  1. In addition to one 10" cabinet not going to be enough, this head is really underpowered. And by that I mean that any other similarly rated head will bury it volume vise.
    I played it through a very efficient Eden 410XLT cabinet and I had the output clip light all the time. And we weren't that loud.

    Price-wise, it is a good deal and you will love it for sessions that don't require a lot of volume.

    Completely disagree, the BH250 is a really quiet amp and useless in a full band environment. I am currently running a Mark Bass LM3 and an EBS Reidmar and I would say that the Reidmar into a 4ohm cab is louder!

    Calling me a liar? :) Just kidding.

    No I didn't compare BH250 to Reidmar. I compared it to 350W Ampeg SVT3 Pro, in order to back up my theory that watts don't tell how loud the amp is. Here it is on top of Ampeg (provided as a backline) that served as an amp stand for the whole gig. :)

    I shared my experience with EBS Fafner, HD350 and HD650. I never tried Redimar, but I've read elsewhere that it is loud, and that agrees with what you said, but it also goes in line with what I said - watts don't tell how loud amp gets.
    All that said. I'm telling you how I experienced EBS line of amps. If you disagree with me, I'm totally fine with that. But I think it's fair that OP hears a different part of the story.

  3. I know, but it wasn't a fair comparison when my 250W TC BH250 smoked 350W Ampeg SVT III PRO through 4ohm Ampeg 410HLF neither - I couldn't believe how much louder TC was.

    Sorry, I really don't want to look like a smartass, but my point is that watts don't tell how loud will amp get. There are numerous other factors. It's like how both TC RH450 and RH750 are actually 236W heads, but RH750 sounds louder.

    I have a ShuttleMax 9.2 now and I love it. Unfortunately, I don't have that 4x10" cabinet anymore, so I can't tell how exactly loud it gets compared to other heads.

  4. I see that it's a losing battle, but I'll give you my unbiased experience. I have had three heads that share the similar power @ [b]4[/b] ohms (around 500W): TC RH450, Markbass LMII, GK Fusion 550. While, EBS heads give around 350W @ 4ohms, the difference in power should be negligible (1-1.5 dB), but it wasn't. GK was much louder than the rest of them, followed by Markbass and TC, and EBS watts always seemed quiet to me.

    Taking in consideration that 2ohm action is super rare occasion for majority of bass players, power at 4 and 8 ohm is what matters the most. Again, my opinion, my experience.

  5. My experience with EBS was exact opposite from what everybody says here. Call me liar, but they always seemed underpowered considering their rating. I owned Fafner and played HD350 and HD650 on numerous occasions.
    And, yes I know about cabinet impedance and how they give max power at 2ohms.

  6. My Aria Pro II Precise is the best jazz bass I've had the privilege to hold in my hands. Mine was modified a lot (new pickups, electronics, frets, nut, bridge), but what matters the most is the wood. It's the exact copy of 70's Fenders and plays better than a few that I've tried.

  7. Thank you!
    I guess what bugs me most is that I can't tell if everything is original, as I don't have any other pic to compare it to. The route above the P pickup looks suspicious (one where it says "Stereo").
    Also, routes for P pickup look to big - maybe the metal surroundings is missing?

  8. Can you please help mi with this: I googled for 3 hours and I couldn't find anything about this vintage Hoyer bass:

    Album: [url="http://imgur.com/a/t3Ayl"]http://imgur.com/a/t3Ayl[/url]

    I can't figure out if everything is original. The owner says it has been refinished at some point, but I can't tell for the rest of the bass. Does anybody has any idea? Do you think 120€ is a fair price?

    Thank you!

  9. I tried it in the shop yesterday, through TC RS210 cabinet and I really liked how it sounded. With master set at 1 o'clock it wasn't loud as I expected. In it's defense, it looks like master knob works in linear fashion, meaning that it doesn't max out at 12 o'clock as some other amps. It seems that it has a lot more of juice to give.

    I'm seriously thinking about purchasing, but I'm afraid it won't be loud enough. To clarify it - I have a "big rig" (Fusion 550 + Eden 410XLT) for outdoor venues. What I need is a small amp that will be used in conjunction with Markbass 102HF (2x10", front ported) cab for small venues. Markbass Little Mark II that I used to own was perfect for that, and I never had to push it.

    Has anybody had the chance to compare it to Little Mark II/III @ 8 ohms load?

  10. This is my first post on this forum.

    Anyway, I have a beautiful Warwick Streamer Stage I Pro hand-built in West Germany in 1990. This is one of the good old ones. Very comfortable neck, low action, endless sustain... You know it all. It was upgraded to active EMG pickups and Aguilar OBP-3 electronics by previous owner. A passive tone control has been added and pickups and electronics are wired for a 18V.

    Bass is in perfect shape for a 22 year old instrument and I'm selling it only because it doesn't fit in my band's sound. Additionally, I've lost my pedalboard recently and I need funds to buy pedals for the new one.

    You can check the hi-res pictures on the following link: [url="https://picasaweb.google.com/113007184889982774211/WarwickStreamerStageI"]https://picasaweb.go...kStreamerStageI[/url]

    Since I don't have a history on this forum, you can check me on talkbass.com under username [b]goran[/b]. Also, feel fry to check my ebay account [b]discotetak[/b].

    Now the price: due to urgency, I'm listing it for incredibly low [b]900€[/b]. Yes, you are reading this correct. There are honestly no flaws, it plays wonderfully, but I need the money. The sooner, the better.

    Lastly, the "bad" part. I reside in [b]Croatia[/b]. I can include a generic plastic case, but I will pack it well. I can't tell how much it would cost to ship it to UK, but I'm sure we can work out something reasonably cheap. Please keep in mind that the you will have to cover shipping costs and customs fees/VAT.

    I have a paypal account goran+mono.hr (replace + with @) and this is the payment method I prefer.

    Thank you for looking!
