OT: New amps day!!!

[TSanders]

Well today was the first day with both amps, and I spent a good bit of time A/B ing.

Ive owned one of each of these before, but wanted to try them with the Berg HT322 that I got a short time ago.

The Eden sounds great, and really works well with my StingRay 5.

The iAmp kinda has me flipping again, and it brings out the best in my StingRay 5, but also sounds incredible with my StingRay 4 with piezos.

Only one of the two will stay. Im going to continue to try them both for the next couple weeks before I decide.

Advantage after day 1: Slightly in favor of the iAmp.

 

[Figjam]

Both nice amps. I think the iAmp is more my speed as well.

 

[Dr Stankface]

Don't you get rid of either one until I get my keester out there.

 

[armybass]

Is that my old Eden?

 

[MingusBASS]

After you off both of these, you should try out an Ashdown ABM.

I've been playing that rig with my blues/rock trio and it sounds NICE son.

I recently picked up an iAmp 500 and I absolutely love it.

I've got a Wizzy cab on the way to go with it so I'll be running an all EA rig.

Hey Travis.

My 322 is supposed to be here today and I will play it at the gig this Saturday.

I can't wait to hear this one!

You're gonna dig that Wizzy, Jason. Love mine...especially during load-in.

Prepare to be blown away Larry!

Well, I got the Bergie 322. UPS managed to put a big indention in the edge of the cab that also bent the grille. When the guy delivered it, he rolled it out of the back of the truck and rolled it across the pavement into the building. You should have heard me yell at him. What an idiot!

I'll hook it up this afternoon and make sure the drivers aren't damaged.

 

[Mobay45]

The cab sounds great. Here's a pic of the cab.

Here's a pic of the damage that UPS threw in for no charge.

 

[MingusBASS]

Bastards.

 

[Mobay45]

Oh hell. I'll live.

It'll be dark where I'm playing it anyway.

 

[MingusBASS]

I'm interested to hear your thoughts after you have some more time with it. They sound great playing solo, but the real magic happens at the gig with these babies.

I am definitely stoked about playing it Saturday night. I can't wait to hear what it sounds like with the band. BTW - The GB GBE1200 seems to have plenty of juice for this cab.

 

[MingusBASS]

I haven't had the pleasure of playing a ray through my Bergs(although that soon may change), but I know for a fact that my bongos have never sounded better than through my Bergs.

Nothing like those UPS making something instantly used even before you have a chance to try the thing.

Looks sweet. What kind of preamp/amp you running through the Bergie?

Cant wait to hear your thoughts after you gig the HT322 Larry.

Well since the iAmp took the lead on Wednesday, the Eden has come out on top as my preference each day.

My oh my. What to do.

 

[Moondog]

Welcome to the EBMM/Berg club Larry!
I'm sure you'll be extremely pleased with the cab.

I have (2) preamps for my IP310 now and I'm blown
away. Each turns the cab into a completely different
sounding KILLER rig. I have the Demeter HBP & Ampeg
SVP-CL and both have me shedding tears of joy
