[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1505115801' post='3369493'] Some complaints that that these are quite modest in overall volume, given the high wattage, and that the fan's noisy? Would you agree? [/quote] Hmmm, yes I'm a little skeptical about the overall output volume, probably not 800W but still easily loud enough for most band situations i should imagine. I will be trying the RetroGlide in a band context later this week at a rock band rehearsal and then a reggae gig at the weekend. I didn't think the fan was over noisey in my opinion. I've also just acquired a TC BH250 head and i thought the fan on that was considerably noisier by comparison. As I say what i do like is the simplicity of the EQ for tonal variation, it feels more targeted at certain frequencies to get your sound (hope that makes some sense), and I did also like the core tone. It has a nice warmth with the 100hz boosted to get a vintage vibe but equally with tweaking a bit you can get good modern sounds. I like it but have only tried it at home so far, I would not pay the high prices for it but i feel i got a good amp for the £340 i paid from Andertons.

Great to see you here Pedro, enjoy

It is a pleasure to leave Pedro, aka dirtyharry, his first feedback comments here. By his own admission he has been reading Basschat for many years but has been hesitant to contribute until now due to a lack of confidence in his English writing skills...that said Pedro's English is better than mine reading through our PM communications. Pedro has now introduced himself to the forum and I feel Basschat has gained another good guy. So, I sold Pedro a Markbass combo 2x10" and sent it to his home country of Portugal. All went super smoothly with great communications throughout. Total trustworthy guy in my opinion and I would have no hesitations to deal with him again.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1504978141' post='3368683'] Seems very affordable to me, especially compared with GAK's retail price. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ashdown-Retroglide-800-Digital-Bass-Amplifier-800w-/272829444412?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368"]http://www.ebay.co.u...725.m3641.l6368[/url] [/quote] Just bought one of these and I'm really impressed - great core tone and a lot of tonal variation with the EQ, nice warmth - very powerful too. I payed £340 for mine from Andertons but some retailers have had them up for over £700.

Another hassle free sale with Greg, as usual faultless and a perfect gentlemen all round. Highly recommend and a credit to BC. Cheers, Lee

The Eden WT550 is a classic. However don't underestimate Carvin gear, the BX1500 I owned sometime back was a monster....that said I did sell it 😂

Perhaps consider Carvin? Pretty sure they do two ohms, very clean sounding too.

I use a Markbass 4x10", great sound with the OTB

Wow! No ones asked the costings yet ? (I could quite fancy something like this myself one day )

[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1503336131' post='3357366'] The weight has always put me off, I remember reading about a collector who had two, the "light weight one came in at 15lbs the heavy one at a back breaking 22lbs! [/quote] These are probably the Ibanez Studio model, very similar to the Musician model but significantly heavier - for the tone I guess. I've had both briefly and the Studio was close to 15lbs whereas my old Musician was 11lbs from memory...still too heavy so I sold that one too but as already said they're truly great basses and tone monsters.

Out of interest which version of Logic ?

Did a great trade with Steve, my P & cash top up for his Marvit Custom. Steve is a lovely chap and we now continue to converse via Facebook too. 100% trustworthy and has some fantastic bass gear that I'm truly envious of. Really happy with the trade and Steve had kindly allowed me to pay my cash top up in installments - top bass chatter all round - buyers & sellers can deal in total confidence

Sold a octave pedal to Paul, all straight forward and a pleasure throughout - top marks
