I've got a MiBass 2.0 and 2 of the Mi10 cabs, the new 8 Ohm versions, and I'm mightily impressed. A lot of output for such small cabs. You need to crank the bass a bit to get some nice thick meaty low end but its all there Eude

Wood! Wood! Wood! Wood!

I've recently bought myself a MiBass 2.0 and 2 x Mi10 Cabs and I'm suitably impressed! The little 10" cabs need to be worked a bit to get a nice thick low end but it's all there. Although I'm not gigging, or even playing all that much right now, I'll get to try it with a tame band at the Moffat Bass Bash a week on Sunday. On the whole I'm enormously pleased so far. Enjoy your new rig mate! Eude

Righto, I finally got the whole thing up and running, and I'm VERY pleased. Adding the additional cab adds a whole lot more weight to the sound, again as I mentioned above, its not producing much in the way of trouser flapping lows, but treated right you can get a very thick solid low end from these little cabs So all in, this is am impressive little rig. One cab is plenty for home practice, or I can use the headphone jack if I get too many complaints from my detractors! Adding the second cab really makes this a gig ready set up, it'll easily handle a loud drummer and work perfectly for on stage monitoring at louder gigs. If, at some point, I need to shift a bit more air, I'll just pick up an Ashdown 4 Ohm 2x12 and pop the little head on top. Will try and get some pics when I can Eude

Not managed to get everything altogether in one place yet, life is a bit complicated at the moment and I was waiting for Roqsolid to send out the "Powerbag" I ordered so I could carry the cabs back from work on the train. They're compact and very light, but still not much fun on public transport or walking anything over a mile. Anyway, I got one home last night and had a quick blast this morning. The build quality is top notch, very solid indeed, especially the head, wonderfully finished and sturdy. Through headphones the amp sounds quite modern but can get quite dirty, when you dial the gain back its almost hifi, but taking it up to overdriving it sounds lovely, dirty and punchy without being too spiky if that makes sense? The gain circuit is designed to overdrive nicely rather than clip, would be cool if it was switchable, but I do appreciate the simple and uncluttered design of this little amp. Through the one cab, its not quite as "surprisingly huge for the size" as the Promethean running flat, but having said that its a very nice noise, just not quite as bassy. You can dial all that in however using the thankfully simple 3 band EQ. There's also a lot of volume on tap, seemingly more than the Promethean. If all goes well, I'll get the second cab home tonight and give the whole thing a go tomorrow morning. I reckon two of these cabs will be pretty powerful and the whole modular thing should give me everything I could need for a little while. I'll be back once I've had a plonk through the whole rig.

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1394016875' post='2386876'] Alan would probably make your dream bass at about £1000 less than your budget...and it would easily be as good as anything on the market at any higher price point. [/quote] Entirely my experience, I've played basses 2 and 3 times the cost of my ACGs and most didn't even come close

Yup, give Alan at ACG a shout, he can make you your dream bass within your budget! Eude

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1392944775' post='2374644'] Can you post an impression on the Promethean vs Mibass rigs? [/quote] Of course mate I'm currently stuck, as I got the rig delivered to my work and need to get it home a piece at a time on public transport, a great test for the portability, but I need a bag for the cabs, before I can do it. I've ordered one of these >> http://amplifiercoversonline.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=107_90&products_id=3446 Hopefully it'll be here next week and I can get the thing home and set up! So far, one thing I can comment on is the build quality. The head and cabs are VERY nicely made, very solid. The cabs are about the same size as my old Promethean combo, near enough anyway. Was a little disappointed to see no Speakon jack, but I guess you can't have everything. I'm expecting big things from this little rig and I get the feeling I'm not going to be disappointed In a few weeks I'll be taking it up to Scotland for the Moffat Bass Bash, so I'll get to try it out at war volume with a tame band, so I'll report back after that too. Cheers, Eude

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1392812155' post='2372947'] 100% agree. Just paying for a distributor. I would buy more Aggie gear, but the fact I bought a DB212 brand new for £650 and the latest DB112s are almost that is just...crackers. [/quote] Yup, if money was no object, I'd likely have an Aggie rig, or certainly a couple of GS112 cabs that's for sure, but having bought a GS112 new several years ago for a little more than £300, the new prices make me actually wince! I'll stick with what I've got for now I reckon Eude

Nice, I've just ordered one for my new Ashdown Mi10 cabs. Will likely get another one if it works out well, which I imagine it will based on your experience. I went for the foam upgrade too Eude

Happy now?...

Nice

Fantastic mate Unlined fretless?... Eude

The Aggie prices have gone up a hell of a lot, I guess that's what happens when you involve a distributor. Real shame, it puts their cabs out of reach for potentially quite a lot of people.

Bloody couriers. Continuing my "good luck" this year, the courier was a complete no show on Friday, hopefully something will appear on Monday.

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1392218641' post='2366085'] Just checked. It appears that all Genz Benz and new Fender Rumble amps use the same Bang & Olufsen designed power sections, so Genz Benz innards are now in rumble amps :-) [/quote] Very interesting dude. I would be tempted, but I've just dropped some cash on a different setup, but I'll watch out for these with interest

Very nice mate!

"This space" should have some news on Friday

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1392059963' post='2364239'] Not entirely sure about specifics. I'll find out for you. Our rep just said 'we're putting the Genz Benz innards into the new rumble range'... [/quote] Good man.

Love dat bass! Fingers crossed for you mate

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1391902728' post='2362586'] Had a word with one of the guys from Fender about these at work. Theyre basically all the Genz Benz innards (components) repackaged. Looks like a really nice little range to me :-) [/quote] Does that mean the 200 model has the same power section as the old 300W Shuttle, and the 500, has the 600W Shuttle bits/bobs? Cheers, Ewan
