AMP POLL 2!!!

[dwc3690]

Ok I have narrowed my search down.

I don't think I will want to go tube for the new amp, and I am between:

Gallien Krueger 2001RB
and
EA iAMP 800

Both are very different, tell me what you think...

 

[funkybassinator]

what do you want to do with it??

 

[dwc3690]

Right now I have a Bergantino HT210S (500w @ 4ohm) and a Patterson Audio 2x10 (500w @ 4ohm).

I need more power for some gigs, but also I want something that I can put Double Bass through as well.

I just want an amp that can utilize the 2ohm and the wattage, but also give me the option to downsize if I want to. Plus the versatility of electric to upright.

 

[ROON]

I was gonna say a 450w Ampeg SVT-3Pro until I read that you want more power.

 

[colorblindbass]

Neither, i say you buy a ........ bag of baby carrots.

 

[gkbass13]

i would wait unil the new thunderfunk head comes out.

 

[unclejam]

[Hawaii Islander]

+1

Find a good tube amp that handles 2 Ohms.

iAmp 800. It's my amp of choice

 

[unclejam]

Bass Vamp pro + a EP2500

 

[Mcrelly]

I voted EA, although I will say that Eden WT550 or WT800 sound very similar to the EA Iamp that I tried.

 

[lazyone2]

I vote Iamp800, Thats what I use with 2 wizzies. I like it.

 

[Mr_Dave]

i would wait unil the new thunderfunk head comes out.

iAmp 500wcombo from 2000 as a GP amp and SWR custom WM-10 for rehearsals and ultra small gigs. I replaced the WM-10 speaker with one from a Goliath and replaced the fiberglass damping material with foam rubber which in tandem firmed up the bottom end at higher (for this 80 watt amp) volume. I swear by EA for unparalleled response and power for it's size. SWR was the first dedicated bass amp company.

 

[dwc3690]

I want something that can be transparent to stay true to my basses sounds, and be able to naturally show a double bass.

I want something powerful, 1000watts at 2ohms...

I want the preamp, or equilization to be sensitive and powerful.

I like tube sound, i am just sick of tube issues.

Maybe the best amp for me is not one of these two, but either way I want to sell my Fafner for a new more powerful head.

 

[bradjonesbass]

Neither, I say you should buy an SD800... Or a Thunderfunk 800 when they come out.
