lozkerr Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 "Eden are one of the most recognized brands in the bass guitar world..." Which I guess is why Marshall effectively let them go bust before flogging off the remains to Gear4Music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably all rusty too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Eden stuff on the Gear4Music site is being sold cheap too. There's nothing there that I need, though. It's a real shame. I love the Eden sound.

RussFM Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I bought some as a backup last time I was in there, I haven't tried them, but they're in a sealed foil packet like Ernie Balls so i'm sure they'll last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might convey a bit of it - WTP600 head and 210 cab by Eden, song by Joy Division, mistakes by me: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if we have a continuum with SWR, with the super-clean, high-tech, tweeter-dominated sound on one side, with Ampeg, with its warm, woolly tone on the other, then Eden was somewhere in the middle - warmer and punchier than SWR, but still much more modern in terms of tone than Ampeg. Marshall missed a trick with Eden. Well, multiple tricks, really. On one hand, I’m glad that Marshall didn’t subsume Eden into its range the same way Fender did with SWR (let’s face it, every bass amp that Fender has released in the past 10 years is a descendent of what they inherited from SWR), but they also didn’t give it the care and attention the brand needed and kinda just let it slowly wither. David Nordschow’s current DNA range show where Eden could have ended up. He should get the name back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
