They look interesting and well featured. Keen to see the rest of the line without so many features.

New Amps from Warwick - MC300/500

Looks like the 'simple' power amp is only 100 euro less. That's a little disappointing. Will wait and see US pricing I guess.

Bass Amp Heads
The tuner interface is pretty slick.
Also: sideburns.

Bass Amp Heads
The connecting straight to a PC/Mac without an audio interface is pretty cool, I'll grant them that.
The latency is not a factor when you are simply playing along with an auxiliary input source. You will be totally in sync with the Bluetooth-delayed signal since that is what you are actually playing along with, not the pre-Bluetooth original.
Oh I thought they meant the BT would transmit the bass as well.
I'm having a Bose 9xx series processor/amp flashback.
Also noticed the DS line... basically dual-channel heads.

I don't understand the prices, even the power amps (300W and 500W) are both more expensive than the Gnome Pro 600, which you can use as a power amp using the FX loop. Why would anyone buy the PA models then?
I don't need another amp, but seeing a composite semi-vertical 410 in works is nice.
that should be a pretty convenient form factor and I hope, it will be light. and probably other cabs are upcoming as well.
not that I'm not satisfied by my crazy light composite MarkBass cabs, but having more choice is great.

The Gnomes also allow you to directly plug into a PC/Mac and record too, apparently. So yeah the selling points on these are not as obvious as I first thought.
Not really fond of these so far the specs are really bland and they are overpriced imho
I really like the idea of a small amp designed for use with an external preamp but capable of being an all-in-one head solution in a pinch. Seymour Duncan was trending in this direction with the Powerstage but then got distracted and gave us bass players a traditional head under the Powerstage name.
Me too, but:
- Any bass amp with a FX loop can be used that way
- Why are the "PA" amps more expensive than the (smaller) Gnomes?
True, but unfortunately, most of the small class D amps do not have this feature. Alternatively, it would be great to build in an EQ bypass feature on the front end.
