Bought - Eden Nemesis NC-320 the 410 combo

[Ian Canefire]

Hi All,
On a whim I just purchased a used bass combo from Guitar Center in Buffalo NY.
Eden Nemesis NC-320
320watt
4x10
cost with shipping $490.00

I gather its possible that it was once owned by someone in the Talkbass Forum.
Know that it is going to a good home. I already own a Eden 212 combo. I like Eden.
It was a hard decision. For slightly more money I could purchase, as all of you know, a more modern combo amp (GK 210, Fender Rumble 210), or a more separate amp and cabinet.
I was talking to a friend who is a much better bassist than I am (a gigging professional) who stated that I would enjoy the sound, especially since it doesn't have the openings along the bottom of the cabinet. He showed me the designs of many other 410s and said that for the style I play this old design will sound pleasing. The only drawback will be the size and weight.
So I am awaiting the arrival of my new to me but old 410 combo. If you have any knowledge please share.

Cheers,
Ian

I still have my faithful 2x10 Nemesis: a real killer. Lots of sonic pressure in a lightweight combo. Guess the 4x10 would move serious air, too... V.

There was an amazing deal on an Nemesis NC212 one town away, this week. Sadly, it sold too fast for me to get there. Solid amps, then and now.

Great amp if you can handle the weight!

Hi all,
The amp arrived. It sounds great. I was thinking it would be larger. It is low and wide. My eden cxc 212 is much bigger.
It weighs about 78 pounds. It is easy to lift. Not as awkward to handle as the 212.
I will make a YouTube video about it soon.
Cheers
Ian

I have the Nemesis RS410 combo and love it. I believe it's similar to yours but maybe a little newer?

@biguglyman yes my research stated that the difference between your RS410 at 320 watts and my NC-320 410 combo is that one is in series and the other wired parallel. The rest of it looks almost identical except for mine being blue, mine saying NC-320 on the top, the buttons and knobs are slightly in different placement.
I tried my six string bass on it and the low B string sounds nice. I have an 8ohm avatar 210 cabinet also. I look forward to connecting the two. I will add that to the video I am going to make about this combo.
I am grateful for this amp and look forward to playing with it and crafting my own tone with it.
Talkbass has been such a great resource. I have spent a few days reading everything I could about this eden combo, and various other rig combinations. Almost pulled the trigger on a 4x8 by a different brand. However the size and weight of this particular combo EDEN NC320 410 is fine and the low end sound is clear. I made a good choice.
Now if anyone has any ideas as to what I should do in the video I plan to make this weekend let me know. Right now, it will be...
1)Comparison of Eden CXC300 2x12 w/ avatar 210 vs Eden NC-320
2) in depth playing on the Eden NC-320 with a six and a four string bass
3) Connect Eden NC-320 w/ avatar 210 play six and four string basses

Cheers,
Ian

Try to get one (Nemesis) made in America, the blue ones.
