Members Benjamin Posted March 29, 2007 Members Posted March 29, 2007 After trying an Eden Nemesis head, I am satisfied mostly that I will stay with my Trace. It has the bite I will need and I just need to tweak it a bit more to get the sound. It won't be 100% but it is closer. The question I do have though is: How interchangeable are the preamps? I recall my old AH250 in which the preamp section could be detached separately and because of the rackmount style mounting, another model could be interchanged. Not 100% sure if the AH300 I have is similarly mounted, pulling her apart will tell but at this stage maybe not. The reason I ask is I have seen some of the higher level preamps on Ebay and other locations around Australia. The upper level models allow you to blend between Shaped and Flat, which is where I want to be on my current amp. Unfortunately the AH300 shaping is either on or off and that is a source of annoyance. A definite possibility is to find a higher end Trace preamp and mate that to a power amp of some sort in a rack. Another option is to go for something like an Ashown Mark King or one of these: http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=legacy&ID=114 Mark Kinghttp://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=mk&ID=113 Thoughts?
Members ToeJamFootball Posted March 29, 2007 Members Posted March 29, 2007 I played through a Mark King Sig amp, it was super clean, best slap tone I have ever had, and I can't slap!!
Members Benjamin Posted March 29, 2007 Author Members Posted March 29, 2007 Did you get much of an idea of the harmonic enhance knob? Mark King's tone is super toppy. I don't want to go to his extreme but a nice glassy top is what I like. The Eden just didn't have the sharpness nor growl.

It was like 3 years ago I just remember thinking, if I wanted super clean tone this is the sort of amp I would get.Then again, it probably could have done more than that sound, I didn't mess with it too long.
