    I tend to always use interparcel.com but I've used transglobalexpress.co.uk and parcel2go.com too.

    I've had two problems before and interparcel.com have always sorted everything out and their communication has been great in my personal experience. They have instant chat too which I think is very useful.

    They are expensive but the upgrades are pretty decent in my opinion - that said, if you've already got a P and/or J that you're really happy with, these are probably not worth going for.

    But I am happy to see tortoiseshell back on the 3-color Sunburst and Olympic White basses.

    I remember when the V1 was announced. The early pics had a larger chassis and were without a fan. They clearly wanted a smaller unit so needed a fan.

    Darkglass, Aguilar, etc. must be capable of building their amplifiers without a fan but I suppose that the market/expense just doesn't justify the hassle.

    With a fan:

    • Darkglass Microtubes 900V2 (900w): 255 x 267 x 70 mm
    • Aguilar TH700 (700w): 305 x 229 x 76 mm

    Without a fan:

    • Phil Jones BP-800 (800w): 317 x 190 x 63 mm
    • Acoustic Image Clarus SL (600w): 188 x 183 x 53 mm

    I think it's pretty weird that fans are used/needed nowadays.

    I acknowledge that not everyone cares about fan noise but I know plenty of other folks do care about it - I use the same amplifier for practice as I do for performing live so at lower volumes, a fan kicking in really irritates me.

    If Phil Jones, Acoustic Image and others can build a small, lightweight, class D amplifier without a fan, I wonder why Aguilar, Darkglass, etc. can't or won't do it ...I really fancy a Darkglass Microtubes 900 but the fan means I won't get one.

    Trickfish Bullhead 1K amplifier - SOLD

    Trickfish Bullhead 1K amplifier - SOLD

    The Trickfish team has put all of their experience and skill into making the Bullhead 1K a truly musical piece of equipment. The design goals were modest: build a pre-amp that had the lowest noise floor possible so when we record it’s nice and quiet, employ powerful EQ’s so we can shape the sound in the most musical way possible and utilize a stout, no-nonsense power amp that delivers when digging in and pouring on the heat. Trickfish kept it simple and clean so that it would be easy to operate on stage – big knobs that are easy to grab and full size switches to minimize fumbling. Featuring the acclaimed Mike Pope designed low noise pre-amp integrated with a tour proven, 1000W Class D power amplifier, the Bullhead 1K offers all of the professional features and performance expected of a Trickfish product. Housed in a robust aluminum chassis, the powerful head offers a wide variety of tone-shaping capabilities via a 4-band EQ and 8 frequency select options.

    Makes my Elf look big...

    The GRBass miniONE is a bit bigger than the Trace Elliot Elf but the power output is different. Personally, I think the GRBass miniONE compares more with an Aguilar TH350 than the Elf or the TC Electronic BAM200.

    • GRBass miniONE power: 350 watts at 4 ohms and 170 watts at 8 ohms
    • GRBass miniONE dimensions: 19 x 16 x 4.3 cm
    • Trace Elliot Elf power: 200 watts at 4 ohms and 130 watts at 8 ohms
    • Trace Elliot Elf dimensions: 17.1 x 10.4 x 3.4 cm
    • Aguilar TH350 power: 350 watts at 4 ohms and 175 watts at 8 ohms
    • Aguilar TH350 dimensions:  20.9 x 19.1 x 7 cm
