Eden USA WT-300-B head (factory power section upgrade), serviced w/ gigbag: **SOLD** £350

[Etienne]

Hi everyone,

Regrettably, I need to sell this beautiful classic bass head, as the dreaded January lull in gigs means something needs to go to pay the rent

This was originally built in the USA in 1994 as a WT-300, and was returned at a later date to the Eden factory to be upgraded with the PM-400 power section and a larger toroidal transformer (a very common upgrade for the time).
It's essentially now a WT-400 in terms of output, and certainly feels like it when plugged into my pair of 8ohm Bergantino cabs- it certainly shifts air if you need it to! These early Eden amps truly sound great- there's loads of EQ if you need it, but if your bass sounds good to start with, you'll barely need to touch it.

Since owning it, I've had the head painstakingly overhauled. Every single capacitor on every circuit board has been replaced with top-quality components, and several of the resistors have been substantially upgraded for better reliability and heat-management. The improvements are completed by a brand-new, modern-spec cooling fan, and a Groove Tubes ECC83 now sits on the preamp board. With the new parts fitted, the amp is substantially quieter at idle, with far less background noise than standard, and runs so cool that the fan won't even kick in until you start playing at a decent volume!

I have road-tested the amp on gigs several times since the work was completed, and everything works as it should.
I've also kept the tired-out original components in a safe place, and can ship them along with the amp to its new owner as evidence of the work done.

Cosmetically, the amp is in fine shape for its 21 (and a bit) years- a few scratches and scuffs on the chassis are to be expected at this age. The only thing missing is the red plastic cover on the DI level knob... hardly the end of the world. This amp will likely still be going in another 21 years too, thanks to the easily-serviceable innards... try doing that with a Class D switch-mode amp, ha ha!

I'm looking for [size=5][b]£350 ONO[/b][/size] for this, which includes fast UK shipping and a used-but-decent Odyssey padded gig bag.

Please PM me if interested- thanks for looking
