Prime_BASS Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 [quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1386515062' post='2300889'] I've heard the EBS amps have a distinctive 'voice' that one either 'gets' or doesn't. [/quote] I wouldn't say so, very transparent excellent frequency response, and power for days. Shep on here has some sort of EBS head and it'll do coloured vintage all the way to modern hi fi. Played with the EQ and gain and it felt a down sight louder than his old 1200w digital power amp with a similar EBS preamp. IIRC at least. The 650watter for sale at 450 quid. I don't think you'll get much more quality ampage at that price secondhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauBass Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1386416975' post='2299836'] DB750. Best around, IMV. not entirely SS as it has a large valve pre stage but the back end power is THERE... [/quote] Yes, DB750!...It has such a big/powerful sound, nothing Ive tried has come even close and [size=4]I have tried many, many amps (EBS, GK, various Ampegs...), for me this is the one [/size] [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got rid of mine because I often take public transport to gigs so it wasn't exactly practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1386420735' post='2299913'] This Marshall DBS7200 (with cab) is a steal at £200 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/223914-marshall-dbs-7200-amp-and-7015-cab/page__hl__dbs__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] I had the 7400 and it was a great amp, just too heavy for me. [/quote] I have the DBS7400 and I love it. "Only" 400 Watts (into 2 Ohm), but has a peak of 4000 Watts rather than a more typical 800 for 400W continuous, so sounds far louder than the 400 watts would suggest. My 'small' rig is this into an 8 ohm Vanderkley MNT112, and it's deafening. This beast can drive 4 of these !! and I can't imagine how loud that would be. But ........ It does weigh a ton (and the fan can be noisy for practice purposes). Also, to me the difference between the solid state preamp and the valve pre-amp is not as dramatic as I'd like it, but that might just be a valve change required.

Conan Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Loud, heavy and old school? Lots of tone-shaping? Trace Elliot AH500, or even an old AH250. Mk V or earlier. They don't come up so often now, but are usually pretty cheap when they do... If this one is still available it would be right up your street - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/179717-vintage-one-owner-trace-elliot-rack-gp11-ra-500-2-x-250w-bi-amp-system-in-skb-6u-flightcase/page__p__1712034__hl__ah500__fromsearch__1#entry1712034"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/179717-vintage-one-owner-trace-elliot-rack-gp11-ra-500-2-x-250w-bi-amp-system-in-skb-6u-flightcase/page__p__1712034__hl__ah500__fromsearch__1#entry1712034[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damonjames Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 [quote name='Jack' timestamp='1386532514' post='2301178'] You should. The 1001-II I owned was an absolute beast in terms of sheer output. Kinda miss it, but I love the MBF. [/quote] This, all the way to the bank my friend! I love mine, master volume doesn't go past 9 o'clock... And we are pretty loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 As mentioned earlier - Peavey Firebass, also Tour 700s can be picked up cheaply. Prefer my Tour 700s to the VBA 400 I owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 In the BC tradition of recommending whatever is in one's sig, I'd say Carvin B2000. Very loud and punchy SS rock amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Loud = Peavey Heavy = Peavey Old School = Peavey It's what's called a no-brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt on your Bass? Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 This fender fits the bill as well - depending on funds. Based on the old sunn following fender take over... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/189481-fs-fender-tb-1200-amp-head-l550/page__fromsearch__1 I quite fancy giving it a go but funds don't allow presently. Also like the peavy stuff, and rocking an abm ii at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumour6 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Peavey Tour 700 is a cracking bit of kit, used it with 2x 15 Marshall 1550s or a Sound Tech NS410s... PLENTY... Not too heavy but a real punch at volume, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
