lidl e Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I was in a local shop today and asked about this. I can in no way justify the price, but I'd love to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 It's just so boring to look at, how many more times are Fender going to use the same old box "Got any of those same old wooden boxes we put all our guitar and bass combos in Chad?" "There's about 10,000 out the back Brad" "Oh man, how we goon shift those flipers Chad?" "We could always use 'The Fender Algorithm' Brad" "What you mean make the same item but call it something different, or say it came from the Custom Shop (sniggers) Chad" "Yes, but we'll use the even better and updated algorithm, make more money still if we can find a well past their best rock star to allow us to call it their Custom Shop Signature Amp Brad" "Ah, I can see why you're Worldwide Head of Horizon Scanning and Innovation at Fender Musical Instruments Corps Chad" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I’d like to play one. It’s never really gonna be enough live like most low power bass amps but it’d be fun. I’d rather play a mesa bassbuster200 into a couple of 12’s but yeah I might go to Glasgow and give it a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says its primarily a pick playing rock bassists amp, but it is quite flexible for different genres (Or words to that effect) But at only 50w thats gonna struggle down the Dog And Duck with my dad rock band. 🙂 A bit pricey too!. BTW why has Irish accent turned American?? ☺️ That's because Adam is not Irish. He was born near Oxford and his family moved to Ireland when he was 5. The Edge is also not Irish and was born in Essex to Welsh parents and moved to Ireland when he was 1. Only Bono and Larry are Irish.

tedmanzie Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Andertons were advertising these for £1499 over the weekend, I'd be very interested to try one. I currently only record bass in the studio (no live) and I DI it straight into my UAD through an Ampeg plugin, but the thought of a real tube amp combo is quite tempting...

Cat Burrito Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I am not much of a fan but the video was interesting. I liked his approach to bass and listening to the history. I thought it sounded pretty rubbish though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with only a volume and no gain control, how do you drive this if you want valve saturation? Pre amp or change the valves to something more sensitive (hot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
