DiMarco Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Modesty is often mistaken with uncertainty. I've been dealing with bass gear for 25+ years now, why pretend to not know what to get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 [quote name='DiMarco' timestamp='1418583868' post='2631444'] Try one where? Welcome to the Netherlands where every shop has the same sh*tty stack of class D bass amps. [/quote] Have you tried Paul Sips Bass Matters? He has an amazing range of gear including esoteric valve stuff like Jule Monique, Prolude, Orange and even Mesa Boogie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiMarco Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Picked it up today from the shop. Took it for a spin on the Goliath Jr. With my Jazz, Ric and Warwick Dolphin. Worthless amp I hate it.... But seriously, IT KICKS SOME SERIOUSLY SERIOUS ASS!!! SERIOUSLY. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

challxyz Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Eh DiMarco have you tried it with a full band yet? This is probably a silly question but is it loud enough? I'm extremely jealous btw of your latest purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 It broke one of the ceiling lights in the rehearsal room. I use it with an Eden D212XLT + SWR Goliath Jr. III 2x10. So yeah, very loud indeed. Big ballsy low end as well. Gigged with it several times and it kills. At first I had to get used to the amp, coming from a nice Trace Elliot SMX with built in dual band compressor. This tube amp is much more responsive to nuances it revealed in a horrible way that the SMX had turned me into a lazy player. I really love the amp now with its buttery but articulate tone. It does not colour the tone of your bass like an Ampeg does and it is very portable at 13kg. Everything I play now sounds very lively and warm and the tone I get through this baby with my Ric 4003 is just awesome. Problem I now face is I want my tone coming out FOH as well so I bought some kick mics that have little or no scooped mids (Sennheiser E902 and Audiotechnica ATM250) for this purpose. Of course there is also the trusty old SM57 but those sound kinda boxy to me. Might also try one of my Beyerdynamic M201's on the bass cab. I got the full stack set up at my attic for testing and deciding on which mic and mic positioning to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderpaws Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Some of the features on this amp are brilliant. Silent record, switchable power both brilliant. Sounds pretty good on YouTube videos, which are always hard to judge I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

challxyz Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 That looks the business! Is that the big twin? I've had so many great comments about my bass sound since gigging this rig, really pleased I went for it, was a little concerned it might not be loud enough but absolutely no worries there at all, thanks for convincing me ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yes indeed. My Big Twin arrived early february replacing an Eden 212. Never been happier about my tone. The five way preset switch and EQ on the amp seem to have more effect since switching cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I moved mine on also, after trying it with several cabs I decided it was bland sounding, and the least 'valve sounding' valve amp I ever played, good features though. My old Buster Bass had a nicer tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
