Am I doing it right?
My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you(Strictly speaking it’s only 250W into the internal speaker, but it’s still ridiculously loud for its size and weight.)
It’s so impressive, the guitarist asked if they do a guitar version - it’s about the same weight as his 30W valve head.

No...
Ibanez Promethean 5110.
I don’t know for sure if they’re any good either, I’ve never seen another one.

Maybe you should try a good old Trace combo. You can use both arms to carry it..? Oh.
Well, you could get a trolley and wheel it around. Though if things start slowly gravitating towards Scotland we will know why...
I suspect they may have not sold well simply due to the fact that Ibanez is not a recognised name in bass amplification - and worse, not an unknown newcomer either - and you know what people are like... even we less-conservative bass players .
Apparently it’s designed by the same person who did the Red Sub.
One thing is for sure, if it dies for any reason and isn’t repairable I’ll be looking for something else with the same sort of feature set. My original intention was to get a MarkBass head and a Barefaced cab, but this was a lot cheaper...

The last person I saw live playing one was Dave Pegg, and he had a tone to die for.
They used not to be that hard to find second hand, although I haven’t looked for a few years.
They must have sold quite a few then.
The fact that I’ve never seen a dead one does give me at least some confidence.
As far as I remember they were the first to pack that much power into that small a box, but there are actually quite a lot of alternatives now if anything does happen to it.

Funnily enough I hate top-mounted controls, but I’ve actually been willing to compromise on that for such a portable package...

The Genzler MG-350 Array 10-2 (expensive, but same weight and size and removable head) is the closest (but not price wise!) and oddly Harley Benton (Thomann) did the same exact amp as the 5110 in a slightly different cab.
Course, the Markbass CMD 121P is the market leader in this sort of thing - and they have sold so many of them that it probably explains why Ibanez gave up..
