mojobass Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Seriously want either one of these but dont really know which one would be best? Ive read mixed reviews about both, but for the price they fit my needs, powerful and light! any advice from users of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krysbass Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 As you may know; the Superfly was discontinued a couple of years back, so if you buy one now it will either be secondhand, or very old stock. I’ve used a Superfly 500 for a couple of years of weekly band practice and monthly gigs and so far mine has escaped the unreliability issues and the worst of the “whistling” problems suffered by many of these amps. But maybe I've been lucky here, so unless you can pick one up in fully working order at a bargain price, (ie; so cheap that you have money left over to replace it if it goes bang) then best steer clear of the Superfly and go for the newer, less complicated Little Giant. I think one of the Superfly's main issues from a reliability viewpoint is that it doesn't have a cooling fan and can get very hot - the Little Giant has a cooling fan built in. There are plenty of threads on Basschat about the Superfly if you need more background info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
