No prob The Compact is an awesome cab, my favourite 1x15 by some way. Might even be worth using the famous Barefaced month money back guarantee?

Dave, Whereabouts in SE London are you? Do you want to try a Vintage? I know it's a bit bigger and probabbly overkill but can give you a very good idea what TWO compacts sounds like Mert

A Streamline 5? Ooh yes please!

I'll be there for a short time and will be helping organise I hope! 01.

Excellent service I thought

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='1284664' date='Jun 27 2011, 09:38 PM']The cab and driver must be matched to work well. With older Edens when they made their own drivers you really needed to use Eden replacements. They now use Eminence, so there's probably nothing to be gained by swapping them. As far as what Ampeg uses, they bear no resemblance to either the BP102 or B102. The B810 is a direct replacement, but if you don't have a sealed cab you won't get Ampeg tone. And the cab is only half the equation. It takes an Ampeg head as well.[/quote] Sorry for going OT here but when did Eden stop making their own drivers? Was it around the time of the US Music takover or when David left?

You can never have enough bass amplification

[quote name='Johnston' post='1283283' date='Jun 26 2011, 07:55 PM']Next you'll be asking for Skin stuff too [/quote] I have Jam and their Greatest Hits. Should've just stuck with Jam. Anyone got the b.l.o.w. album (post Little Angels thing with at least Mark Richardson and Bruce Dickinson in it)?

Popped in on Sat with the guitarist in my band, and my son. Nice store, good luck with it! Could do with more bass amplification range tho... I didn't buy anything but guitarist came away with a new pedal and a Vox practice amp so was chuffed

[quote name='Sparky' post='1273837' date='Jun 18 2011, 03:35 PM']Please excuse my ignorance, but to daisy chain, do the cabs need an out as well as an input? the Hartke 210xl's I was planning to use only have a single input and no outputs[/quote] Most cabs have two sockets wired in parallel, what this means is one is the input and the other is a link to another cab. If your cab only has one socket then my cunning plan is somewhat fuggered

[quote name='Sparky' post='1273458' date='Jun 18 2011, 08:56 AM']I was / still am considering this as a compact head option. Just noticed it only has one speaker output though. Whichever head I end up going for, I'd like to be able to use either one Or two cabs depending on situation (without an additional power amp - as the original poster is planning). Speakon to 2No. jack cable - Does that exist?? If not, I'm guessing one would require a 4Ohm cab to make full use of the MB200... Hmmm??[/quote] Or just daisy chain two 8 ohm cabs...

I've used mine on gigs with no problems but I know people who say that they've struggled... depends on how loud your "small" gigs are

[quote name='Wolverinebass' post='1269989' date='Jun 15 2011, 01:00 PM']I was under the impression that the Ashdown stuff (amps at least) is designed by Clive Button the bloke who did quite a lot of the old Trace Stuff. If that's so, here's an idea. Revamp the old Trace Elliot MP11 preamp (sort of like the superfly with an 11 band graphic eq and midi footswitchable with channel memory) and pile in a proper digital power stage so say 500- 800W and valve gain. There. You have one of the most flexible amps you'll ever own. Loads of EQ options, stupidly lightweight and lots of shiny lights and buttons to appease people like me who like that sort of thing. I'd pay for that.[/quote] Good idea! Clive didn't do the MIDI part, that was done by John Price, a chap with a company called Kenton Electronics. I was talking to him about it the other day in fact. Shall I get him to contact Ashdown?

That seems to be the first Markbass head I might actually have GAS for.
