Grand Wazoo Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I love my Promethean now... I can take the head anywhere, plug it in whatever cab, or carry it as a combo and it's got great balls of fire, pukka! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algmusic Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 [quote name='Faithless' post='936396' date='Aug 25 2010, 08:55 PM'] Err, it's cool, mate.. Well, I'm no spec, when it comes to tech stuff, but HB stuff isn't 'quality' gear in the end, is it.. I couldn't get on with design anyway, so Ibby remains my best bet.. easy faith[/quote] What basis can you say it's not 'quality' gear? I've seen items that don't look as good, but speak to a tech guy and find it's actually better Fair point it's not as pretty as the ibby though.. but for the saving... I'd give the HB a ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I've not heard any HB gear, but if you look at this bundle the cabs do look a bit Behringer-like: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ba500h_bundle.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ba500h_bundle.htm[/url] Doesn't necessarily mean HB are no good! More information needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basswesty Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I've had one of these heads for a while now. Cannot fault it for the money. Very loud (@4ohms) and very clean. Useful EQ system that works really well although I usually leave it flat... I have also recorded using my Promethean, excellent results.

dumelow Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 try the talkbass forums, i think HB is a bit more popular in the states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) For a long time I've been gagging for that Ibanez PS combo.. well, I really was since I've spotted Genz Benz stuff, which is tad lighter, and while it's a priority to me, I went GB way.. the difference in weight was quite huge - Ibby (1x12, but they don't offer smaller size cabs) weighs 12,5kg along with the head, while GB (1x10)- only 8,2kgs.. I'm waiting for it to be delivered on Monday, we'll see how it goes.. Edited December 18, 2010 by Faithless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny-lad Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 [quote name='sk8' post='934720' date='Aug 24 2010, 12:19 PM'][url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ba5110c.htm"]Thomann[/url] Promethean anyone?[/quote] I found [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?p=9647137&highlight=beta+aivin#post9647137"]this[/url] on the big Ibanez promethean thread on talkbass about the thomann amp. Apparently, Ibanez sub-contracted a company called Beta-Aivin to design the Promethean, and that appears to be the same company who make the Harley Benton bass amps. Bit off topic, but there are also some Roland cube like stuff that appear to come from Beta-Aivin too, like the Thomann bass cube style amp.

Salt on your Bass? Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I've been looking at both of these as a back up/slave off of my shuttle 9.....they dont have an effects loop though, is there any problem running the Effects out from the genz into the front end of either of these? Sorry a bit off topic........ might pull the trigger after xmas if the solution's feasible..... cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
