    Modern amps that sound like the Eden Nemesis line?

    Can you give an example of an EQ setting you typically do above 1khz with your Eden? (I'm genuinely curious, I'll try to replicate it with my Sisma)

    Modern amps that sound like the Eden Nemesis line?

    Have you tried a Quilter Bass Block v803? I've never heard a Eden, but your description in the initial post made me think about the 803…

    New to Power Amps - anything to look out for?

    I think it could be a useful feature for long threads. Imagine a thread with a technical question, then you have 43 pages of comments (some of them about coyotes eating pets, or the colors of sports cars) Page 12 Agedhorse gives a great answer to OP's initial question, but it's burried in the...

    New to Power Amps - anything to look out for?

    Yes, if you plug the Super Vintage in the FX Return of a Mesa 800D, you get zero Mesa coloring, even if you don't set everything flat, it simply bypasses the preamp of the 800D, as if your SV was pluged in a "power amp direct input" of the 800D (of course, such a direct input doesn't exist, but...

    New to Power Amps - anything to look out for?

    You can simply use any class D amp, and plug the preamp in the FX return, that's what most of us do. Full featured bass amps are generally cheaper than power amps (because the market for power amps is smaller, so there's less economy of scale) If you insist on buying a power amp: GSS Sumo Jad...

    Cab weight

    I wonder if he's more afraid that his coyote will join a wild pack, or that it will eat your cat. By the way, have you checked to make sure your cat is still at home?

    Amp suggestions

    The Quilter Bass Block 803 is the lightest 800-watt Class D amplifier, it's affordable, sounds great and it's versatile. With 3 voicings ("modern", "warm", and "qtube"), a normal or mid-scooped input, and a 3 band EQ with semi-parametric mids, you can easily set it to sound to your liking, and...

    Is Paul right?

    I prefer artists who play what they are willing to play at a given moment, even if I'm frustrated. I remember seing The Cure live in 1982. I was expecting "Boys Don't Cry" and "A Forest", but they only played songs from Faith and Pornography (very dark albums). What a bummer, 100% frustration...

    Assembling a rig made from one country.

    In France we have many luthiers, boutique pedals and amp builders but no strings. Not as many as in Italy, Germany or England though, and brands are smaller.

    Barefaced Two10 vs Big Baby 3?

    Did you ask Alex? No direct experience with them, but from what I know of my One10 and Super Compact, and for your tonal goals, I think you'll be happier with the BB3.

    Small amp/cab combo for acoustic bass guitar

    This. I agree 100% with all these options and their description. You can probably add a few options from Markbass. Another route would be to take an active version of the Barefaced One10 or Super Mini, or GR Bass AT110 + a preamp (I suppose @scubaduba already owns several :))

    Small amp/cab combo for acoustic bass guitar

    That's a different category, much louder and fuller. You can easily play with a drummer, and even at low volume you can get much more low end. The Double 4 is surprisingly loud for its size, but it doesn't beak the law of physics. Also you can play in a very small room with the Double 4 but not...

    Tech 21 Geddy Lee Amalgamation Chorus (What in the Geddy is this?)

    Thank you, and sorry (I usually hate when people ask questions that have been replied already :roflmao:).

    Tech 21 Geddy Lee Amalgamation Chorus (What in the Geddy is this?)

    I'm interested in this pedal, but I wonder how these internal trim pots works, and I couldn't find any info. Can owners share their findings? The video says "we have trim pots inside so you can adjust how aggressive or demure the deviate function is" But @IronLung1986 and @MrBassman22 talk...
