My story, though old, is rather more in praise of GC. My bro used to work there around 15yrs ago while he lived in East Bay Ca. I had flown in from London UK with my trusty MIJ made SGC Bass Collection and I was introduced to the store manager by his then ex-member of staff (bro). I basically...

A few years ago I put my NS 5 string eub up for sale. Girlfriend found out and promptly presented me with a cheque for 1500 Samolians (UK) and said, "Right , I own it, now you keep it!" We have been together 12yrs Reckon she's a 'keeper'. Waddaya say?

I was really impressed with my GK RB700 mkII. I bought it coz a local session guy was an endorser of the brand. I ran it through their own 2x10. At less than 1yr old the magic genie escaped and it had a total melt down. I was just doing my annual gear check at v low volume (barely audible) when...

When I was a kid I bought a Hofner violin bass (as per Paul McC). Hopeless ND. Had to screw a 2lb lump of roofing lead inside by the volume pots, (Come on, it would have looked stoopid with a bag of sugar hangin from the bottom strap button!) but even that amount didn't fully sort the problem...

Another technique as espoused by many bass amp owners is to gently back off the highs and mids, leaving the bass at mid point. This has a similar effect and allows for a little more gain without blowing something. I have tried it on my rig (Eden World Tour) and it works well in average/small...

I'm with Gearhead17 on this. I've played many stages with supplied Ampeg backline and on occasion I've been able to tell the engineer that I'll be putting my WT800 on top. I agree that generally Ampeg cabs are known for huge low end, but lets not forget the kind of ropey stages most venues have...

After all this (some thread!) I'm really hoping that nobody comes along to buy my Eden WT800 so I get the chance to decide to maybe keep it alongside my new Streamliner900 by using it next weekend's gig with my 410xlt. Unlike many players I 'm not too fussed about my 'tone', that for me is the...

Hi Trev I feel your pain bro. I have Eden 410xlt and 210xlt's and a couple of years ago got the Eden Crease syndrome in the 210. Had the drivers reconed for £40 plus tax each. The guy upgraded the spec and they've been fine since. Came to sell my 410 and discovered the same darned problem. Had...

To the OP, as many watts as it takes to thoroughly drown out the guitar.... if you so desire. ;) Once the ego playing it realises he's comprehensively outclassed, the guitar wars syndrome calms down a little. :bassist: I've heard every excuse in the book about how he "has to be this loud" to...

For years I've stuck with my trusty G-K MB150E 1x12 combo. Its even managed a couple of low volume gigs and handled my eub! I've used it for studio monitoring DI'd to desk and on stage as fold back. Plug in a 4ohm extension cab and voila! 150watts. Truly a piece of near vintage pro gear...

Thanks Hobobob. To clarify your good point, I'm planning to drop the rack case for most small gigs and carry the amp in a shoulder bag and go back to my hand held tuner. Should I feel the need for out-board compression I can still use my Presonus Blue Max as its only a half U.

I used a pr of TVX410's for a while. Nice sound. Very full bass. Until I discovered a single Eden 410 was actually better and thus one less box to load.... Seriously tho, go with 810 for that rock God look on stage for as long as your back will take it! Mixing a 15 in will IMHO muddy the sound...

:help: For 10 yrs now I've been using an Eden rig - wt800/210 & 410 xlts. Its great, I love it and I'm keeping it. Trouble is I'm getting less happy with the combined weight of the rack case (amp/tuner/compressor) so I've been looking at the latest tech of class D amps. My first choice is to...
