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]


Based in Fife. Could deliver or meet up as far as the north of england I guess.

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!

I've been using Eden stuff for over 10 years now and I absolutely love it. I started off with an Eden Nemesis 2x10 combo after trying various amps and cabs and I was blown away by how good it sounded. I still get asked about "that great sounding combo" from bassists and guitarists alike.

I now gig with a WT800 but also have a WT550 and also have a WTX500. People seem to love their 550s but I've read that people think the WTX500 is underpowered. I disagree, but I think you need to be careful with the settings.

To get the most out of Eden Amps:

1. Use the Enhance knob incredibly sparingly or, ideally, no at all. It really will suck your mid's out and consume power as it boosts the lows - the worst combination for making yourself inaudible and flogging the amp to its limit. Probably best to leave it off. The flat sound on an Eden amp is a good useable sound. 1 or 2 clicks on these amps make a big difference. If I'm playing a slappy song I sometimes dial in a smidgen of the Enhance, to about 7-8 o'clock at the most.

2. Use the Bass EQ for cutting. I think the Bass Knob is set to around 30Hz (Not sure what the Q is). If you use this to boost you will quickly run out of headroom. On the WT series, use the semi-parametric to boost in a more useful frequency range; 80-150ish. Turning the Bass knob down a click or two can make a big difference in your sound and headroom.

I had to use my WTX500 as a back up last night after my WT800 blew a fuse. It performed admirably and sounded great. No PA support, pretty big club, LOUD drummer. Cracking little amp!

Hi y'all,

Looking to replace the machine heads on my Japanese 62 reissue Precision. I've had it since 1995 and one the machine heads has failed.

What would people recommend that would drop right in?

Cheers!

I agree with jazzjames ; the perceived volume is related to the voicing of the amp. A while back I had SWR SRM 900 amp, 900 watts at 4ohms. It was big and heavy, and I thought I did not need that much power so I got rid of it (regretting it now). It was very clean and deep sounding. I briefly owned an orange terror 500 and it kicked the sh*t out of the SWR volume wise. However, I think it is because the Orange doesn't really throw out much actual bass frequencies - it's more about the low mids (which, arguably, are what makes things sound more "bassy" in a live setting).

Thanks for all the input guys.

I think I'm probably going to try and get hold of an Eden WT800 and bridge it for 4 ohms. My cab is rated at 1200 watts, so should be able to take it. Volume isn't the problem, I can hear myself fine at gigs. I'm more concerned about the fact I'm at the edge of my amps capability and I feel a bit uneasy about asking my amp to give *everything* it has every gig.

Up for sale is my barely used gorgeous Yamaha BB1025x. I got this about a year ago and was blown away and how good it was - the sound sits in a mix/live situation perfectly and the back pickup has a helluva bark to it! It's in almost new condition, I've done about 6 gigs with it.

The reason for sale if its such a good bass? I got a second hand 2025x identical to my 1025x, so it has to go (Having A/B the two of them I would say they both sound the same. The 2025x has a *slightly* slimmer neck and plays *slightly* better, but the differences are minimal).

I'll throw in a newish hard case with it.

Ideally looking to trade rather then cash. Cash would be £500.

Trades; Bass heads To the value of about £650. Ideally, Eden WT800, GK MB800, Reidmar 750, TC Electronic RH750 - or something around about 700-1000 watts territory.

I'm based in Fife, Scotland. Could probably travel to the north of england.

Howdy,

I'm lucky enough to be getting loads of work these days in a variety of bands, but my main gig is a LOUD classic rock band (Zep, AC/DC, Ozzy, Deep Purple kinda stuff). I thought I had the rig I needed, and I had up until joining this band.

I've got an Eden WT550 (bought from Dood) and I use a Barefaced Super 12 T and I love this rig. However, I'm just at the threshold for limiting most of the time. I use the EQ sparingly and more often than not cut the Bass EQ by a couple of clicks A few tunes I dial in a couple of clicks of upper mids 1-2khz for attack. The enhance knob is off. I play with my fingers and use an MTD 535-24 or a BB 2025x.

The simple solution is for the band not to play as loud, but its not going to happen realistically. The drummer is LOUD and has a large Sonor kit.

The amp actually sounds fine though.

So I'm wondering what best to do. I'm a bit easy about having my amp limiting a lot towards the end of the gig when we are always louder. I only need a wee bit more head room, I'm not limiting the amp for most of the gig.

1. Add another 4-8Ohm cab. I think the WT550 will run down to 2Ohms and give me a little more headroom at 750watts.
2. Buy a more powerful amp. I really like the Eden sound and the semiparametric EQ is such a useful tool. An option is a WT800 bridged to run at 4Ohms.

Other amps have caught my eye ,and I'm wondering what people think about the amps, headroom, tone in comparison to my Eden.
- EBS Reidmar 750
- GK MB800
- TC RH750
- Peavey MiniMega 1000 (this looks very interesting)
- TC Blacksmith.

Cheers guys!
