[quote name='obbm' post='320185' date='Nov 2 2008, 02:59 PM']Actually I thought I'd bought an EBS Microbass [/quote] another +1 for obbm, 2 cables ordered arrived promptly and are doin' their jobs!

Are you not interested in a 15" cabinet? I used one with my PreFet 3.2 and loved the sound. 15s and 2 x 10s go well together!

I get a drum kit, guitar and guitar amp (1 x 12 combo) jazz bass in a agig bag, warwick Profet head, EBS 15" cab and a double bass in my Peugeot 406 SEDAN!

[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?

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

Thanks Pete, Twas a pleasure!! Adrian

[quote name='Rayman' post='293580' date='Sep 27 2008, 07:57 PM']It was mine, and I miss it terribly, superb amp. Leftysteve......thoughts are with your family.[/quote] Many thanks for it, it's a fine product!!

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.

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!

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!
