Here (http://www.eden-electronics.com/products/amps/indiv/wt800.asp) is the Eden WT-800 site. The model now listed on the site is the new B model, which mine is not.
Here (http://www.eden-electronics.com/info/manuals/pdf/WT800-600-500manual2003.pdf) is the owner's manual for the amp I'm selling.

This was my primary amp before I started using a preamp and power amp setup. It's quite versatile. A number of people here in our group use Eden amps.
You can buy this particular model new and currently on sale at Musicians Friend (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/search/detail/base_pid/485243?src=HC004).
Here (http://www.harmony-central.com/Bass/Data/Eden/WT_800_World_Tour_Head-1.html) are the Harmony Central reviews.
Reading through the reviews at Harmony Central and Musicians Friend, I noticed that they are all very positive except for a few reports about overheating. So I thought about it, and I do remember that early on I had a problem at one gig where it would overheat and cut out for a few seconds and then come back on. That gig was in a large room, and I think I was using four cabs. It must have been after that when I started attaching a small fan to the back of the rack. I don't remember ever having a problem after that, including many outdoor gigs in the summer.
I have not been following Ebay listings for WT-800's; and a quick glance at recent auctions shows a bit of a wide range. But considering those listings together with those for WT-550's and considering the list price, I've got an idea of a reasonable price range.
I'm not in a hurry. I am trying to cut down on the amount of music equipment in my house.
I also realize that this is not the best time of year to be selling stuff .
A note about email. When emailing me, because of my poor memory, in some cases it can be helpful to include your Username so that I can remember who I'm talking to!
