    Hey, it's all cool! I hope it didn't sound like I was nit-picking or anything! Great post actually, lots of super useful info' and I agree, the EBS heads are very good indeed. The EBS Classic (II) Preamplifier was the first EBS piece of kit that had me hooked, a seriously good rack unit.

    The TD650 was in my all time top 5(-ish) amplifiers for many, many years - 20 or more, only to be recently replaced by the 802.

    I've just edited your post slightly. 1. I am not sure if Ashdown use a LPF on any of their heads. 2. the HD360 and TD660 heads had their LPF's lowered slightly and the EQ centres changed. 3. the bass control on the EBS is still shelving, so despite being centred at 100hz (for the TD650 I think?) you're still getting boost far below that too.

    And sold, on it's way to a new home!

    I'd agree with the Honk positioning. Chest Thump I'd say was actually a higher frequency.Punch is in the right range though, that's good. Interestingly Heft is in the Bottom and lower end of Boom range.

    I've got one that I've been meaning to install in a 2 band EQ bass. I have tested it without being fitted in the cavity and have to say it was really impressive. (The bass in question does not feature East electronics and it behaved very well).

    Good question! Sadly the catalogue links I had were all in Japanese so I am not sure, but in my mind I think there were 32" offerings - EDIT, the PJM65 was a medium scale and the PJR65 was a 34" scale - so, although not the same model as the one above, yes, it seems shorter scale models were available.
  9. Dood
    Yeah I remember these too. As above, same period as the Jazz Bass Special. I think I have some ole Japan catalogues somewhere (that I am sure are online too) that have these in.

    EBS have been so kind, they've shared a few of my EBS reviews on their website; quotes and the like.

    John East's Uni-Pre offers extensive frequency selection too, anther great suggestion.

    Listen to the beginning of "Got The Time" by Anthrax. By using a lil drive, Frank's bass tone doesn't just growl, it tears your face off
  13. Dood
    Absolutely - in general slightly more mids with be perceived as the pickup is brought closer to the strings. Round wound strings are a thumbs up from me too.
  14. Dood
    Then add even a pinch of distortion in the upper mids to all of the above for some extra bite ;o)

    The simple answer is no, because the "amp" bit means some sort of amplification is going on and thus batteries are required. That said, "Tone Controls": You can still use a passive tone stack network, like a modified Baxandall type or even the tone stacks used in valve amplifiers as a set of tone controls and it would work. Fender's own TBX Tone Control is an example of a passive tone control network.

    There are a few different ways to find my unbiased reviews: Head to the Guitar Interactive Magazine homepage and select the 'issues' tab: (The magazine is free to read and subscribe to.) https://www.guitarinteractivemagazine.com/issues/ You can filter-search most of my reviews via the 'reviews' tab on the website. I've set up a filter for you here: http://www.iguitarmag.com/reviews/?page=1&producttype=bass https://www.guitarinteractivemagazine.com/reviews/?issue=&manufacturer=&type=bass&pagesize=50&page=3 Most of my reviews, but certainly not all are on the Guitar Interactive Youtube page. I've set up a filter here too for you: https://www.youtube.com/c/iguitarmag/search?query=bass If you know what you are looking for, then also try a Google search, "Guitar Interactive Magazine {name of item}" that will often return an online version of my review if it exists (rather than magazine format). Googling "Dan Veall" or "Guitar Interactive Magazine Dan Veall Bass" will throw up lots of other links where brands have put my reviews on their own websites, such as EBS, Bergantino, GK, Nemphasis, Dingwall etc etc. It's worth noting that the filters aren't perfect. You may find that just browsing every review could pick up something that the filter did not.

    Hey all BCers! I appreciate I am well behind with updating this thread with all of my reviews. I plan over the next week or so to create a brand new resource with links to all of my reviews that are online, either in the magazine, on the magazine website or YouTube. Then I will try to keep things current.. I've over 350 videos to find!!!!* *Apologies, there are some review magazine links that don't work owing to a server crash at a hosting company many years ago. If I can find any footage to replace it with, I will.

