  1. Quite varied, mainly electric guitar based, either punk or rock, but also have stuff like Motown, ABBA, James Blunt, Wham. In my youth I was more genre loyal, now I’m more loyal to my ears, if they like they like, irrespective (though won’t have anything to do with extreme politics, either left or right).
  2. I had a few Eden 410 cabs, Nemesis and XLT are the ones that I recall the model numbers. Both were great, and the Nemesis was only about 50lbs or so.
  3. If looking for a backup bass to a Precision check out the Vintage V4, seriously good instruments.
  4. I hate it when you hear of stars/famous people behaving like this. A mate of mine does film extra work and says the difference in some of the “names” is astounding, with some being happy to queue up for the same meal as the extras get then sit with them to eat it, compared with others who they’re not allowed to speak to or even make eye contact with.
  5. Wham, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, pretty much all of the early 80s bands. Being a schoolboy punk at the time this music was a personal affront to me, how closed-minded I was!
  6. Def the TTD album, bought it recently and it’s really good.
  7. But they probably are....,
  8. Well........ For some reason Trace amps do seem to be louder than other brands with comparable power ratings. Who knows how or why.
  9. Yes the same cabs, just looks like they’ve done a vintagey looking one as well. I prefer metal grills if possible, just down to the practicality, I do think the fabric looks better though.
  10. Well I’m yet to use them really, either at home (cos would be too loud) or with my band, though as we’re now permitted to rehearse again that is going to change soon, in fact if weathers ok might use them this week.
  11. I’ve now got two of the ABM PRO NEO 210s, Dave. The ABM EVO-IV 410 & 210 cabs I had before were great, sharper sounding than the previous ranges, but just too big/heavy. I really liked them, although they were quite low-end biased when flat this made for a great presence on big stages and they took my sound really well. So when the PRO NEOs came out I snapped up a couple. Am yet to use them in a band setting but I can tell at home volumes the sound is still classic ABM.
  12. Ashdown RMs are good cabs, nice and light/portable and sound really good. However once they brought out their ABM PRO NEO range I swapped my pair RM210s for a pair of these, again light and portable. Not had a chance to use them in a band situation yet but they def have the ABM sound, which is slightly deeper and fuller than the RMs.
  13. Sold One Mexican Fender Jazz bass, made in 2008 up for grabs at reduced price of £450 Previous owner has changed the bridge to a Fender Hi-Mass, and the pickups to a Tonerider for the neck and Fender Yosemite for the bridge. I’ve had a series/parallel switch put in which really adds some beef to the sound. Some usual buckle rash on the back but nothing that I can really capture on camera, so not that bad. Everything on it works as it should. Comes in a padded Fender gig-bag. Weight is 4.85kg. Given that it doesn’t have a hard case, that I don’t have any packaging material, and the many recent nightmare courier threads this is collection/meet up only. No trades.
  14. A good few venues I’ve played in the UK have this sort of set up, and do prefer the bands to use these house cabs & shells, makes it quicker on changeovers plus the sound man doesn’t have different sounding bass drum & rack toms for every band.
  15. Same for me, the teenage/early 20s me says what a great idea, the 50 plus actual me acknowledges defeat.
  16. Prog about Suedes album Coming Up on Sky Arts now, absolutely loved that album so really looking forward to this one.
  17. I found that too, in established bands if there was ever an A-hole amongst them it was inevitably someone new to the band & fame rather than someone used to it.
  18. Pretty much the same for me, not super low but low enough to be aware that technique wise it would be better higher.
  19. Just a heads up, sold something for £400 on eBay Item listed under £1 selling fees Via the new way of paying I received £348.50 into my account Cash on Collection only from now on methinks
  20. Yep BT12, the BT8 is for pre 2012 Fenders, in fact I think that’s how they’ve got their serial numbers, BT8 is for 2008 until 2012, BT12 from then on.
  21. I wouldn’t say it’s hi-tech super squashy, more like it evens things out and makes things a bit thicker.
  22. Well today I took them two packets of biscuits. I’m not sure if there’s any specific charges if sending the amp there but any work I’ve ever had done (I always take the amps there myself) has been settled with bikkies.
  23. Just back from Ashdown, they plugged in my amp and gave it a thorough test, all working exactly as it should be. Thanks @Ashdown Engineering, yet another reason to buy your excellent products.
  24. You’d get away with it, be careful and don’t push too much low-end and you should be ok, use your ears to determine if the cab is struggling - though in all honesty having a 600 watt head myself I can’t envisage being in a situation where I’d ever be pushing it to full power.
