    [quote name='jjl5590' post='308928' date='Oct 17 2008, 09:28 PM']Hey guys, Finally got a working Profet 3.2, and thought i'd do a quick review of it. I am using it with a Warwick WCA 211 Pro cabinet. Pros: It looks great. It is very easy to use Sounds awesome Has a speakon output (which not many do for this price) Cons: Really my only concern is its volume. It is rated at 300W at 4ohms, and it is running at 8ohms with my one cab, so it should be putting out a minimum of at least 150W. It is not much louder than my 20W Stagg practice amp. It has more low end, but i feel this is because of more (bigger) speakers (the Stagg has a single 8"). The amp clips very quickly, and I have to have the gain nob at 1 o'clock. Any more and it will just clip like crazy. There is little volume change throughout the volume spectrum, and I feel it is just an underpowered head for the rated 300W (or 150W in my case). My school's Carlsbro Bass Bomber, with a single 15" speaker and rated at 125W is FAR louder than what I am getting. Resolution: I will most definitly buy another cab (a 4x10 probably) to increase speaker surface area and bring the impadence down to 4ohms. But in the long run, I cant see myself gigging with this amp for very long before upgrading it.[/quote] Mine was plenty loud with a 4ohm cab. Probably not the loudest 300w but i rehearsed and gigged it loads with no trouble.

    So assuming I buy the Warwick ProFet 3.2 +1 for this choice for a cheap, quality, 300W head. I bought mine from Thomann and had no trouble with them. If you wanted to penny pinch even further, you could buy mine, it's absurdly cheap!!

    That's interesting to know. I'm currently playing a borrowed £385 Gear 4 Music bass that is really hard to play (the action is super high and I don't want to spend any money fixing something that's not mine). I've played double bass before but not for a long time. I've got a restored old German bass back home in Australia which is too expensive to ship and I haven't played for years. I've got the urge now but the borrowed bass is hampering my enjoyment. I've sold some gear and now have about £400 to spend on a new bass but I'm in a bit of a no mans land stuck between rubbish entry level basses and 'decent' used instruments at £1000-ish. It sounds like yours is a good buy, would it be worth spending any extra on their more expensive ones?

    [quote name='Gazm' post='307507' date='Oct 16 2008, 12:09 AM']2 winds anything else is a waste and goes outta tune.[/quote] Has anyone else cut the extra string, thinking smugly to themselves how much more superior they are, then found out it doesn't wind even once and won't hold tune and therefore is entirely wasted and you need to go and buy another string but you're recording and you've only just got enough time so you leg it down to the local (overpriced) music shop and buy another single (overpriced and unmatching) string and ever since have a minor anxiety attack every time you go to cut the extra length? No? Me neither!

    Hello, I hate to be the first reply and then plug my sale(!), but my EBS 15" would fit the bill. [post="0"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27601[/post] It's not super lightweight but easily coped with small to medium gigs. It's got an adjustable tweeter and will handle 400W. Nice and smooth sound, too. Oh, it's really cheap as it's got a small hole in the speaker that doesn't affect it in any way except cosmetically. Either way, youll get lots of advice. Adrian

    Hi, Looking for the (gulp) cheap newbie bass and this model came up. Has anyone played a Tatra bass by Rosetti and can they tell me whether it's worth a drive or not?? Thanks. Adrian

    The gig that made me get my own rig was a borrowed 50W Crate combo. It was SO underpowered! The gig also suffered as it was a party (for someone I didn't know) and most people were content to hang out in the toilet and do charlie all night. Then night bus home! I also played a gig in Brixton through a 25W FENDER (guitar) amp slaved through some other small guitar amp. Fun? Not really! Can't wait to gig my new Roland DB500 (150W) to see if it's the lowest I can gig with happily.

    Bump for a buyer M.I.A and a rig still for sale. Please buy this and let me get my own double bass!

    I'm not sure about keys, but these guys seem to have everything else, if you need to be in SE London. My band were going to check them out but they're pretty pricey for SE London.

    Hello, Just bought a DB500 and it's great. Sounds much louder than its 150W, easily gets over the top of our loud drummer. Tone is great (I use electric and double bass) and the programs mean you can switch easily between 2 or 3 sounds. I was worried it wouldn't cope with gigs but I'm not any more!

    Bump, Cab still available. It's really good, despit the hole!

    Hi, Im in King and Country (formerly Capelilos). We're kind of indie/ska/pop/rockish. Doing lots of accoustic gigs and I've picked up the double bass again. It's big!! [topic="0"]here's our myspace[/topic] The accoustic thing is called frogmonkey. True! [topic="0"]Check it out here[/topic] Adrian

    Bought Pete's Roland DB500 combo off him. He went out of his way to help ship it to me and did a very nice deal. Prompt and accurate communication and when the amp arrived it was packaged beautifully with no transit worries. All up, thanks fella!! Adrian PS The amp sounds great with double bass, giving it an electric workout tonight!

    I've got a 97 model back home in Oz. If it's got the same pickup/preamp it's fantastic. Cut or boost bass, mids and treble independantly and control volume of either pickup. Have a BUMP on me!

    Hi all, Due to my band playing loads of acoustic gigs and me playing a borrowed double bass, I'm downsizing my rig to allow the purchase of my own double bass. [attachment=13404:DSC_0307.JPG] [u][b]Warick Pro Fet 3.2[/b][/u] This is a 300W into 4 ohm solid state head. Adjustable and switchable compressor. Switches for deep and bright. Rotary controls for bass, low-mid, hi-mid, treble. Variable contour control. Phones jack, DI out (switchable pre/post). Mute switch (non remote) Rear panel: groundlift switch, tuner out, line out (post master), effects loop. Speaker out: 1 XLR, 1 Speakon Weight: 25.3 lbs. / 11.5 kg Depth: 14.76 in. / 375 mm [attachment=13405:DSC_0308.JPG] [attachment=13406:DSC_0314.JPG] It has a very warm sound (one engineer mistook it for "a high-end piece of valve kit"!) that is very adaptable via the tone shaping controls. It's been back to the factory once due to cutting out but was fixed under warranty and hasn't missed a beat since (over a year ago). Has been gigged and has very minor scratches. [u][b][color="#FF0000"]Sold pending payment.[/color][/b][/u] [u][b]EBS Proline 2000 15" 400W 4 0hm cab[/b][/u] The cab has a 15" driver with an adjustable horn. It is quite compact for a 15 but not that light!Frequency Response 50 - 18k Hz Sensitivity 103 dB Power Rating 400 W RMS Impedance 4 ohms - you'll get all of the 300W from the head. Volume 84 liters Height 51 cm / 20" Width 58 cm / 23" Depth 44 cm / 17" Weight 28 kg / 62 lbs [attachment=13407:DSC_0311.JPG] The driver has a hole that was caused by a hi-hat stand slipping through the grill and puncturing the cone. It's less than 1cm accross and 0.5 cm wide. [attachment=13408:DSC_0312.JPG] I've sought professional advice and it's very easy to fix but it hasn't altered the sound so I haven't repaired it. I'll include the patches and glue for anyone that wants it. Apart from the hole(!) the cab is in great nick. [u][b][color="#FF0000"]Sold [/color].[/b][/u]
