Feel bad I haven't kept up to speed with Chi Cheng, is he still with us and still battling?

Status necks are not tinny and characterless! Not played a Kingbass tho...

Here we go, my home practice rig: Yes, that's a little hifi speaker. Sounds ok at home practice volume. Win

Will respond when I can get on my laptop and get screenshots for you

My Eden is a lot quieter than my old Trace AH300-12, no hiss that I've noticed at all. DI is squeaky clean too.

Older Edens had jack or banana plugs, newer ones from around 2000ish (i think) have speakons and jacks. Personally I'm an Eden man- slight hint of Enhance (not even 1/5 of the movement) but otherwise flat save for tiny room tweaks. Loud, clear and a lot of balls

[quote name='Lozz196' post='1354092' date='Aug 28 2011, 08:46 AM']Seems a fair point to me. I had a TC amp for a while, the Classic 450. Used to use it at 3/4 on volume for gigs. If that was only using 100ish watts, well they were loud watts then![/quote] The position of the volume control has no bearing on output power rating [quote]I think it would only really be a problem f people were buying the gear and finding it hideously under-powered. At that point, the claims would be detrimental, but as said, if all the owners of the gear are happy with it, no fuss.[/quote] Indeed, the fuss is more about TC apparently lying in their marketing blurb, which I can understand, however ultimately if it works for someone then great

Like their heads, especially the valve jobbies, but increasingly found myself knob twiddling in my on my old GP12 head so went for a more basic preamplifier and have now ended up with Eden which I am much happier with. the old cabs, I agree with whynot, they weren't too hot. Funnily enough the new 1518 is actually in my top 3 1x15s, it works brilliantly with an LH500 Horses for courses definitely. They have a soft spot in my heart as I grew up using them but I think there's better out there now and certainly more user-friendly preamps. EDIT: I could start a thread saying I hate Ampeg because I can't stand them, but I won't

Think we're singing from the same hymn sheet here

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='1352440' date='Aug 26 2011, 02:01 PM']There are two distinct camps on this issue at TB. One (which I subscribe to) says that lying about the power ratings of their amps is just plain wrong. The other, which is typified by responses like yours, says that as long as it sounds good we don't care if they are advertising fraudulent power ratings. Consider that attitude the next time you go to the petrol pump that may, or may not, be giving you every liter you've paid for.[/quote] Sorry Bill, I wasn't referring to TC lying, I was referring the slightly bemusing responses of people basing amp tone on spec rather than tone. Totally agree with you that lying about a spec is fraudulent, but ultimately the reaction of some people seems to suggest the amp is a less worthy tone monster now and it's laughable.

[quote name='chris_b' post='1352334' date='Aug 26 2011, 01:02 PM'].... anyway, Alex, please design your amp to support 2 ohm loads. Thanks.[/quote] Haha! About to respond to your PM sir As for this thread, what a lot of nonsense. Who gives a f*** what the rating is as long as it sounds good to the person using it. And the audience, I guess

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1351615' date='Aug 25 2011, 06:38 PM']If you look up lil jim's big squeeze on facebook, we're releasing cheatin n creepin on Sunday and it's available for download free for a week I think, I used it on that. I don't have a set up at home that let's me record amps though so it's only releases that I use my Gks on.[/quote] Cheers bud!

We should swap, I'd prefer the narrower form factor Ashdown makes sense, bet the whole thing sounds immense.

[quote name='owen' post='1350846' date='Aug 24 2011, 10:38 PM']Just scored the MB Fusion in the Amps for sale forum! Happy days! (Sorry Merton)[/quote] Nah, it's a good thing, I've got 2 great amps and I'd get murdered if I bought this! Let us know how you get along with it though

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1349499' date='Aug 23 2011, 09:14 PM']I just fiddle around in the key.[/quote] Ditto

[quote name='barneyg42' post='1341953' date='Aug 16 2011, 02:36 PM']This was delivered to me this morning from musicman5 on the Statii forum, top bloke to deal with, thanks Jason she's a beauty. [/quote] lovely! Is she coming to the SE Bash?

PS, that Ashdown cab... Is it a custom?

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='1345657' date='Aug 19 2011, 05:25 PM']What's the difference between that and the Vintage? It looks like a 210 shoved down there![/quote] I think the tuning and voicing is slightly different (and the Vintage has ports along the bottom rather than up the side) but I doubt there's a huge difference. Would be interesting the hear...

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1347636' date='Aug 21 2011, 11:05 PM']Well you guys have the 200 and 500 covered, I'll complete the collection with the fusion. Love it! Loads of tonal options and it breaks up nicely. It has plenty of power with the neo 212s I use.[/quote] Do you have any soundclips of it? Part if me still tempted to swap the Eden and MB200 for the MB Fusion..... I'd probably miss my Eden a lot though, it is awesome and by far the best amp I've used
