Way to many variables for me to assume here. For sure the price is too high for what you are getting. You should be able to get one of those on the used market for half that. I'd hold out for something better if I were you.
Your right I was just checking on it online and found the same info... and I will take your advice... I'll just wait until I go back to the States to pick up the bass and just purchase the Eden and come back home with 2 new toys!!

Tim, really thank you for your guidance!!!

No problem. Let me know when you're in the US. If you have any questions while you're here, feel free to ask away and I'll do my best to help.

Thumbs up Finally got something coming...

Hi Tim,
So after a few days searching online I have landed a New Eden WTX 264 amp and EX410 Neo cab @ 8 ohms. Price was just right with free shipping. The cab is a manufactured refurbished and I got the 2 year warranty. Hopefully I have no issues with the cab. This will be my practice amp and small gig/ church events.

Let me know what u think...

Thanks bud!

By the way I was looking at you KS bass collection and it's very impressive!

Well, as a "practice amp and small gig/church events" set-up, you should be good. Because the WTX-264 can handle a 4 ohm load, you would be able to add one more 8 ohm cabinet to get the added coverage and full 300W (at 4 ohms) from the amp. The other nice feature: You have a great DI out of that amp to FOH (if needed).

When I play at Church and because we utilize Aviom's with in-ear monitors, all I need is a DI out of my Eden WTDI to FOH and I have all I need. Makes for a really easy set-up, without any additional work needed (i.e. like hauling a cabinet with me), and the bass in the mix is perfect. You can do the same with your WTX-264.

Thumbs up

Thanks Tim for all the help and assistance and guiding me in the right path on getting the correct amp / cab set up! Bass is done and should be able to play it after the holidays once I go back home for a few days. Work just has me really busy traveling all over Central and South America. On positive thing about the job is that am able to afforded these new toys.

Cool. I'm excited for you. I feel like I'm expecting, lol. Let us know how everything works out once you have all the pieces in place. Enjoy!
