Someone really needs to buy this & relieve Nick the temptation of giving it another go at his next gig, lol. Knowing Nick, as I do, I can definitely say that if he says it's a 'good 'un' then it most certainly will be

[quote name='dood' post='529465' date='Jul 1 2009, 11:58 AM']Would love to see the 902 in a 'bridgeable' model. That would be a veritable monster![/quote] Umm, 1,800 watts worth of clean bass power, that would be nice to fire up & fry a few people with

Thanks Gareth, My fault, the current online Epi site is showing the 902 without a limiter on the lower pic but the detailed part at the top of the site shows it with the limiter! [url="http://www.epifani.com/products/ul902.php"]http://www.epifani.com/products/ul902.php[/url] I'm only asking to check on dates of release really - I'd probably never even use the damn thing, lol.

Hi Gareth, Am I right in thinking the 902 only comes as a rack mounted option - unlike the 502 which has detachable rack ears & a custom fit gig bag if you don't want to use the ears? Also does it have the limiter circuit control next to the master volume? My 502 doesn't have this but I know the latest models do.

Ok, not much movement on this so I've knocked £50 off the price Have been playing it a lot the last couple of days, sounds great with the valve pre up at around 2 o'clock & the main output wound down to 9 o'clock & then some mids boosted at 480Hz. Using my Spector into this and then onto a pair of Berg 1x12's this gives a really nice driving growl - I ahve a feeling I may be upsetting my neighbours a little Hard to explain but this sounds louder than a 400w head should, maybe it's just because it's able to push such a clean signal through the Demeter pre into the power stage!

Had some interesting trade options but nothing that would really 'work' for me. If anyone wants to make a straight cash offer then fire away - you never know what I might accept

Just checking - are you saying TC sent you a complete repalcement cab (with working speakers) and told you to keep the old one (with one damaged speaker)? Sorry if this sounds obvious but I read your original post a few times before coming to this conclusion. First couple of times it sounded to me that they'd sent you simple a replacement speaker &, for some reason, you hadn't fitted it

Ok everyone, here's an interesting little baby full of classic valve goodness without weighing a ton! This is an early Eden head that came fitted with a genuine Demeter pre-amp. Rumour has it that David Eden had to drop the Demeter because it was simply too expensive to fit one in one of his production heads. Only 'name' player I've heard about with one of these is Mike Watt - who's a pretty cool bass guy I think Basic specs are: 400w into 4 ohms 4 Band EQ with switchable frequencies (more on these later) Compressor "Studio Quality" with variable controls for threshold and ratio Effects Loop Active & Passive inputs Variable direct out There's a full user manual here : [url="http://www.eden-electronics.com/info/manuals/pdf/VT25-VT40-VT75%20-%20Owners%20Manual.pdf"]http://www.eden-electronics.com/info/manua...rs%20Manual.pdf[/url] It's been recently serviced and had a full valve test and is in generally great condition. Has a few nicks here & there from where it's been in and out of racks but it was made in '92 and personally I think they just add some 'mojo', lol. The front panel is very clean indeed and all the knobs etc. look pretty much perfect. The only downside that I can find is that it has a low frequency 'hum' from the transformer at very low volumes. Once the master volume is beyond about 9 o'clock the hum fades away. Again, on a purely personal basis, this hum doesn't bother me once I start playing as it just disappears below the volume of the bass itself, even at very low volumes. So - on to the funky tone control options. . . The first thing to say is that I'd defy anyone to get a 'bad' sound out of this amp! The tone controls themselves are very gentle and allow a really precise 'sculpting' of each individual frequency. However the really cool functions are the four flick switch options for each tone control. Simply flicking each switch changes the frequency at which the controls work but also changes the actual sound of the amp itself. There's a partial explanation of some of this in the user manual. My personal favourite is the mid frequency switch - flicking from 240 Hz to 480 Hz instantly delivers a great growly tone which would be great for rocky stuff. The closest I've heard to this sound was my old Trace all valve pre & power combination into a 'classic' Trace 4x10. However this amp seems able to get that tone from a much wider variety of speaker combinations. Each of the switches have very funky looking green or red lights embedded in the tip of them (depending on whether they are set in 'up' or 'down' position) The compressor is great as well. Very flexible & helps to round out transient peaks without overpowering the sound. The core sound of the head is very smooth with a nice vintagey valve tone. Has loads of bottom end thump if required but can sizzle & zing at the top end as well if required. It really is, to my ears, a very seductive sound all round. Has that great effect of making just about any bass sound seriously nice & definitely brings out nuances of individual players. It almost makes my Epifani sound a little antiseptic & that's something I never thought I'd say! The only reason I've decided to sell this is because it's really designed to work in a rack (the 'ears' aren't removable) & my Epi fits neatly into a small gig bag. I also use the twin channel footswitchable option on the Epi in my functions band for switching between old school soul & auto-wah disco stuff May be up for trades on basses but not really looking for any amp or cab offers at the moment. Any questions - fire away. I may not be able to answer them but I'll do the best I can!

