Thanks Bob. Funny that you would respond - after reading everything on your website, I decided to start using my Fishman Pro-Eq again. Being a newbie, I though I should stop using it after I got the Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 - why have an external preamp when it has an onboard one, I thought...

I think my K&K Bass Max pickup died at the last gig. It crackled for a while and then gave no signal to the amp. The cable was brand new, no dead batteries in the signal chain, etc. My guess is a short or broken wire between the piezo element and the 1/4 inch connection. Anyone know how to...

It's 1x15, bulkier than I'd like and I just can't seem to hear it well on stage. I wouldn't mind a bit more power too.

Thanks for the great advice everyone. I may have fallen into the trap of thinking because it's there, it must be good, or useful, or necssary, such as with compression. Likewise, with a lot of talk about tubes, assuming they are the best. I'll likely need to do a bit more work to figure out...

I was afraid of that. It's actually CDN$500, which is about US$430, but it still seems a bit steep?

Any help appreciated. I've done what online research I can and haven't come up with much - is $500 a good price to pay for a 1998 Eden Nemesis NC210, assuming in good condition? Thanks!

Newbie here. I appreciate there are hundreds of posts for "amp advice", so I've tried to pose some specific questions. Any thoughts appreciated. Time to move from a practice amp (50w Yorkville) to something bigger. My "genre" is still unsettled, but mainly bluegrass, country, classic rock...
