Double Bass Walter Woods Amp Question: Which One?

[LarryR]

One of those greenies you got from me. I used the greenie with my Bergs and altough is was adequate( actually on the edge of inadequate IMO), the difference in tonal clarity and punch is substantial with the higher power models. Just my $.02

+1 to your .02.

When I first plugged into my Amber/Berg12 I was blown away.
Magical sound. The head room is killer. Unfortch, I'm already thinking of selling it. If only I played out more. As is my gigs are 90% slab.

I use a green light Walter Woods Electracoustic with an EA Wizzy M-Line cab, and that combination does everything I need it to including covering occasional bass guitar gigs with an R&B band. The Wizzy's good sensitivity and 4 ohm impedance really help make this work so well. So the answer really is it depends on the cab(s) you are using.

I have an old MI-225 stereo WW and eventhough I have a AI Focus 2r III as well, I find myself craving thw WW lately. W/ one Wizzy M-line 12 the WW has a certain Mojo that the Focus is lacking. The Focus is great as well and more convenient as Unky Toad says. I can use two Wizzy M's w/it since the Focus can run on 2 ohms and has much more power. This must be the lightest "stupid loud" rig ever, but to get my sound I find I have to tweak and twist knobs more than w/ the WW.

This past couple of weeks I've been using the WW and one WizzyM outside on some loud doubling gigs. I was floored by how much fat, clear bottom I was getting out of this little rig Rockin' out outside on BG. DB tone is fab too, but w/ my older Realist I do have to crank the master and pre amp gain knobs to cut thru w/ very loud bands. But after all t's a lower power WW from the early 80's. No gain issues w/BG

BG.
