FS: Eden Navigator Pre, Stewart 1.2 Poweramp

[Akito]

Hey guys and gals! I'm putting up my Eden Nav pre and Stewart 1.2 poweramp for sale.
Eden Nav- asking $500.00 Price drop $450.00 last price drop $430.00 shipped
Stewart World 1.2 $375.00 shipped Price drop $345.00 last price drop $325.00
Buy them together for $740.00 and I'll throw in a rack tuner if you want it.
I have a 6 space SKB rack as well that we can talk about if anyone is interested, but I'm sure shipping would be a bit more.

This rig has served me well and has never had a single issue or glitch. They have both always been racked and are in great shape. The Eden comes with the footswitch.
I'll post pics and details in a bit. The Eden Nav is one of the best bass pres out there imo, and has just a ton of great features.
This has been my backup rig for a while now since I became infatuated with my Ampeg tube head, but I used it with my Epi UL410 last night on a huge stage and it just killed!

Info on the Eden from their website:

Our WP100 preamp features a tube input stage, dbx type compression with variable threshold and rate controls, tube character control, enhance control, the famous Eden semi-parametric eq, front panel D.I. output control, mono pre-eq loop, stereo post-eq loop, side-chain loop with front panel blend pot, variable crossover, stereo led output meters, tuner out, a set of stereo and mono XLR outputs, and a defeatable limiter. The front panel switches that defeat the compressor, enhance, mute, and turbo boost are duplicated on a lighted footswitch that connects via a standard, easily replaceable midi cable. $1,099.90

WP100 Specs Power 8Ω/4Ω/2Ω N/A
Power Mono Bridge N/A
Distortion <.01%
Frequency Response 10Hz - 20KHz ±2dB
Dimensions 17"w x 3.5"h x 12"d
Weight 12 LBS

The leds on the front panel make it easy to know when you have different features engaged like the compressor, gain boost, etc. and also show you how hot your signal is going into and out of the pre. The DI controls and pre/post eq switch being on the front make it very easy to use and tweak on the fly. The compressor is really nice btw.

Answered some PMs and noticed that today I got 2 that were obviously meant for someone else. Is anyone else getting mixed up PMs or is this just a coincidence? What's going on TalkBass?
BTW a note on shipping. I usually let the shipping company pack the gear I ship even though it is ridiculously expensive. Here's why- these shipping companies police themselves on damaged boxes and have no qualms about turning down a claim that was packed by a customer, insurance or no insurance, and regardless of if it was packed sufficiently. If the company packs the gear, they can't claim the packaging doesn't meet their standards. I'm pretty convinced that if you don't do this, it is fairly pointless buying insurance. I almost always get the shipping company to sign off saying they did the packaging and then get the insurance. Otherwise you are rolling the dice.

Here are some pics taken this afternoon...

Eden footswitch and midi cable. You can see it has convienent leds in the footswitch to let you know what you have engaged at a glance

Both of these pieces have run like a Swiss watch, no visits to a tech needed, no failures etc. Very reliable stuff. No real rack rash on the Eden, some on the stewart from cables that I would wrap up and set on top of it when closing up my rack.
The knob for channel one on the Stewart fell off the post at some point and I tossed it in a bag intending to tighten it later and lost the knob. I' ve been using a custom knob left over from one of my basses on that post, which is fine and undamaged. I think the knob just got loose over time. I'll replace the knob before I ship it.
Ah, looking through my other rack setup I found the knob for channel one, so problem solved!

PMs answered bump. For fun i weighed both of these. The Nav came in at 10.2 pounds and the Stewart at 12.6!

[Akito]

Price drop. Used this set up this weekend with the footwitch. It's pretty darn nice! I got some killer tones using the turbo gain boost, and it's very cool being able to switch the enhance (which is like the swr aural enhancer) on and off at will to get a great slap tone.

[Akito]

bump for another drop. Get some killer gear in great shape for less than half of new!

[fretman4god]

pm your way.

[Akito]

bump!

[Akito]

bump one more time, why not?

[JonathanD]

PMed Trade offer.

[Akito]

bump, and my apologies for being away from my computer for the last couple of days!

[smoothebass]

I'll take the navigator at $430.00 shipped! Let me know something?

[Brim]

$430 is sick. If I needed this unit I'd be all over this. My little wt550 does it all for my needs.
