Maybe someone should write a song with “Tailors gonna sew” but sing it “Taylor’s gonna sue” just to get her foaming at the mouth.

It’s a strange topic this one, as it’s concerning two musicians and about a musical instrument but it really seems to sit better in Off Topic. Reminds me of the sketch in Harry Enfield “ I love cows mate, they’re just like horses but in cow-form”.

I think the main thing is that hundreds of thousands of years can’t be undone by a dictionary

Further to my posts in November last year I bought another ABM600. Once Ashdown introduced their ABM PRO NEO cabs it was inevitable. I still mostly use the RM500 for rehearsals, but the ABM will get gigging duties.

The human race evolved with the males being in general, bigger, stronger, and more violent, hence they became the providers. Females evolved to have a higher tolerance to pain which is very beneficial for childbirth, and to be more nurturing. Neither makes the other inferior, it’s the evolution of the animal over hundreds of thousands of years. Because that is what the human being is, an animal.

I’ve found that whenever there’s been problem band members it’s been either the lead singer, the lead guitarist, or the lead singer/guitarist. In a band where I was the lead singer/guitarist there were no problems. Or at least none that the rest of the band, which split up, ever told me about…… As it could have been me, as I’d defected to the idiot side.

Clean tone that will bark, scream & shout, well I think GK fits that bill, as does @la bams 550 Fusion above

I’d never heard of them til this thread but just checked them out on YouTube, think the CD is gonna be added to my Xmas list.

I used my ABM600 last night at rehearsal through a Marshall DBS215, what a sound!

Same, a few months back I chucked one, bah!

I think this is the best approach. I’m a pick player so irrespective of how the original line was played I do it with a pick. I can get a good variety of sounds just with technique, though in my bands I’m always “me”.

Sadly I’m yet to use mine with either of my bands as the rehearsal rooms I use have full set ups. At home volumes they sound exactly the same as my old ABM410 EVO-IV cab did with the ABM600 tho. That said I had Ashdown seal the port in that cab for me, made the sound tighter and punchier, so I’d say the regular ported ABM cabs will more than likely have a looser low end.

Would def be hex nut at the heel. Looks like some other tuners have been put on there at some point, the stock tuner holes are the two larger ones to the right of each big hole where the tuning peg itself goes through.

That version of Cars was excellent, we decided to do it in my classic rock band based on that version. Incredibly simple song to play, yet really good fun, especially if you have a keyboard player who nails the sound.

In my last band, which was a 3 piece, people were always saying how tight we were. I took that as a great compliment, even when people said “your drummers so tight” cos if I’d been rotten on timing those comments wouldn’t have come. People might not recognise the bass on its own but if it’s not doing the job people will notice - and luckily think it’s the guitarist who’s pony.

Over the years I’ve gone from 50-110 to 45-105 to 45-100, which are def my faves to play. Who knows what another 5 or 10 years might bring though.

I’m not, but only due to the acceptance that my back won’t permit it anymore. My rig in my last band was Ashdown ABM600 with ABM 410 & 210 cabs but it got too much, so now have two ABM PRO NEO 210s instead. I’m there in spirit!

And don’t forget to point whilst doing so, it really helps…..

Side by side cones, science breach, you are to be exterminated!

It`s funny Chris, the drummer in the classic rock band I`m in is probably the tightest drummer I`ve ever been in a band with, his timing is impeccable, but he`s just soooooo loud. So on one part he excels, whereas the other it`s major failure.

Yep, guitar brought to you this evening from Icepick City.

Only played the RWs a couple of times but was very impressed, congrats on a great pair of basses

I like 610s. The height makes hearing yourself a lot easier, and irrespective of the science I just happen to like the sound of a load of 10s all stacked together. My Ashdown ABM 410 & 210 together was a good compromise for someone living in a first floor flat, as the weight of a 610 was too much to get up/down the stairs. Whilst these cabs might be unfashionable I prefer the sound, much the same as a full Marshall stack to me sounds better than a 1x12 combo at the same volume.

ACS earplugs I think are the answer. My classic rock band is incredibly loud due to matching the drummers volume, yet thanks to my ACS plugs the band volume is like a loud stereo, and I can hear each instrument individually. Before the ACS plugs I had a couple of different makes and they took the edge off, nothing more. Probably the wisest £120 I’ve ever spent on musical gear.
