Eden (real) WT300 +cab vs Markbass CMD 121H

[Oshiwoshi]

Was on the point of buying a new CMD 121H. Now suddenly I have the opportunity to get a used US made WT300 plus 15" Eden cab for much less money.

I am humbly calling upon the wisdom of the board to offer me guidance as to the pros and cons of each, and the possibilities of regret at not buying the other one. - Thanks!

Is the Markbass new? Their amps seem to be only board level serviceable, so repairs can be pricey. The Eden gear can be worked on to component level by any decent tech.

Both will sound great, but I'd go for the Eden myself.

Thanks!
(yes the Markbass would be new)

Just thinking, s'funny how my old MM guitar amp is hybrid tranny pre - with a valve (tube) output and the Eden is the other way round...

Very good advice from Okcrum. Thanks!
Had the Eden for a while now with no regrets. My out of town buddy recently lent me his Markbass for comparison so I made this little vid for anyone who finds themselves in a similar dilemma.

I wouldn't pass up the classic Eden. I think those are going to get scarce someday, and they sound great doing it!
