Hey guys. I've decided that one amp is enough for me. I'm therefore selling my much loved EA Wizzy combo. It is the perfect centrepiece to a portable, modular rig. I ran this combo with an extra wizzy 1x12. It's incredibly loud when it needs to be (stable down to 2ohms) and just has a sweet spot of clean tone for any bass I have used. This is the website blurb -

At EA we always listen to our customers. So when a customer suggested we put an iAMP 500 head into the Wizzy Combo, we listened. The Wizzy 500 Combo features a 500 watt, Class D power amp and EA’s innovative, musical tone shaping section with the innovative Wizzy cabinet. The 12” driver with an integrated Whizzer cone is mounted in EA’s Transmission Line cabinet. The digital amplifier circuitry effortlessly produces 500 watts of Class D power without the noise or inconvenience of a cooling fan. The Wizzy’s 12” loudspeaker is actually a dual-cone device, designed to have a full bandwidth response that accurately produces every nuance of the player’s sound. The 12” driver and Whizzer cone simultaneously produce both low and high frequency signals from a single voice coil.*

*The design of the loudspeaker and transmission line provide a smoother and more extended low frequency output while faithfully reproducing the brilliance of the digital power amp. The result is a cabinet that has the old school vibe of the classic bass cabinets of the 60’s with the high end accuracy and power needed for today’s live performances and recording studios.

Had a bit of interest in this combo but it is still available. Plenty of people here on TB are gigging with a lightweight head and a 1x12. This is effectively this setup in a combo with the ability to add an 8ohm or 4ohm extension cab when you need it. Wizzy cabs rock too - they can hold their own with any drummer.

someone should grab this .. sadly they don't get much attention in aus as markbass is in every shop you go into I have the 500 head and it is true you can go from pristine to warm and everywhere in between with that eq, and they have loads of power

I have thought about getting rid of mine as I don't gig at the moment and it seems like a waste but I'm glad that it didn't sell when I put it on ebay ..

simply a great amp bump

Thanks for the bump. It's easily the best combo I've used.

I'll accept trades for a good lightweight bass head - Mark Bass, Genz Benz, EA etc.

I'm also going to fork some cash out on a looper pedal shortly so if you have a Boss RC20xl or an Akai Headrush, we can definitely work that in to a deal.
