[quote name='Ed_S' timestamp='1327159915' post='1507217'] Is anybody else reading this and thinking that if you have to turn off features that are commonly agreed to be a waste of time, be careful how you connect the cabs for fear of idiosyncratic 'features' and then if all else fails declare it faulty, an ABM head might be a bad idea? [/quote] Personally ive tried lots of amps and ashdown abm's have always shone through as the best sounding for me. The sub octave is just an effect and should be used as such. It works for some things but not others; I don't think there's many who would have it on all the time. One thing I do know is that when a lot of the eq is cut, that reduces the volume significantly more than I've noticed on other makes/models. Subsequently when boosted it adds a lot more volume. Deffo worth playing about with the eq because as I said before, there should be more than enough volume in an abm head for most gigs.

Anyone tried both ER15 and ER9 filters? I see most people get the 15's but interested to know how they compare in a band situation.

Hartke are great value for money, but I've got an Ashdown ABM500 and an ABM300 and at 4ohms they're both easily loud enough with tonnes to spare. And this is in a loud rock/punk band with a very enthusiastic drummer . The VU rarely enters the red. Any ABM lacking volume into two correct cabs would certainly suggest to me there's a fault.

Never been a fan of antiqua. Reminds me of old stained wallpaper. Pricey, but good nick though.

[quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1326998805' post='1505044'] Here [/quote] Thank-you, but I cant seem to open the file. Any ideas?

Got to learn this quickly and neither myself or the band are in a position to drop the tuning to C. Does anyone have a tab they could shove my way of the song in standard tuning? Any help massively appreciated, thanks!

Steve bought a pickup from me. Smooth transaction, great to deal with, thanks

based in milton keynes. Intersting that thats where marshall's HQ is...

I use Elixir, not because they sound particularly better than cheaper strings, but because they last 4, maybe 5 times as long. They've also got a really smooth feel due to the coating. Generally, aside from absolute dirt cheap sets which the majority I've found to be clanky and rough, I've found most £12 to £30 sets are much of a muchness. Roto RB's and Fenders for example are to me as good as Slinky's, D'addario etc, but can be picked up for nearly half the price. Pricey strings that did sound particularly good were DR and Dunlop, but again they didn't really last long enough to justify the cost unlike Elixirs. I guess even if I could get 3 or more decent sets for the price of one Elixir set, its still 3 times more string changing and breaking in etc. So yeah, probably one of the most expensive sets is my preferred choice, but apart from them, I'm not sure you always do 'get what you pay for'.

Just to hijack the thread for a moment (because it's pretty current), I'm thinking of getting a mighty mite P neck for a MIM std P body (2004). Aside from drilling the holes, is the neck likely to fit straight in, or are any additional adjustments/routing likely to be required?
