I have an Eden WT400 into one or two Aguilar 112's. In truth it's usually into one because I'm too bone-idle to take two to a gig. The problem is that with only one cab the Eden struggles for juice and starts clippin' at higher volumes. The question is do I..... 1) stop being so bone-idle and take both cabs to give a 4 Ohm rig (and hopefully a bit more Oooommpphh) 2) get a 4 Ohm cab (there's a nice Eden 210 XST on here at the mo) 3) get an amp that has more on tap into 8 Ohms ???? What d'ya reckon ???

I was only reading that thread last night as well. :

Have a look at this... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BASS-GUITAR-Fender-Precision-Bass-August-13th-1966_W0QQitemZ280122888772QQihZ018QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BASS-GUITAR-Fender-P...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] I may be off the mark with this, but it smells a little bit fishy. For a start I've checked on Fender and it says that a 1966 bass should have a 100 000 or 200 000 serial number. Is this another dodgy Fender on e-bay?

That has to be one of the most fancy, yet tasteful pieces of playing I've ever seen and that's not BS'ing you. A fantastic mix of melody with rhythm. It makes such a refreshing change to see someone not trying to prove they're a great player by playing slap licks at 1000mph. Hat's off to ya' fella!

I have to say it's another one of those 'try 'em all out' situations. You might just be a GK guy, but you'll never know until you've played the Ampeg and Aguilar. From what I've heard, the Ampeg and Aguilar could sound quite different. Let us know which one you go for.

I know this is a bit sad, but I was looking very closely at a EB Musicman add featuring Paul Turner of Jamiroquai who uses the DB750. Once I'd figured that the bass/mid/treble controls are actually the other way round to usual (i.e. treble-mid-bass) I saw that he has his treble and mid both turned down to about 9 or 10 o'clock. Don't know whether this is of any relevance or help whatsoever, but thought I'd let you know anyhow! PS I'm as jealous as a very jealous thing that you have a DB750.

I've recently been listening to some Queen stuff again and I have to agree with acidbass that his playing is just so ...... appropriate. He's not out there to show off, but does exactly what the songs need and in a very simple but classy way. Top bass geezer!

Gadget, I used to run it through an MB Traveller 4x10 which really wasn't a great sound, then I got my Aguilar 1x12's which I love. I really like the Eden, but I find the 235W into 8Ohms just isn't enough sometimes. I'm also not sure if the warmth of the Eden through the 1x12's limits the ability to cut through the mix a little.

The one I had was the same as the Yellow one apart from the colour. To me it always sounded rather flat and a bit dull really, the complete opposite to what so many people seem to be saying about the new MB gear.

I used to own one of the old MB Little Mark F1's (in bright red). At the time it just didn't do it for me, but I'm now in the market for something with a bit more ooomph than my Eden WT400 (into 8 Ohms). Do the newer MB amps sound the same as the older ones or has it changed at all with the updated power section etc..? Andy
