As usual, I played a fretless Warwick thumb. Normally I put that through a Warwick 300W solid state amp into a 15” cab, and it sounds good, if a little modern/hi-fi.
First I put the Behringer in front of the amp, and with one of the sample settings on it, it straight away gave a lovely warmth that complemented the set up perfectly. A very nice sound indeed!
Next I replaced the Warwick head with the Ampeg. 300W of solid state against 20W of tube - the Ampeg shouldn’t have had a chance. But the volume was fine to act as a monitor, competing with a moderately enthusiastic drummer. No, it probably wouldn’t fill the room without PA, but it was far louder than I expected. In fact I had the volume just under half way, exactly where I normally have the Warwick’s volume control.
So the volume was a surprise, and so was the sound. Good, warm but not as warm as the Behringer, and with a bit more grit. Not distortion exactly (which I have no use for in my bass sound), but just a bit of edge. Both fit my taste more than my usual set-up, albeit in slightly different ways.
Thanks to @Bridgehouse for the encouragement which led me to acquiring two very nice and useful bits of kit.
