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 thr 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!

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.

Bill Fitzmaurice replied to Musicman20's topic in Amps and Cabs
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.
-
Yeah I understand that it’s a synth, I just meant I use a physical keyboard (including a Subsequent 37 amongst others), which from a playing precision side of things is still a lot less compromised compared to a bass and pedal, including this MXR pedal, and I assume the FI4 too.
-
I’m glad you bought it! I nearly did a few times!!

Someone mentioned the other day that Andertons sell boxes or Amazon?

Bought a couple of StingRays recently and also got some potential redundancy on the cards so time to part ways with this. This is not the tribute version but the full fat US Series E version. You can get a P bass sound out of it as well as a beefed up StingRay sound, this bass is properly powerful. It has the parallel/series switch, passive active and also active with treble boost switch. Swiss Army knife as they say. This has only ever been played at home and not even left the house. Serviced every year by Bristol Guitar Tech, last completed on 21st November with new strings. It plays amazingly well with the smoothest neck ever and is in perfect condition. Comes with the G&L hard case. Happy to ship but much prefer to meet to handover as I wouldn't want it to get damaged. I will be putting up one of the StingRays as well so this may get taken down if the Ray goes first. Weighs about 4.2kg according to my bathroom scales.

I fitted a slightly larger port on mine. Cab size was slightly increased to compensate for the larger port and multitude of bracing. I tuned the port to frequency using the rattly rice on the cone technique. The bass output of this cab is quite surprising! Especially with corner placement as Phil says. I've got the bits to knock a second up. I think it'd make a very transportable/practical/ cute/funny/great sounding rig for "sensible" practices and gigs. Maybe four? I have a 2 ohm stable amp 😁

I've been working on my debut album since the days of Covid. With a serious house move in our future I got my finger out and recorded it in September-November last year. In the chaos of moving house the tracks have started arriving from the studio... This one tells the story of my dad, as a student working at the local steel works in the holidays in the vacations as I'd just arrived on the scene! The bass is my Squier jazz fretless with XL chrome flats. Running through a modelling gadget set to "Mesa Boogie".
