[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1503005740' post='3355077'] Actually no...! All amps must be matched with [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]a cab (or cabs) with an impedance equal to or higher than the amps stated impedance. If you use two (or more) cabs [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]the combined [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]impedance is lowered e.g. two 8 ohm cabs = 4 ohms [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]A Class D amp will work the same as any other amp. [/font][/color] [/quote] Fair point - I was just answering on the basis of one cab. Same principle once you have more than one cab in that the combined impedance mustn't be lower, I just didn't think to add that bit

Oh damn. It came in at 1070 euro. Hmmmm.

So I've just been very silly and specced up a lovely 32" scale Elwood C on the configuration tool. Hypothetically speaking should I order, how much is shipping to the UK?

Yep

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1502878435' post='3354084'] I have both of these and they are ace: D'addario Guitar Dock and Guitar Rest https://www.thomann.de/gb/planet_waves_pw_gd_01_guitar_dock.htm?glp=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw2s_MBRA5EiwAmWIac8LWn33CbCb5QYMmLVq01wLgmom8BriUB9VRVh0buBLqFDjLf5x2whoCUtkQAvD_BwE https://www.thomann.de/gb/planet_waves_gr_01_guitar_rest.htm?glp=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw2s_MBRA5EiwAmWIac3WZP39MB_nGmk2rOuOd50oAuHg-VtMNTGyUvTbSiwVvTkUDZpGythoCAlEQAvD_BwE [/quote] That's superb that is. Off I go to buy one

[quote name='zitherman' timestamp='1502471973' post='3351744'] hi there,just a little update on my fight with dpd over my damaged cabinet. No change,they are just refusing to pay for the damage .ill keep at them though. [/quote] Good luck, courier companies are bastards! Wishing you a successful outcome

On the Talkbass thread there is confirmation the power supply is universal, it's clearly just the label which is holding this up

https://instagram.com/p/BXs3p8-lJ2e/ Plus the cab can be used for gigs too, winner!

No probs. I remember being a bit miffed there wasn't a switch on the amp for the sub but then discovered it was footswitchable. And then I never bothered buying a foot switch .... They're great amps, I miss mine!

Yup - see http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amplification/20/ROOTMASTER-EVO/144/RM500EVO-/

I think it's the Sub

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1502291232' post='3350501'] i really would not like my gear to vanish! [/quote] I was hoping to make the zebra bass vanish at the bass, damn!

[quote name='grenadilla' timestamp='1502277141' post='3350382'] Does this amp have the same power as the RM 800 ? People think the RM 800 is loud and the Retroglide is lacking . Why is that ? [/quote] They do indeed have the same power amp. I suspect that being ultra clean vs the RM preamp means the RM feels fuller and louder. It could also be that the RM preamp pushes the poweramp harder too...

I have successfully gigged a CTM100 and single BF SC on many occasions, it is an excellent combination IMO and you will still manage to destroy walls haha

[quote name='naxos10' timestamp='1502006955' post='3348663'] Yep, give in now and just go for one. Merton, I've got a Skelf short scale (30.75") its a cracking bass. [/quote] Nice! Mine is 32" and is quite frankly the best sounding bass I've ever had and the best 5 string. Not that my 32" Finn 4 or 33" Finn 5 are in any way slouches of course but the Skelf is just perfection

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1501743284' post='3346962'] I'm talking about the amp side of it, does it have an external transformer like a lap top or a conventional 'kettle' plug and if so does it have voltage switching? How come Genz Benz managed auto voltage switching over ten years ago yet it's not found very often on new amps? [/quote] Yup and that's what I was referring to - BigRedX has explained it better

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1501743978' post='3346969'] A minute or so with Google reveals that it does have a standard IEC mains connector and switch mode PS. However the US version also has 120V 60Hz printed on the back panel, so there must be some differences to the PSU between this and the 240V version - even if it is only the value of the non-accessible mains fuse. [/quote] Unless the delay for the U.K. Models is purely down to printing 230VAC on the back of a batch haha

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1501707634' post='3346849'] What type of power supply does it have? [/quote] It's got to be SMPS?

[quote name='Deedee' timestamp='1501707588' post='3346847'] And you get the carry bag. When I asked BD they said their price didn't include a bag 😮 [/quote] That's a bit daft given it's in the box in which the amp will be delivered!!

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1501692515' post='3346642'] I still have a lowly Commando 15 at my home studio, every time I mention that I like it, people look at me funny. Sounds really good to me, and i'm not a fan of Trace stuff at all, in fact I hate all the rehearsal room Trace amps i've played through. But the Commando has something nice about it, very punchy mids, not the usual scoopy tone. I got it for £50. [/quote] My first proper bass amp, wish I hadn't sold it a few years ago. I keep looking out for the very very rare Commando head just for nostalgic reasons really....

Chris sold me a Hotone Nano Legacy bass amp. Absolutely top notch seller, quick and easy with perfect comms. Perfick!
