I just bought an AER combo from Bass Wielder and it went very smoothly, with all my questions answered and a quick dispatch. It arrived very well packed, nice and clean and so far all working fine. Many thanks, definitely recommended.

Thanks D..wonder. The amp only goes up to 10 (!) but I realise I'm really asking whether the maximum noise available from the amp will be the same, whichever bass/input signal is used. It won't cost me much to find out. Thanks Ed. My bass is a passive Mustang and I expect some basses have a higher output so it's a similar situation, and it'll be reight because I'm in Sheffield! PS My very first amp was a little Park, till someone jemmied our back window. cheers both, Mark

Thanks BC'ers for considering it and of course a bigger amp is the obvious answer. I do have a bigger amp, but the Eden is small and light and copes surprisingly well at our practice volume - the others say they can hear it! Being secondhand of course it was cheap as well so perhaps it's a clear example of the "any 2 from 3" rule, even with boosted input. I'm looking forward to trying it though. Thanks to everyone.

I've got an Eden EC 8 20 watt combo which is very portable but barely loud enough for our quiet band practice. I tried a Yamaha Sessioncake to boost the signal from my bass and it works well, making the combo much louder at low volumes. Am I likely to damage the combo by overloading around max volume, or is it more likely the amp will distort or the speaker "fart out" before I ruin it? Thanks all BCers for any opinions or experience.

I've had mine for years and it seems OK, better against a wall, although I've little to compare it with. Where does the wadding go and what does it achieve? Happy New Year all and thanks BCers for any responses.

I've just got this mini amp from Thomann but it's nearly unusable because of a loud to very loud hum/buzz at around full volume and gain. Perhaps my basses need screening because the same effect, although so quiet as to not notice before, is there with my other amps. The noise gets much quieter (but still intrusive with the Joyo) when I touch the strings/bridge/pegs. It's loud with the CIJ Mustang and less loud with the MIJ Jazz. The Jazz has no screening but I haven't looked inside the Mustang yet. Any help/comments gratefully received, thanks BCers.