[quote name='JTUK' post='526212' date='Jun 27 2009, 07:34 PM']looks like an ABM bridge IIRC[/quote] Cheers, thanks for that, just checked the main Sei website & it looks like Martin fits ABM hardware as standard - well spotted!

[quote name='Gwilym' post='526097' date='Jun 27 2009, 05:31 PM']it's because thats what I told you and is also what I was told by the fellow who sold me the bass originally, but it's not that important, what is important is that it looks awesome![/quote] Ah ha, I knew it was someone who knew what they were talking about

[quote name='martybass' post='525102' date='Jun 26 2009, 06:05 PM']It´s a perfect match to my daphne blue 75 Fender RI, yummi!!!![/quote] That sounds nice too! I've seen some 60's replicas in Daphne Blue but not a '75. Is it a Custom Shop job?

[quote name='ziggydolphinboy' post='526081' date='Jun 27 2009, 05:09 PM']crikey dont suppose ud be interested in a trade for my 5 dolphin sn with peizo case and candy? just been to the gallery today having a shack put into my sei six and met Martin who on the spot sorted out my shuker fretless six, what a lovely fella bump on me fair price.[/quote] Martin really is a great guy. I only go there about once every 2 years and he always remembers my name! I do think Dolphins look really cool, Any pics ?

Nick - if you need a bass for Thursday then you're more than welcome to borrow anything of mine? Well, maybe not the redwood NS5XL as a) it weighs a ton & it's worth a small fortune, lol. If you want a 4 I've got the Fender J '75RI or for 5's there's either the white Overwater J or the other Spector NS5XL Both of these have 35" scale so maybe not your cup of tea (although the Overwater doesn't feel that much like a 35"). If you can get over to me some time you could have whatever for the week to get used to it too Anyway, just a thought,

[quote name='leftybassman392' post='526050' date='Jun 27 2009, 04:26 PM']Mate of mine used to have a Wal 5 with Olive Ash facings that looked exactly like this. That would be my guess about the wood.[/quote] Thanks for that - I did have the phrase 'olive-wood' stuck in my head for some reason but thought I might have imagined it! Also - for those who have asked - my, pretty accurate, digital scales say it weighs 9lbs & one quarter of an ounce

[quote name='bubinga5' post='525883' date='Jun 27 2009, 12:47 PM']They were my thoughts!!! I want this bass, big time!! You have PM Molan[/quote] I'm not actually desperate to sell so if it doesn't go fairly quickly then I'll withdraw it & wait for the market to pick up a bit - either that or stick it on EBay & accept bids from Europe, lol.

[quote name='voxpop' post='525802' date='Jun 27 2009, 11:15 AM']Oh bugger.....someone buy my Windmill Jay Tee so can have this little beauty. Have a bump on me for a great bass.[/quote] Shame you didn't still have the Spector Euro 5 - that would have been a great potential trader!

[quote name='Gwilym' post='525586' date='Jun 27 2009, 12:53 AM']nice pictures - great bass A shame you are letting it go...[/quote] It's definitely a tough choice but I'm not playing it enough to hang on to it really As this was Gwil's bass previously I thought I'd add a link to his previous for sale thread as well just in case I've missed anything in my listing: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40082&hl=sei"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40082&hl=sei[/url] There are some sound clips here that Gwil made when the bass had the full passive circuit. I'd say the core sound is captured here really - the active sounds pretty much the same but with more 'oomph' & all the tonal variation options
