I would love to try one of these!

The Rolls Royce of bass amps; I have the Blue Rock which is similar I believe (different preamp). The power amp is effortlessly powerful, the fan is silent (I mean absolutely silent even after a hard 3 hour gig) and the EQ is ridiculously flexible. Superb amps -

I am not going to lie, that thought crossed my mind too! But given Mike’s order book I decided against it, and accidentally bought an ACG fretless from Alan instead. As you do 😆 -
How does it compare to the BF Two10?
-
Both the options above are sound. My initial thought was a Super Compact as @chris_b said, but the Epifian cabs are great shout by @Gareth Hughes too.

That is lovely, it’s pretty much exaclty what I’d go for in a Lionel too. Enjoy (when it arrives!) -
Not surprised they didn’t last long 😅

Ashdown RM610 cab for £124?!! https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/ashdown-rm-610t-evo-bass-cabinet Ashdown Shavo head for £314?!! https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/ashdown-head-22-shavo-signature-600w-rackmount-head You can thank me by paying me the difference 😄

These are great cabs. Very loud, clear, full blooded noises. And Joe is a good egg, albeit with far too many P basses 😀 -
Very cool!
-
Yep, I've never used an Active input, always use the passive input and adjust the Gain to suit.

Get this, if you don’t like it you won’t lose much/anything moving it on..:

I’m mainly a rock player and so like warmth, punch, some grit, but also some clarity. The RM800 is a good class D head for all of that, especially paired with the Two10. I think it’s a huge step change from the MiBass heads. I only moved mine on because I managed to snag a Glockenklang Blue Rock which is incredible.
-
I didn’t read your first post properly - a Two10 and RM5/800 won’t sound boomy at all, as long as you don’t go crazy on the bass EQing of course I basically ran that rig* last year and it was glorious. *two One10s but the difference is negligible.
-
Could be the cab too… Personally found the Rootmaster 5/800 heads to be very good. Punchy, loud, clear, a good warm core tone, drive option is nice too.

Class D is solid state... This is solid state class AB - big toroidal transformer in the PSU and MOSFET AB power amp. Class D is a power amp topology generally using MOSFETs as well, often used with Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) as between them they lower the weight. -
Jerry Lee Lewis was kinda Rock’n’Roll… 🤦🏼♂️

I’ve always though my ACG Skelf has a slight Spector quality about it so would be happy to throw that into the ring. Not really sure if that’s what you’re going for or trying to compare 5 different Js or Ps or something?
-
The way I read that he’s saying that either your amp was the source of the farting (through clipping pre or power amp) or the drivers really were farting probably because of too much LF content. If the amp was the source, then you need a more powerful amp. If the speakers were the source then you need more speakers. Hope that makes sense?

Haha! I think you’re probably right 😁 Good fun gig though, thanks for letting me step in your shoes 😎
