Once you try a Sandberg you're in trouble.

That's funny 😂

I have the Two10 and its as loud as I've ever needed. I toyed with the idea of getting a four10, but honestly there was no point, the Two10 delivers in spades. Great Cabs

Yeah, Ideal for small acoustic gigs and rehearsal, I was looking for something small that I could use with this amp and the elf amp I had. I sold the Elf 110 I had as it was just too small for the LB30 and not really suited to that amp. Got the Epifini last week on Reverb and its ideal, lovely warm tone from it, very efficient cab so it gets relatively loud.

Really happy with this little 110 Epifnai / little bastard combo 😁

I've had a class D Ampeg PF350 and a TC electronics 250W class D amp and the elf 200W kicks both their bottoms so..yeah underrated loudage !

I might be totally wrong but I think the old 200W trace heads were Class A/B and had stonking clumps of iron transformers driving the speaker so they might have more "heft" (there's that word ) than the class D 200W elf.

I had an AH500-7 head once and it was an absolute beast of an amp, Even the 300W 1*15 combo I had was loud enough for all my needs. very heavy amps tho, the old trace stuff.

Yep I used that combo myself and it worked really well.

I think the "BIG" Trace 1200W goes down to 2ohms.

Yep the only thing is to avoid running through impedances < 4ohm, SS amps dont like that.

I reckon through an efficient 4 x 10 cab at 4ohms it should be loud enough. 200W is nothing to be sneezed at .

It doesn't bother me too much but It was that scenario where the 4 rubber feet would not sit on the cab at once 🙈

I actually sold my elf cab to a bassist that had one already, he was very impressed with the volume of 2 cabs running with the elf head. I guess because you're getting the full 200W from the 4ohm. I needed something compact but a tad wider that could be used with a 30W valve head that was a bit too big for the elf 110 cab.

The closest I've had is the 1*10 elf cab with the elf head. Impressively loud for such a small rig however lacking a little bit in bottom end or warmth from one cab IMO.

I'm Out - Epifani UL 110 cab, Oh well it was a good year and I sold a 110 elf to partially cover it.

These instruments are great and there are very few accounts of them on 'tinterweb. So Im throwing my tuppence in.

Old thread but I’ll comment anyway, these are great basses . 2+2 headstock not to everyone’s taste but the bass is very tidy (about 2” shorter than my Sandberg California/ fender p bass) despite having 24 frets . Sounds great and punchy . (I’ve the mm one) . I dunno any other bass players that have this bass but it’s excellent for the money (around €1400), mine was discounted to €1100. Some bass for that money .

Looks very like the Basic which I have and love the sound of. I wonder is there much of a difference in the sound or feel of the 2 basses.

I've toyed with the idea of selling the Spyder and getting a small hi power class D amp, but these amps are kind of rare now (twin valve preamp) and for some reason don't have great resale values though they sound great and a re built like tanks, (a 'lo-fi' version AMB-600). I'm always afraid these small class D amps will go pop in the middle of a gig (happened me a few times), so far the elf hasn't missed a beat.

3 Amps, 2 Cabs Amps: Ashdown Little Bastard 30W, Ashdown Spyder 550W, TE Elf (200W) - The Swiss Army Knife of amps IMO. Cabs: TE 300W 1x10, Barefaced Two10 I play in an acoustic covers band , elf set up ideal for that. Sometimes I sub in in a 10 piece jazz band, surprisingly the elf+110 can manage, though I prefer to use the Elf amp and BF cab for that when no PA support (warmer sound). For the indie rock band I play in, has to be the Spyder and two 10, though I've had good results with Elf / Two10 also for this application. LB-30 for home use mostly, love the tone from that amp thro the BF 210. Never been in a situation where the Spyder and BF 210 weren't loud enough.

I got a serious case of gas when I saw this for sale , my main worry is that it might be kinda awkward to play with that humbucker so far forward (no thumb rest ). Also I may tire of the tone of it but it looks so cool .

Still in because I haven't been playing much but starting to browse a bit more than usual lately 🙈 I sold an Ashdown CTM100 last year and ever since I've been drawn to a replacement 100-200W tube head. That Stoneham YI200....Why aye indeed 🤩
