Greetings!
Long time lurker of Talk Bass. Just decided to register. Biggup! 6 string reggae bass player here. from Jamaica.
Just went to Atomic Music in Beltsville Maryland. Low and behold I found an Eden CXC 300 series 212 hybrid. Snatched it because the price was $325. With tax US $343.00.
She works but needs some love and attention.
1) Pops in the lower 12" when you turn the volume up high. I may take her to PROTECH (the local tech folks that I visit whenever I'm in need in the States) or maybe just buy a replacement 12 and gently replace it myself.
2) Dirty, seems like it has been in a basement or garage corner for years. The cones have stains and a little mildew here and there. As if juice or beer was spilled on it. Using a tooth brush and doing some cleaning now. Gonna vacuum and disinfect the cabinet fur.
3) Going to see about lubricating or changing the fan. It's a bit noisey.
4) The screws have rust. So I am figuring this somehow was in the rain or mist. Or maybe a damp basement. Going to buy some new screws and some lubricant.
All the knobs works. The jacks all work fine. Something is rattling inside so I will open her up fully. So far I have only taken off the grate.
This gem says 1999 on it. In the past I have seen the eden 210xlt combo version in a few places, which is short, square and heavy. This one is rectangular, vertically with two port holes on the left and right middle. Has two wheels on the back. Somewhat heavy, I gather around 60 pounds. I will weigh it to make sure. I can pick it up easily enough when I moved it into and out of the vehicle.
Jah know, I love the low B string. I didn't need this new amp but I bonded with her in the store. I said, "I'm taking you to a loving home."
So whoever once owned this piece rest assured she will be treated well. Gonna fix her up like brand new.
Respect,
Canefire
