Well, I sold this gem too... My back hated it. But it was a d*mn good amp! I realize that big bulky heavy rigs belong to the past. At least for me. My last gig I used two rigs, my Monique/Spartan into Genzler 210 and 115 cabs for electric, and my Genzler 350 with two 110 cabs for my upright. I wasn't allowed to turn the amps up so I could hear myself through my own speakers. My bass was in all monitors on stage. After that gig I decided I'll never ever bring my rigs to that stage anymore. Only pedals and Monique. I have ordered a Quad Cortex too, so maybe I only use that one for electric and upright. Btw, I have sold the big Genzler cabs too, but kept my 112's...

I have revised my order for my new five string; it won't be "natural wooden coloured", but a Swedish take on British Racing Green, with some metallic flavour... No creme coloured stripes, though... (I'll try to make some sound clips too with the Orange Wonder when I have the time.. )

I've used the bass on two rehearsals, and will do the first gig on Wednesday. It truly is a well sounding bass. It has the same "heft" to the tone as my old Yamaha JP2 when using the bridge pickup. It has the three band Darkglass Tone Capsule with bass, low mid and high mid - no treble. Still it works very well. The bass looks really big, but is in fact rather natty. I like it.

This gem moved in today; I bought it from a friend... Mensinger Joker B6, 35" and 3/4" (19 mm) spacing...

I will. The Aggie is just 200 W RMS, so it is my smallest amp coming to wattage. Still, it pushes the cabinets to move some serious air. I will try it with the band at the rehearsal tomorrow.

Ooooops! Double post! Please, delete one.

My plan was to get a Bergantino Forté HP or a Quad Cortex as my third amp. I have a Genzler Magellan 350, a Vanderkley Spartan and a Jule Amps Monique preamp with a GSS Sumo power amp already. Ooops! Did that make three...? Well, I was out shopping for a fourth amp - not a third. All of a sudden I got the chance to get a super nice Aguilar DB 359 at a more than reasonable price, so I changed my mind. No DSP amp for me! No programmable stuff! Just plain analog old school stuff. I was a bit concerned how the Aggie would work with the Genzler Bass Array cabs; my old Super Bassman and the Bassman 100T sounded crap through them. No problems with this baby brute! Wooly, fat, juicy! The DB 359 is a BIG amp. Really big! But - it sits well on top of the Bass Array 12-3 SLT cabs: no risk sliding off the top cab. A tiny bit of T-factor can be seen... I kind of like it...
