Looks like a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 into a MASoundworks Bodai-28 cabinet. Not sure what the other box is, maybe another amp for bi-amping?
You nailed it. The other amp is a RAD 1000. I use it with a Sonic Farms 2di4. I was getting some clipping on that rig during the first set, so I swapped to my backup amp (the GB).

This mini rig brings the doom all right... View attachment 3154234

Looks like some serious mini doom, quite a bit higher end than mine! I do use the same folding step stool though. Not sure if that means your choice for getting your cab off the floor is relatively low end for you or my choice is relatively high end for me .... :D


Regardless, that's a nice rig from start to finish - bass, amp, cab. :bassist:

My new mini bass rig: Eden WTDI preamp-->Jay Ganz Straight Ahead mini-power amp (500W into 4 Ohms)-->Eden EX110 (wizzy 10', 4 ohms).

Gets surprisingly loud for a 1x10. The Eden preamp makes this rig sound just like my Eden WT550, 25lbs for the cab...got the preamp on sale as an open box for 117 and 200 for the cab shipped new. Under $600 for the whole rig. For upright right I will use my Headway EDB2 preamp.

I've been looking at one of those Ex110s for the living room practice. For the price they seem like a great deal!

Those Radial Pro series DIs are quite good sounding; I have the stereo version, the ProD2.
A few folks complimented my soundcat the last gig so it must be doing well!
I always feel like an ******* to sound guys when they try to run the DI out of the back of my Rumble. “Don’t use that garbage! I’ve got a real DI!”

Nice setup! I own a pair of EX110's with a GK MB200 and MB500 and the mini double stack is a beast. I like to tell the story that last year after I bought the setup I was playing in a two story nightclub/restaurant. The upstairs was the restaurant, downstairs the nightclub.

There was a guitarist that was playing later that night getting ready to eat upstairs when he "felt" bass through the floor and went downstairs. There I was with my three foot tall double stack! He was amazed. He said he came downstairs to see what bass amp I was using. He couldn't believe the power and bottom end that little stack put out.

The setup is very easy to move too. I'm amazed that Eden isn't more popular on TB, but that doesn't seem to matter. They're still in business and cranking out excellent equipment.

I agree that Eden seems a bit under rated here. My go to amp for electric over the years has been my WT550. Its voicing is very musical to me (Thunderfunk is in the same class though) and the EQ possibilities seem endless with the parametric, but its heavy weight-wise. I also just bought an EX110 and the WTDI pre. The Eden WTDI makes any amp sound like an Eden, including a WT550, and I'm thinking of running with just the WTDI and a lite weight amp.

Or, when the ***hat sound droid insists on using his :poop: Behringer or other Di that's been all duct taped up to keep it in one piece over something better we may have.
