i know EXACTLY what you mean! i have never been able to get anywhere near my tone with ashdown stuff! i live overdrive too (just a touch, to flavour) i use ampeg 15's but i would really like to get down to bass direct to try the 12's its dear stuff there though!

note:- when i say dear, i mean quality of course!

i have a vintage 4 dude, its awesome - see what you mean about the neck dive, but pretty decent useable sounds for a variety of gigs!

last drop before the ebay starting price

£1500 - thats got to tempt a few offers!

that is £2k less than the new price!

bugger, this is exactly what i was looking for 2 weeks ago! but have since built similar with the money i was gonna spend on it!

have a bump though!

ps - any pics of the back, is it jack or speakon input? where/are there any ports?

i'm currently doing a bit of a search! i live in the same town as where newtone strings are, so trying those now (plus they did me a custom spec set - gigged ith them last night and am impressed so far - even going through trace stuff)

for my money its ghs boomers till now - yes they do die, but much like the elites comment, they're still much more life in them than a wek old set of rotos

never tried d'addarios or DR but they are on my list! also never tried flats, but i'm not convinced i want to go down that road anyway.

the only strings i've tried and took off before i heard them were slinkys 40's! the string wasn't where i thought it would be cause all it was doing was flapping around!!

so strings really are so much about personal choice!

with the engineers of marshall guitar amps setting up their own company - blackstar,, i REALLY can't wait for their first bass rig!

i too am an ampeg man, but if its good enough for lemmy........

So to start off: I'd like an Ovation Magnum 1, which is identical in every way to the original instrument except that it has 5 strings and a suitably wider neck and slightly modified headstock to accommodate the extra string.[/quote]

may have to second that, just mine would be a 5 string gene simmons punisher! not to everyones tastes, but good god i love mine!

[quote name='OldGit' post='896404' date='Jul 16 2010, 11:38 AM']I'm very happy with my gear but, dear Genie, may I have an endless supply of decent sized appreciative audiences, please.[/quote]

damn good point! its coming slowly though!! lol

hi there!

i have an ampeg 410 hlf thats loking battered, and hence can't give it away! i've also been looking to try out a 210 to stick on top of my ampeg 115e to see what it sounds like!

this lead me to think, bugger it, i'll build a couple, rob the speakers from the hlf, and i can always stick em back in if needed!

anyways i was trying to decide how exactly to build it? almost went out and spent over £200 on the micro 210 svt thingy, looked into it cause i know it doesn't have a horn and i don't like the clickyness that a horn produces (personal preferance). so anyhoo, found out it was a sealed cab like the 810 (which i've always liked but just don't sound as ballsy as my single 15) and set out to make 2 2x10s, as i have 4 spare drivers, and add a port to the second one if required/ needs to be tested.

£25 on wood (18mm birch marine ply) £30 on feet and connectors etc and a few hours learning housing joints with a router, and presto, bobs your uncle, fannys your aunt - 2 2x10 boxs! only had enough lining for one though. took about 6 hours all together (not including waiting overnight for glue to dry).

tested it out in our little practice room sunday, and gigged it wednesday with one 2x10 and my 115 and something magical happened! i heard myself REALLY well all over the stage AND didn't get told to turn it down! result!

now i just need to gig both 2x10s (once i get the lining for the second one) and see how it sounds, then as i know i like the 210 115 combination, i can start looking into possibly porting the second cab! (don't tell the mrs but i'ce always fancied trying a 112 too!!)

ooh - and i know its not to do with where my cabs are height wise cause i've gigged the 115 at ear level and not heard myself this well!

all in all, for someone who knows NOTHING about cab design and is pretty skint, to having a lovely rig for £20 a cab, i really am chuffed to bits! its not my ideal tone, that would be 2 of the 115s, but i can hear myself live now!

£425 collected with 4 u case now! pics if needed, we all know how good they sound!

bump to top

[quote name='Doddy' post='896151' date='Jul 16 2010, 12:57 AM']Yes they were. David Nordschow designed the Goliath Cabs for SWR and later started 'Eden' with the intention of
bettering what he did for them.[/quote]


much the same situation wih marshall and blackstar amps - marshall was taken over by jim marshalls mrs, quality dropped, so off the engineers pop to set up blackstar!

make your guitarist try one! lol

for our band to get recognised, then the rest would look after itself

oh no! the gas has hold of me!

possible part trades - 5 string bongo or 5 string sterling - preferably hh or hs

lets see if we have any closet warwick fans! lol

try your luck with an offer!

i used to own this bass, and after having a play on one, its a bit like a thunderbird when stood up!

just with lots more tone control and more unique look!

someone will be very happy with this!

[url="http://www.myspace.com/ng26"]http://www.myspace.com/ng26[/url] the track mine tonight is this in the studio (rough mix for the new album)

£1600 tempt anyone?

come on, this is gutting me!

the evilbay is getting closer!

i have the 410 hlf and also the single 15 by ampeg, i have tried the 410 115 combination but found the 410 drowns out the 115

my way around this is this wwkend i've made 2 8 ohm 2x10 sealed cabs out of the hlf plus about £50 for wood, connectors, feet etc, found i can still hear the 115 tone, but the 2x10 on top really rounds the sound out.

now i have a gorgeous rig for out and about and a little practice rig in the front room!

but i didnt get on with the hlf sound either

bumperoonie!

awesome bass matey, but same as most, money issues!

unless you're into warwicks and have cash! lol

pulled that off the warwick website, but to be honest the month letter (E) could well be wrong, thats best guess as thats quite lightly scribed!

another bump! you're welcome to come try!

sorry, another bump!

pm'd

just wanted to add that this is an awesome little unit, the single most noticable leap in tone i've ever had!

good luck with the sale!

would be very interested if i had the money! but alas, no

just checking cause i played through one the other day at a notoriously bad sounding staged venue, and i heard myself crystal clear!

thanks for the info!

hey there, just a quick question! i know most of the ashdown mag line is ported, but i dont know about the 810!

anyone got one and could they just check for a port on it please, i seem to think they are sealed but can't find any info on it!

interested in the same info for the abm please!

cheers all!
