I prefer the Euphonic Audio Doubler with the Wizzy 12 M-Line. For coffee shops, I bring the Doubler with a Wizzy 10 just in case it's needed (but this is with DB).

Even though the EA Doubler is designed to be for folks who play EB and DB, the EA Doubler with Wizzy does very well with my 5-string EB on Funk and Latin Jazz.

Why? What is your current Eden set-up (i.e. which amp and which cabinet)?

I normally play a Eden WT800C with a Bergantino 410. My secondary setup is a Eden WP100 hooked up to a Carvin 1000 watt power amp, played through an Epifani UL410

Remember - the WT550 and 800 are also power-amps. All three share the same Parametric EQ feature, Tone Controls and a few other options. However, with the added features the Nav provides coupled with a quality power-amp and right cabinet or cabinet combination (lets call this set-up The Beast), I give the advantage to The Beast and I've used both the WT-550 and 800 heads. Both are great heads (no question).

I have the navigator and a wt800c. In my opinion, the navigator sounds better and has more features. You just need a power amp, whereas the Wt800 is more convenient. Both sound good, but the navigator sounds better.

Since I first posted on here my rig has changed a little. I'm still using the black tiger elite as main bass, but my main amp is the SWR SM900 and I'm using some Bag End cabs- two D10BX-D cabs and a powered S18E-D with the low frequency integrator. An amazing set up for me, and I can split the rig for different sized shows. I get a clear, uncoloured sound with a stage shaking rumble when I use the full rig! :p

That sounds awesome. I can imagine the growl and snap it brings.

Hey Des, it sounds killer! If you get chance, try the Bag End cabs, you'll love them! Very complimentary to the Smith I feel.

Cheers for now bud!

Here's my rig:

-Alembic F-1x tube preamp
-dbx 160x
-Stewart 1.2 power amp (1200 watts at 4 ohms)
-Bergantino HT-322 (1x12", 2x10", and compression horn)

Loud, punchy, lots of detail and sparkle. Great match for the '95 CR-5 (zebra over mahogany). Slap machine!

It sucks they don't make the HT322 anymore.

Agreed. Chad Beeler (co-founder of Bass Northwest) is an old friend, and when I posted this pic on my FB page, he had this to say: "Best full range cabinet ever built. Yes, ever." And really, not bad to move, either.

This is the 'heavy weight' rig. A TC Electronic Blacksmith that powers two 2x10 BAG END cabinets. The 18" BAG END sub is self powered with a 1000 watt amp, combined with the 'Infra Sub' processor in a rack that pushes the sub down to 18 hertz! It's not often this full rig goes out as I've normally got more than enough power with the Blacksmith and 2x10 cabs. Those BAG END's are incredible and really do represent the Smith basses superbly...no colouring of sound (IMO).
It's quite something when I've got the 18" sub hooked up and hit the low B on the Black Tiger!!
