Been a mark king fan since I was a kid, but I've only really learned a handful of tunes in 25 years! I got Stuart Claytons books and have decided to brush up my reading and playing.
I got my hands on a JayDee Supernatural Series II last year - it had to get re-fretted but I've not really used it a great deal. Until now. I thought I'd try it out at my regular gig (classic rock) and it actually sounds really good for rock stuff. Not a one trick pony at all.
This is not a perfect rendition, but I'm quite happy with it seeing as I'd only learned all the nuances that day and recorded it a few hours later. The main riff changes subtly each verse.
Cant recommend the Stuart Clayton books enough btw
(Bass recorded straight into sound card via XLR out on the bass; Bass about 90%, Middle Centre, Treble About 80%. Back pick up. Strings are 35-95 Elites).
Hope you like:

Smashing little Eden WTX 500 and gig bag. Bought new last year - done a few gigs with this guy and used at rehearsals and its great, and so small! [attachment=228108:P1090409.JPG]
Based in Fife. Could deliver I guess (around £15 I would have thought). -

Just got this. First time it was turned on was last nights gig. Bottom line - its very good. And very loud.
I've been using a WT800 for a while with my current main gig. The drummer is *loud*. We just use a vocal PA. My poor WT550 was limiting most of the time trying to keep up with the guitarist and the drummer. Even through 2 x Big Baby II cabs!!
I've been running my WT800 bridged into my cabs and it sounds great - I love the Eden sound.
I thought I would try something a bit different and really liked the idea of the Reidmar with its adjustable compression and drive.
I used my Japenese 62 reissue precision (with Quarter pounder pickups) for the first and my MTD 535-24 for the second set.
First of all - this is loud. Very loud. I was between 9 and 10 o'clock on my master out last night and it was scorching!
Sound - I was under the impression that EBS was meant to give a transparent sound. This was one of the main reasons I bought it. To my ear there is a scoop in the midrange with it compared to my Eden amps (or my Eden amps have a midrange bump. Not sure). Its not much, but I think its there. However, once compensated for, the amp really sings!
The drive control is great. I normally like a super clean sound, but I experimented last night with the drive - it really thickens up the sound. Very usable indeed. There is only one guitarist in this band, so I'm having to fill up a lot of space. The extra grit really made a difference
Its a great amp and will probably become my main gigging amp. I'll know more once I've tried it in a variety of venues. -
It is 4.6 Kg (using the questionable accuracy of standing on the bathroom scales with and without the bass)

I use an Eden WT800 bridged into two Big Baby 2 cabs with the horns fully open - it an absolute beast of a rig! Crazy how cheap you can get high end amps now, I got my eden for just over £400.

The ultimate passive bass. It really is a tone monster. Superb condition, comes with original case (which unfortunately is missing a clasp). Trying to consolidate my gear and clear my credit card from some serious GAS in the past year. I prefer my MTD bass and I now have a Sire V7 that can fulfil my passive old school needs.
Based in Fife. Could post or meet up as far as north of England.

I can send more pics to an email address if anyone is interested. -
Really good condition, few marks on the otherwise gorgeous bubinga body - plays great, sounds great (really great passive tone surprisingly). Would love to keep her, but I *still* have not cleared my credit card from my MTD 535 purchase![attachment=226331:P1090305.JPG]

I've just sold my Warwick Corvetter $$ 5 which had the best B string I have heard, probably even better better than my MTD 535-24. It was seriously phat and not flabby at all. And it was a 34 inch neck. Truly awesome bass.
Here's it in action: ( land of confusion and I feel for you covers)

I think Alex deserves a lot of promotion, UK built game changing bass gear
Good times!

Just got 2 of these last week. I have a super 12 T which is awesome, but I just had to try these. Plus, I wanted to have them to use as PA speakers if needed.
Used them two of them for rehearsal with my WTX500, then a gig with wt550, a gig last night with my WT800 and used one of them for rehearsal today with my WT800.
Bottom line - They are amazing. I thought my super 12 T was good, these are better! I'm not good with reviews but bottom line is - they are loud, they sound great and detailed. I like a lot of treble in my sound, so I had the horn wide open - sounds wonderful.
These are great cabs, expensive, but great! The new covers are a bit fiddly, they have a flap underneath. Thats my only gripe! -

Here's a tip for the WT550. Don't sell yours. You will realise afterwards that it's a great amplifier - even if you do have too many amplifiers already!

No worries Dan, I love the WT550 I got off you - has done me proud many a gig!
