    When the GK's land I might have to go to Andertons. They stock all 3, but at the moment the EBS is showing as being for Order only. If I have cash in my pocket and tell them I will be leaving with one of the amps, I wonder if they'll get the EBS in so I can do a proper comparison between the DG M900 V2 and the other options. Take my Sandberg and a BF cab down with me, maybe.

    The EBS sounded pretty good to me, but I also thought the GK had something in the lows that was a bit more grunty. Obviously difficult to tell from youtube. I've never owned an EBS or a GK so I might have to try them both. As usual finding a shop that sells both and has both in stock will be a nightmare! I do like the GK drive on the demo though. That was very nice. Quite different in character to the DG amp.

    Do you know the weight please?

    Screen grab from YT of the 800W So it's 400W at 8ohms, and the full 800W at 4ohms, 2,7, and 2 ohms. So following that the 500W must be about 250W at 8ohms, but full 500W at 4 / 2.7 / 2

    Are you sure that's right? Unlike most bass heads, the back of these actually has a settings switch depending on what cab is connected. Why go to the bother of that if the amp hasn't been built to give max power to all impedance cabs?

    Andertons are saying these will land at the end of July. I am going to wait until then until I decide on a new amp. I keep replaying the demo. Sounds great.

    The G70 and 75 are claimed at 1.5ms I think that’s the lowest I’ve ever seen quoted.

    Some can be a bit sensitive if the transmitter is very close to the bass - like the Smooth Hound and other "bug" systems. Easily solved by using a 30 cm extension cable on the bug and mounting the bug on your strap like a bigger pack would be.

    Scan every time you use it. Even when returning to the same place. I had similar issues with my G70 (same guts as the G75). Sometimes I needed channel 11 and sometimes channel 1. The difference was an ancient tumble dryer being on or not!

    Yup. Ive got a Smooth Hound and a Line 6. I even use it in the house. Stops cable related arguments with the wife!

    Old Roland Bass Cube 30. About £150 on ebay and sound fantastic.

    @warwickhunt Thank you. Will the amp do a proper Marcus Miller sound? Proper thumpy but clear?

    The Thunderfunk that is in the classifieds has me interested. I note from the manual that the TB 550-B can be run all the time without the fan, but I also found an old thread saying that the fan must be on if it is racked. Is that right? I like the idea of being able to turn the fan off at low volume - but how hot does the casing get? Enough to burn skin or be painful?

    Apparently the new ones have MB own power amp rather than the same unit everybody else uses but it’s still class D. The Little Marcus series is on try my list as the EQ is far better than the regular LM series.

    Barefaced One10 spend the other £600 on a head you like. Markbass Little Marcus, used Darkglass, Ampeg pf 500, loads of options. That cab will do low B easily.

    I’ve got some nice Nike ones that have lasted 10 years so far. i bet I spent less than you did over that time.

    Just let them dry. Binning them is a huge waste!

    Just try and sell something and the link for payment will come up.

    Bump.

    On the same rehearsal / gigs I will also be playing in other ensembles including the big band. I’m not taking two amps so whatever I get it needs to do it all.
  22. fretmeister
    I use a singe Barefaced One10 with a big band that has 25 people in it - horns / reeds / drums / piano. Powered with a Darkglass M900. So yes - it can be plenty. Depends on use and what you are fighting with.

    Selling the now discontinued and rather hard to find Mr Black Gilamondo. It's a Phaser, Jim, but not as you know it. The secret is in the BONUS knob which does all manner of things to a normal phaser sound. It's in excellent condition with the box and the paperwork Here's a demo by PGS Andy: It's a brilliant phaser for guitar and bass. Looking for £120 including signed for delivery in the UK ta

    Couldn't find a feedback thread for @MarkE so here it is! Mark bought my Precision, and all went perfectly. Good to meet you!

    These are great. The V1 Anyway, which this is. Really good and dirt cheap too! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Danelectro-Cool-Cat-Fuzz-CF-1-V1-Frantone-Peach-Fuzz-Clone-Big-Muff-Style/401795822467?hash=item5d8ce5b383:g:wFQAAOSw1UFdEmcD
