Who's Who

Bump for a couple of great little cabs!

Bump

I would consider part-ex/trades for Hartke LH1000 head, Hydrive 4x10 or 1x15 cabs.

Cheers

Looking for sale really, but would consider part-ex towards some Hartke Hydrive gear, as that's what I'm gonna put the cash towards anyway.

Cheers

Hi

I have for sale an Ashdown Five Fifteen MiniRig. It's the 100 watt head with a 2x10 cab, made to look like a full stack.

I bought this new and have used it indoors half a dozen times, it's since sat in my wardrobe, so it's in brand new mint condition - £150.
it's a fantatstic little amp that looks really cool, there's a demo video here:

I live just outside North London, anyone welcome to come try it first.

Bump!!!

Hello

I was hoping to get some advice from users of Markbass gear.
I'm thinking of going for a Markbass rig, my main requirements are for it to be loud and light.

I've been looking at the heads and was thinking of going for the Little Mark Rocker 500, which as far as I can tell is the same as a LMIII, but with an added tube drive.
I've since seen the Little Mark Tube (not the 800 version), and wondered what the difference was. They both appear to be 500 watt heads, so does anyone know what the real difference is, and can anyone recommend one out of the two???

Now for the cabs.
I've been looking through the cab options on their website. I do like the idea of a full stack as they are so light and portable. The only 410 they now do is from their standard range.
So if I looked at the standard 1x15, which is rear ported, should I pair it with the 4x10 that's also rear ported, or are there any benefits of getting the front ported 4x10.
I don't know much about porting anyway, so any advice would be greatly apprecieated.

Thanks in advance

Hi Basschatters

Up for sale I have two amazing cabs from Ashdown's UK built Classic Neo series.
(Would consider trades for Hartke Hydrive gear)

They are the Mini cabs which are super light weight, yet extremely loud with massive power handling.

The Classic Neo series are UK built and far superior to the ABM series, hence the heavier price tag.

I have the 1 x 15 (350 watt) and 4 x 8 (1000 watt) versions, which work brilliantly together as a massive sounding rig in a very portable package, and both come supplied with Roqsolid covers. (I also have the Ashdown Klystron 500 head, it's not yet for sale, but if anyone fancied the whole rig, I'd be open to offers)

They are both in A1 perfect condition and appear brand new, in fact the 1x15 still has the price sticker on it.

The 1x15 is £270

The 4x8 is £290
[attachment=83945:ashdown_001.jpg] [attachment=83946:ashdown_003.jpg] [attachment=83947:ashdown_002.jpg]

Or the pair for £525

[attachment=83950:ashdown_007.jpg] [attachment=83951:ashdown_009.jpg]

I'm certain whoever buys these will absolutely love them, as I have.

I live just outside North London in Waltham Cross, would be prepared to meet some distance.

Here are the links to the Ashdown website, I'll post some photo's of the 4x8 when I get a chance, but from the outside it basically looks the same as the x15.

Thanks for the advice guys, sadly the 4004's current price tag wouldn't be an option!

Sorry to sound like a complete moron, but what would getting the pickups rewound do exactly. I don't quite understand what that would be, is it a job most guitar tech's can do, any idea how much it would cost.

And any advice on an EQ setting for the bass, and amp to get the Ric sounding better?

Thanks again.

Hi

Has anyone out there tried any other pickup on a 4003, other than the Rick stock ones?
I have a 2007 Blue Burst 4003 and I find that the output of the pickups seems really weak when compared to my other basses (Jazz Bass and Thunderbird).
They are also fairly inconsistent across the strings, even after a decent set-up.

For this reason I'm not really using the Rick at the minute, and always gig with one of the other two, which just doesn't seem fair on her!!!

Was considering swapping the pickups for something with a bit more beef, like the Seymour Duncan pickups.
If anyone has any experiance of these, or any other type of pickup please let me know as I'd like some opinions before shelling out £170.00.

Thanks in advance.

Another price drop - now down to a silly £500 for both cabs.

These really are brilliant, loud and light cabs.

They're both only 585mm tall, the 4x8 weighs just 25kg and handles 1000w, while the 1x15 is just 21kg and handles 350w.

Hi

I just wanted to ask a couple of silly questions if I can as a lot of the tech talk seems to fly over my head.

My band have recently changed from an originals to a covers band (sold out), so we are learning as we go with our new P.A as we never needed one before.

At the minute I use my amp as backline, and the P.A is just for vocals, as we look to play larger venue's I'll need to run my amp through the P.A.

Should I just Mic up my amp, or look at running it through the P.A properly. My head does have an XLR DI output, so if I run this through to the P.A, would I set the EQ on my amp as usual, or set it flat (do I then fiddle with all those confusing knobs on the mixing desk?)

Also would standard P.A speakers handle the bass for now, or should I invest in a bass bin to sit under one of the P.A speakers straight away.

Thanks in advance guys n gals.

End of week Bump!

PM'd

New price is £550

Price Drop!!!

Just to add, these really are amazing cabs as I'm sure anyone who's had the pleassue of using them will agree. They're really loud, yet really light, they're head and shoulders above Ashdown's ABM range, and they look the bizzo too.

Bump!!!

Hi, I have for sale two Ashdown cabs from their UK built, flagship Classic Neo series.
I have the 1x15 and the 4x10 up for grabs, both are 8ohm.
Both cabs are practically brand new, in A1 perfect condition and less than 6 weeks old.
I also have one Ashdown vinyl cover, for whoever buys the first one.

[b]1x15 - £300
4x10 - £350[/b]

[b]Or both cabs for £600[/b]

Chepaest I've found these on the net is £529 for the 1x15, and £710 for the 4x10.

These cabs are in perfect condition, and never been used, so a bargain at this price.

Neo 410h cabinet - [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=classic&ID=187"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.as...ssic&ID=187[/url]

Neo 115h cabinet - [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=classic&ID=186"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.as...ssic&ID=186[/url]

I would consider a trade/part-ex for a Ashdown Classic Neo 414h Cab.

Ok, if I had a 500 watt head rated at 4ohm, would their be much differance in volume between running the following two options:

One 4x10 cab rated at 4ohm.

Or a 2x10 cab and a 1x15 cab, both rated at 8ohm (making it a 4ohm load).

Lets presume all kit is from the same range, and all the cabs would have planty enough power handling for the head.

Thanks

Them Neo Minis are sweet!

Cheers MB1, they are pretty awesome cabs. The 4x10 is also truly awseome, but you do compensate for the size.
