I got mine in. Compared to my Gator Transit case that I've been using for a few years now, this one is 1000% better. It's more rigid and solid than the transit. Don't get me wrong the Transit is great (I paid $100 for mine at a local music store), but with the Icon being $100 on sale, it's not...

Such a great deal! I bought one as well. Can't wait to get it in. This will replace my Gator transit that's served me well.

I would get the Ampeg RB210 if you are looking to save weight. It's a nice all in one package and probably the best combo I've ever owned and I've owned many nice combos (Yamaha RB112, Fender Rumble 60, 100c, 500c, Hartke KB15, Bugera BXD15A, Trace Elliot Elf 1x10, Markbass CMD151p combo...

Well I've had RB210 for a few months now and it took a lot of getting used to. I bought it from a church that was selling it. It is a 2021 model with the eminence speakers. I actually wanted to sell it a couple of times. I just couldn't get over the white noise of the amp. It even has the white...

To me it doesn't change the sound much. You may lose some low end, but the RB still sounds wonderful!

I have one as well and was thinking about getting an extension, but I have been lifting my RB210 off the ground and stacking mine on our bands cable box. Its about 40 inches off the ground. I can hear myself great now!

This is true! I bought 2 Harley Benton basses because of their vids. Both turned out to be absolute duds! Necks were super unstable and the fretwork was horrible!

I believe these are the same amps as the Markbass Blackline 1x12. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Markbass/CMB-121-Black-Line-1x12-150W-Bass-Combo-Amplifier-1500000407537.gc

Well I really put my Ampeg RB210 to the test yesterday. I wanted to see how it handled by basses at almost full volume (probably 4 o'clock on the volume knob). I tested out both basses in my Avatar (Sire P5 and Ibanez GSR100EX) and I'm very pleased with the amp. The speakers did not distort or...

I bit on the same deal that Sweetwater had a couple of months ago. I bought a Black Sire P5 (Pictured in my Avatar). The build quality was excellent and on point with MIA Fenders that I've owned. The only downside IMO is the electronics (Pots and Input jack). They are very cheap and mine shorted...

Well my guy had a bit of a problem. When he opened the bass up and tried to use some of the parts that I sent with the bass. Regular CTS 250k pots, would not fit. The pot wasn't long enough. So now I had to order a set of longer CTS 500k pots. Now the waiting game begins.

Update on the bass. Not much to report, but I did replace the chrome GSR bridge with a black GSR bridge. I replaced the strap buttons to black as well. It really ties the look together in my opinion. The bass is holding together nicely and sounds amazing!

I brought my foundation to my tech to get new pots, input jack, and re wire the bass. I can't wait to get it back. I just ordered some new knobs for the bass as well. I'll take pics when I get the bass back.

Yeah I have a great P now in my Sire p5. I learned my lesson lol!

I had a 2011 exactly like that one. I miss it so much! Beautiful bass!
