[quote name='Shonks' post='1212728' date='Apr 27 2011, 03:28 PM']nope....you are wrong -- but thanks for being so protectctive to our fellow basschatters!! ... the the speaker inside is rated 150 watts @ 8 ohms , and your right in that the amp says 150 watts rms>>> but at [b]150 watts @ 8ohms - and 300 watt peak[/b]. Peak I assumed was meant at 4ohms - seems logical to me captain. it has an extra 8 ohm speaker output so it max output is 4ohms !!! [/quote] Sorry dude, KeV is right and you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the spec! The amp will produce 150W RMS into 4 ohms, with potential to peak at 300W. Into the internal 8ohm speaker it'll produce around 90W RMS probably. The fact that the speaker is rated 150W has feck all bearing on the power output ability of the amp
  2. Ooooh, I will have one of these one day, alas I have not the money at the moment
  3. Great amp, great price, great guy to deal with
  4. [quote name='fryer' post='1210765' date='Apr 25 2011, 12:20 PM']Hi, next weekend we are playing at an outdoor charity festival. They have a PA, but we will be using our own amps. I have a Peavey Firebass 700 - 400 w at 4 ohm, 700 at 2 ohm. I have my Epifani UL 410 - 1000 w at 4 ohm, and a spare Peavey 410 cab - 400 w at 4 ohm. I can't use the Firebass at full volume, 'cos I assume it could blow the Peavey cab ? So, do I need a new amp ? If so, what do I get ? Something that could run two differently powered cabs. Or do I get a power amp ? Do I then use the 'DI' output into the power amp ? What power amp could I get that would run the two differently powered cabs ? Thank You for any replies. Richard[/quote] You're reading the numbers on the cabs and assuming they mean something. They don't. In theory the PV cab should be ideally suited to the Firebass head as they both say 400w at 4 ohms, but frankly I'd ignore that... Take the advice of all here, Firebass plus Epi, and you'll be fine.

The convenience you get from these little heads really can't be argued with and they're definitely not lacking tone or presence.[/quote] Damn right, loving it. Got a gig in a couple of weeks which is screaming out for it to be used instead of my Eden WT550, can't wait to try it Might do a proper A/B test actually, Eden vs GK, just fo' shits and giggles
  6. Nice, thanks for posting
  7. [quote name='voxpop' post='1206862' date='Apr 21 2011, 11:05 AM']Here's my small gig / rehearsal rig...... [attachment=78052:DSCN1345.JPG] SWR Headlite with a Working Pro 10 cab. Small, clear and compact.[/quote] Christ that's minute! That Headlite can't be much bigger than my MB200, wow
  8. [quote name='Chris Horton' post='1207658' date='Apr 21 2011, 10:50 PM']Those G&K MB200 amps look super cool . How do they sound ? I am thinking of pairing one with my Epifani 110 cab[/quote] Surprisingly loud and very clear, tight sound. Reminds me of earlier TE gear set flat but with tonnes more bottom end. Love it Cab now having it's refurb, should be finished this weekend
  9. I've never had to wait longer than about 2 or 3 days for my Hotwires to come through, what gauge/style did you go for?
  10. Me wanty that MB Fusion, looks awesome!
  11. [quote name='Monckyman' post='1200043' date='Apr 14 2011, 10:26 PM']Sorry, I wasn`t responding to the last post,that made a lot of sense. I was referring to Alexclabers superior declamation.[/quote] So was I
  12. [quote name='Monckyman' post='1199791' date='Apr 14 2011, 07:19 PM']Hah! > Just been baffled by bullsh*te. Ok as you like.[/quote] Not bullsh*te but fact, probably
  13. Unfortunately not quite for me but some should def snap up these bargains soon
  14. [quote name='obbm' post='1199850' date='Apr 14 2011, 08:01 PM']I'll be interested to hear the results.[/quote] I'll let you know, it'l not be til 15th May tho If you want to have a play with it (er, the MB200...) you're more than welcome
  15. Nice one! Loving my MB200, can't wait to gig it
  16. Bought a set of DR HiBeams off Gilles, he even stuck spare BADG strings in for free, top fella! Many thanks for a smooth and easy transaction
  17. [quote name='thack' post='1197011' date='Apr 12 2011, 04:46 PM']Im try to find a camera. hopefully have pics tommorow. Im only in cardiff on sunday this week. :s[/quote] Cool, cheers! I'm in Porthcawl Fri and Sat, heading home Sunday morning so we might be able to make this work
  18. [quote name='Low End Bee' post='1196726' date='Apr 12 2011, 12:53 PM']It does.........apart from the cost. 500 notes. Ouch![/quote] Ah yes, forgot that one GK MB200 is a good suggestion too, just over £200...
  19. [url="http://www.swrsound.com/products/search.php?partno=4415050000"]SWR Amplite[/url] ticks your boxes I believe
  20. [quote name='Ashdown Engineering' post='1196330' date='Apr 11 2011, 10:38 PM']yes it isn't fully parametric but the controls do all interact with one another hence us describing it as semi parametric, we will however now simply describe it as an interactive eq if this will make people happier ;-)[/quote] Brilliant of you to come on and answer this thread, nice one I don't have aproblem with it being called semi parametric (because it is), I have a problem with that being labelled as "7-band" when it really is only 4 band EQ, of which three are semi parametric Looking forward ot trying one out
  21. IMO the best bass combo ever, good luck
  22. [quote name='eude' post='1193803' date='Apr 9 2011, 02:34 PM']Little bit more info >> [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn_mNY56Hsc&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn_mNY56Hsc...feature=related[/url] Eude[/quote] Love the way he introduces the amp with exactly the same words Ashdown use on their flyers, and used for the Superfly, and the LGs....
  23. If Martin hasn't taken the 1x12 I'm v interested, any pics? In Cardiff next w/e so could collect
