplied from Ampeg. Was back in 2012 and cant remember what cost was for the Ampeg transformer. Looks like a fantastic amp too. Dave

    CUrious how loud it gets. Does it cope ok when up against loud rock guitarists. ? Dave
  15. dmccombe7
    Not seen one in a case like that before. Looks very nice indeed. Mpulse is the best amp i've ever owned in 45yrs of playing. You dont just hear a Mesa, you feel it too. An amazing depth of tone. If i didnt already have one i'd be looking to buy this. Great price for one like this. GLWTS Dave
  16. dmccombe7
    If i buy one it will be used with Mesa Subway 210/115 cabs Dave

    Something i have seen recently is the Traynor all valve range that have a really nice feature that should a valve go down the amp shuts down that set of valves and allows you to continue the gig albiet at lower volume. I can see that being a big advantage with the larger 300W all tube head but the 100W head might be too much of a volume drop but i like the idea that the amp will keep running. They also have a bias control on the rear of the amp with led's to show correct biasing. That would also be a nice feature to have. Dave
  18. dmccombe7
    Yep i clocked that too. Was a bit surprised to say the least and not something i'd buy at that price. Dave

    Now that's a bit better than the one i saw which was like a mirrored front panel. I'll definitely keep an eye on this thread. Have to say that i like the look of the HB WB-100 with the metal front and wooden case. It combines modern with traditional really well. An all metal case for a full valve amp i'm not 100% sold on but once i see the final product that could change. Its great to see UK companies stepping up to the plate and producing an amp that bass players want rather than what the companies think they want. All credit to Stoneham for taking this on. Big plus from my point of view. Dave

    I'm interested altho i prefer the more modern look of the Handbox WB-100 to the Ashdown or the 1200 amp shown above. For me the HB valve amp has already been up and running and shown to be more than loud enough as a gigging amp and i'd be wary of taking an unproven amp. By the time this project gets up and running i may already have my WB-100 that i've registered interest with Handbox. Also price will play a major part if comparing against the HB WB-100. Also my cabs are approx 19" wide too and dont want an overhang if i can help it. Will follow this post very closely. Dave

    No comment. I have my reputation to keep Dave
  22. dmccombe7
    I laughed anyways even with a spalling mistook it was still a wee laughable moment albiet at @Max Normal expense. Hope he saw the funny side too. Dave
  23. dmccombe7
    If its the same band i found they have a gig tonight in The Railway. What bit were you reading @EBS_freak i cant find it. Dave
  24. dmccombe7
    It wont come to much with that guys attitude. Making a successful gigging tribute band takes a lot of dedication and hard work and by sound of it he isn't really suited to that. Rehearsals are for fine tuning the songs and ironing out any little nuances a band has, not to teach a new guitarist / keys player how to play. That annoys the heck out of me when members waste time at rehearsals. I view rehearsals as work, head down bum up and i'm there to get things done with occasional coffee breaks during a 6hr session. Sorry to hear this particular band didn't work out for you but you've done it once, best get back into it right away and show those tw**s how its done. All the best with the next project where i'm sure you'll be happier. Dave

    What band was it ? No comment on the venue name or is that the band name. The Pink Torpedoes Dave
