Linus27 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thanks Dood. I am thinking about getting one of these as a small combo to take to rehearsals with my acoustic band as believe it or not, lugging my MarkBass CMD121H combo every Tuesday and Thursdays is getting a pain due to its size and weight. Something even smaller like this EBS would be great. However, I am a bit worried that it will be a little under powered but even more that it might suffer from what i have found most low output combos suffer from and thats a thin nasally middy sound with little tone and definition. I have a 30 watt Laney and it sounds like a wet paper box. As soon as you try and add any bass it just goes boxy and muddy. Does this suffer from this at all or does it tonally have definition and character? Sorry for all the questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Well I managed to get pretty much a brand new one of these of Ebay for a bargain price and all I can say is wow. Normally for gigs and rehearsalswith my acoustic band I use my MarkBass 121H combo but to be honest, dragging it to rehearsals every Tuesday and Thursday is getting a bit much and a bit overkill so I wanted something a lot smaller and easier to move. First of all, the look and quality is top notch. It looks so very cool and so very vintage. Its not that light but easy enough to carry. Tonally it sounds superb. Only tried my MIA Precision but it growls with a wonderful deep vintage tone. Not muddy in anyway but deep and punchy. Wonderful. For such a small combo, I was worried that it might sound boxy and nasly but not this at all. If you start playing with the filter and character button then even more amazing tones can be had. Oh and one more thing, its very very loud which is very surprising for a 60 watt amp. This is my first taste of EBS stuff and I am mighty impressed. It has got me considering the bigger 120 watt brother for gigs or even exploring other EBS gear. Just when I thought I was settled with MarkBass, along comes this amazing EBS gear.

[/quote] Thank you. It really is a cracking little combo. Such a warm vintage tone. At the moment, I am trying to find prices for the for the classic session 120 but nothing yet available online. I imagine its going to be around £450 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I don't think it's shipping yet. I find shipping dates from EBS always a little optimistic! I suspect that £450 is about the right price. You investigated the classic 450 with your existing cabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Ok thank you. No, all I need these days is a combo so I have a MarkBass 121H combo for gigs and the EBS Session 60 for rehearsals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
