I used an OB1-300 last week at band practice, it was awesome with a tiny amount of saturation going on. When the overdrive "channel" was engaged more it was horrible though, IMO

[quote name='BassBunny' timestamp='1490121000' post='3262394'] I used one of these when I had a WT550. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/rugged-case-with-foam-interior-n78gg You can probably get the same thing on eBay for less. [/quote] Ditto

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1489757152' post='3259529'] And one of each will still cost you less than just one of the Kala California basses. In fact, one of each of all four colours will cost you less than just one of the Kala California basses. Just think of the money you'd be saving. Wonder if Bass Centre would give me a commission? [/quote] You certainly deserve it, a heroic sales pitch right there

If it were me I'd get an Ashdown ABM, it'll cover those two bands with ease and pairs very very well with the SC in my opinion.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1489749695' post='3259405'] And Merton, as they're different scale lengths, they're completely different basses, so you can buy one of each. [/quote] Yes indeed, hence my "argh" hehe

Oooh, I like the red one! And the blue one! Argh.

Very, very nice

Gen 1 and 2 were based around the standard Eminence 15" and 12" drivers; Gen 3 uses the custom Barefaced drivers in 12" and 10" formats. The differences between Gen 1 and 2 are as Frank described above

I never knew Trace did a 2x12 cab!

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1489096460' post='3254436'] Same here! [/quote] Me too haha! That's is one stunning J bass, lovely

Welcome to the family the only trouble with ACGs is that once you pop, you can't stop. Eventually I'd like one of each model give or take haha! No 3 is currently in gestation for me - it's the funky Skelf Short Scale which has appeared in a few of Alan's videos this week

Love the WT-550

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1489017112' post='3253840'] when did detachable 3x10 become daft? 16x10 is daft.... [/quote] Shh, I'm calling it daft in case the Missus is reading it

It's not about power but about the ability to drive three 8 ohm cabs with a bit of margin for error really. It's part of a daft mid-term plan I have to make an uber modular rig with One10s

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1488992141' post='3253569'] Because the WA can do 2-ohms, it got me wondering about the R-400, so I asked Leszek if it was possible: 'Not as it is, but for 50€ we can do modification on 2Ohm, no problem.' [/quote] Ooooooooh

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1488988259' post='3253535'] Yep, the WA will happily do 2ohm. But, if you can live without the 2ohm or active EQ, look no further than the[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/282884-handbox-bass-amplification-new-to-the-uk/"] Handbox R-400[/url]. [/quote] Ah wicked. The Handbox is what started this train of thought - I almost messaged you to ask about the two ohm thing!

Doesn't do 2 ohms I don't think, but that is exactly the thing I mean. Good work sire!

I have clearly got too much time on my hands so I've come up with my dream bass amp. It's pretty silly really otherwise someone would have already done it... Class A/B power section, old school power supply, min 400W Form factor a la Eden WT550 or Ashdown CTM30 (i.e. small and narrow but not necessarily lightweight!) All valve preamp - running at proper plate voltages please Keep it simple with gain (with the ability to get some lovely dirt if needed), three or four band active EQ, volume Min speaker load 2 ohms (yes...) Preferably with an aux in and headphone out but these aren't paramount Who wants to build me one then

Sold Tim a fourth little cab, and as always he was a gent to deal with and very prompt payer. Many thanks

Two speakon/jack combo sockets

Well actually Saturday was NCD: I went to the London Bass Guitar Show and was blown away by Barefaced's little One10 so snapped one up at the show discount price. Just destroyed my ears (and probably any friendly relationship with next door) having a proper blast at home. A fantastic little cab and it works brilliantly with my ABM head. The overhang will be an issue for many so I won't post a pic, you all know what the little black and silver box looks like!

I now know who you are and next time I see you you will be "Zebra bass man"