    Hmmm, for someone who reviews amplifiers for a living, this is quite a difficult one to answer. I'll try: Aside from valve amplifiers, D Class and DSP, my current favourite SS amp (that recently knocked another long standing fave off it's mantle) is the EBS 802. It's design is to encompass all that we love in 'lead sled' amplifiers with a really flexible and great sounding preamplifier. I do have a few favourite amplifiers, many mentioned in this thread already!

    Cool thank you chap! I'm glad you've found a solution though, I've heard good things about the m50x's!
  20. Dood
    I just ran through the post, but I was looking to find out what you were driving your DT770's with? Mine sounded pants with an old Audio interface, simply because the headphone driver was woefully underpowered. (Literally anything USB2 powered is likely to suffer) My latest interface is way more capable and the DT's sound SO much better.

    It's hard to quantify in words actually! They're just different. What I may think is better in one could be totally different to the next person. I love the Bergantino though, it's totally my thing! The EBS is absolutely no slouch though. I'd previously reviewed the 750 with an EBS 410CL before buying this one and it was hugely impressive. Thats a great combination. Tons of kick drum slam and clean top end.
  22. Dood
    Possibly will advertise a brand new EBS Neolite 410 too.

    https://ebssweden.com/content2/amps/ebs-reidmar-750-2/ EBS Reidmar 750 Input Impedance 1 Mohms / 100 pF Gain Range -00 - +30 dB Character Filter Shelving, High/Low Pass, +7 dB @ 40 Hz, -2 dB @ 800 Hz,+3 dB @ 10 kHz Tone Controls, Bass Shelving +/-18 dB @ 60 Hz Mid Bandpass Filter 100 – 6000 Hz +/- 12-15 dB Treble Shelving +/-18 dB @ 6 kHz Bright Shelving +15/-0 dB @ 10 kHz Drive min/max 0/34 dB Balanced Output -10 dBv, Pre/Post EQ, GND Lift Remotes Output Remote Jack RING = Mute / TIP = Drive Filter Jack RING = Filter Mode / TIP = Character Output Power 700 W RMS @ 4 ohms load (350 W RMS @ 8 ohms) Dimensions (WxDxH) 15.2 x 10.4 x 3.0” (38.5 x 26.5 x 7.5 cm) Weight 3.7 kg (8.2 lbs.) My EBS Reidmar 750 has been a "spare" to my Bergantino B|Amp but, like many others, with the lack of gigs and, that most of the time I am on IEMs anyway, it's time for this chap to go to a new home. A very powerful and capable amplifier! A Natural beast Due to advanced soft-clip technology, the Reidmar amps does not suffer any loss of definition in the low register when the volume is turned up. It does not use a present automatic limiter that kicks in at a certain point and levels out the lows like many other class-D amps do. The Reidmar amps simply takes maximum advantage of the power at hand and turn into solid, authentic bass tone. The Interface If you are familiar with EBS bass amps you will feel at home with the Reidmar 750. The all together analog preamp features the renowned built-in compressor and a 4-band EQ-section that is really intuitive including the (for EBS) characteristic Bright and Notch filters. The Reidmar 750 is equipped with a Drive control to add just the right amount of harmonics to make your bass come alive, or if you prefer, make it just as dirty as you like. Some of the other features include: Effects loop (send and return) Balanced XLR-out for live and studio use (with pre/post EQ switch and Ground Lift) Line out Headphones Mini-tele input for adding recorded music to play along with. Remote Control Connections to add the EBS RM-4 footswitch to control Character (on/off), EQ-section (on/off), Drive (on/off) and Mute. The amp is equipped with a D-class power amp providing 750 W @ 4 ohms load. Weight is 3.7 kg (8.2 lbs).

    And if it’s not that, then check that you have enough downward (break) angle over the nut. and if it’s not that, then the windings have come loose on the string, it’s time for a new one.

    Withdrawn.

    Definitely a bass I'd like to try out / get my hands on one day!
