Alembic F1X

[pipers dad]

I would put the F1X in a tiny rack case on top of the 610, then put the YBA300 on top of that and use only the Traynor, the F1X for show only.

I am sensing some attitude here, sir

I'll second the Stewart PA1000. Matches great with my Alembic F1x. Plus, if you can find one, they tend to be priced low but are an amazing piece of pro gear with a remarkable amount of power in such a tiny 1-rack size. They were way ahead of their time.

That said, my setup of choice is to run the Alembic into the power section of my Guild Thunderstar Bass head. The tone is to die for! If I want extra power and clean headroom though, I'll bring the Stewart.

this looks like a solid choice! looks like $300

No offense intended, I just really like the preamp in the YBA300...

Now all you need is an SF-2 Superfilter, . All good recommendations. The Crown XLS 1502 with the F1-X together in a rack would be cool too.

This is a great thread. There is a guy selling a some qsc 1400s for cheap. I need to look at the specs but maybe that would be a good option?

Large, old and heavy, but shallow and cheap.

Sounds like my ex-wife.

IMO (for what it’s worth) - you scored on an awesome, classic preamp. You currently have 3amps you can use it with perfectly well. Don’t rush into buying “a power amp”. It’s not like using a dedicated power amp will hugely change your sound or experience in a way that you Need Right Now. Take some time, learn and enjoy the FX1, and take some time researching and shopping for the right power amp.

Crown, Crest, QSC...

The usual supects

Or using the effects return of many of the current light weight bass amps.
