    Imagine how I felt when the bass I ordered on 18/09/2024 finally arrived on 13/08/2025... frankly I'm amazed I got it, considering this was an oldco Bax order being fulfilled by newco Bax post bankruptcy.

    I still measure myself in feet and inches and stones, pounds and ounces. If it ain't broke. . . . I drive miles in the car and fill it in £'s, not those silly litres things.

    I used the sub generator very sparingly when doing In The City by The Jam, given much of the song is high frets having it just about on adds in some low end presence. Other than that I’ve never really been able to put it to regular use.

    Thanks gents. I'd be very interested to know what PSUs other CQ desk owners are using? As noted above: I've got two separate AC adaptors, one that came with the unit by Fidus (made in China) for home use, and a separate one for gigs by Dongguan Lewe (also China). Both are 12V 5A 60W PSUs - but getting those spikes both at home and at gigs, which I guess suggests it's an internal desk issue? A&H recommend their spare part: AH-AM12199 PSU, but this seems to be tricky to get hold of?

    I've just bought an Eden head from Nik - an ex-combo Solo CXC-300 - and the transaction couldn't have been smoother or more friendly. As there was no real posting option and we're about three hours' drive apart, Nik left the head for me to pick up from BassBros, which made the whole deal a lot easier. The head's in great condition, exactly as described and photographed, and I can heartily recommend Nik as a great BCer to do business with. Cheers, Nik!

    I think I've had a PX3 in my gear draw for 20+ years and it's not been used more than 5-6 times!

    Just saw your message. I've put the bass down to £1300 to match the ebay price.

    In truth, Ashdown are very hit and miss. I never liked the ABM range at all due to the mix of sliders and knobs. Ironically, I found the MAG series amps more intuitive. The Rootmaster heads are brilliant. The cabs are awful. Just terrible. The treble end voicing is just so off and the low end is hyped to my ears. In 2005 when I was shopping about for cabs as my band was going on tour, I thought about getting an Ashdown ABM 4x10 until I discovered it was 37kg. Er... no. It didn't sound very good either. Fast forward to last year and they're trying to sell the same cab, same weight (20 years later!!!!) For £1400. Read that again. Mental isn't it? They're not lightweight, nor have they changed much in almost 30 years. It's not a Barefaced, Bergantino or anything that's boutique. You'll be giving it away in a year as nobody will buy it for more than 200 quid. The Geezer cabs are more than 2 grand each. For some purple tolex and stencil grill?!! Really?!! Who is going to buy them? As for the pedals. If you exclude the LoMenzo Hyperdrive, (which is absolutely amazing), a lot of the rest are awful. The MegaDrive is so bad nobody is going to get to review it again after that abomination that was the PMT demo. I joked a while back that it was a review that sounded so bad it bankrupted the company. I have no axe to grind here, but in many ways I don't get the fandom. Has anyone in recorded history ever used the sub harmonic generator? The pre shape being on by default except when the button is depressed is an automatic fail to me. Before anyone asks, I use a GK Fusion 1200s and Vanderkley 2x12s. I own and have used a Lomenzo Hyperdrive a lot. I'm probably biased in that I want clarity, precision and what goes in, comes out. Ashdown for the most part, don't do that due to their cabs being so coloured.

    The last Ashdown head that was designed with this sort of sound in mind was the 12-band head from a few years back, which, in turn, was based on the Ashdown Labs head they made for Mark King. Most other Ashdown heads can do it, but it’s not their “default” tone. Preshape on, treble up a bit. Use a cab with a tweeter.

    I have just noticed that it happens even if there is no instrument plugged into the amp and if the mute button is on or off.

    Don't get me started Bill! As a school teacher I was required to educate pupils from Y1 to 6th form to be able to use feet, inches, miles, oz, lbs, pints, gallons (but not quarts) etc AND mm, cm, km, ml, L et al... still teaching this even though we went decimal 55 years ago! Honestly it used to do my head in!

    Four pedals up for grabs after the purchase of a Darkglass Anagram. Will take individual images later and edit to suit. Will be sad to see them all go but enjoying and unable to return my Anagram and determined to make it work... All pedals conveniently pre-velcro'd 😉 All prices plus £5 shipping or happy to drop off locally Tonehammer DI Mk1 - £160 Fantastic preamp/DI that can do tubey amp sim style stuff or clean and uncoloured. Good Condition - no box or PSU and screw for battery compartment missing but neatly taped up. Line6 HX ONE - £160 Excellent swiss army knife pedal with sounds taken directly from the Helix (has a fantastic noble model). Incredibly well thought out control set with really handy flux FS. Like new condition with box and PSU etc Jam Bass Rattler MK2 - £160 Rat clone for bass with excellent clean blend and second gain boost F/S. My favourite analogue drive pedal, covers everything from low gain dirt and saturation to fuzzy madness Like new condition with box and box candy Source Audio Ultrawave Bass - £130 Fantastic digital utility and sdistortion swiss army knife - billed by SA as a mad distortion machine but it's so much more! Fantastic studio level compressor, Graphic and parametric EQ, dual channels, every flavour of drive/distortion available as well as radge tremelo stuff which I never used. My favourite digital standalone pedal, I used it for a lovely tube drive aswell as a radge gated fuzz and slight low mid boost all on seperate presets accessible via toggle switch or opens up massively with a £30 M-Vave chocolate+ controller. Like new condition with box and PSU etc Pedaltrain Nano Max - £50 Single row pedaltrain which can handle 7-8 pedals. Lightweight and excellent quality.

    That is 100% a power issue. If you are lucky it is in the external supply, if you aren't, it is the internal bit.

    Well, first attempt, what do ya think guys... Was a bit scary drilling into the head....

    Visit a Halfords that has a cycle dept (or any bike shop tbh), they are happy to give away bike boxes which are nice and thick.

    So when I watch British TV programs (which is almost every day) why do they keep referring to feet, pounds and miles per hour? 🤔 It reminds me of the story of the man who was confused while visiting Quebec. The faucets in his bathroom were both marked C. When he asked the front desk why they both said 'C' the clerk replied 'the one C stands for Cold. The other stands for Chaud. We are bi-lingual.'

    So a potential redundancy on the way and I just bought this and another members Ray on here in the last few months. Unfortunately may take a big loss on this in the space of a few months but needs must. This is basically brand new although somehow I have managed to put a minor scratch on the body and the black pick guard has some signs of being played (as seems to be the way with these StingRay black pick guards). I bought it in October 2025 so still has warranty on it until 11th October 2026. Weights about 4kg according to my bathroom scales. We all know about these basses so won't write too much about it, sounds and looks amazing. It's either this or the Grape Crush Ray that has to be listed and I don't think I can sell the grape crush one I have. Sentimental value. I prefer to meet to hand this over but can send at buyers cost. Comes with the Mono case which I absolutely love. Less clunky and still has loads of protection.
