  2. hi all,have been reading that sticking a 4x10 with my 2x10 cab could ruin the 2x10 as its working twice as hard? the amp is a ashdown abm 575watt and the 2x10 is a abm 350watt 2x10. would be getting a abm 4x10 600w or something else. am i right in thinking this would be a problem if i was playing at full volume (nearly 300watts going into 2x10) please any advice would be great! thanks simon
  3. is it me or is this is a seriously good deal?! have a bump on me. i used to own one of these and they are sweet amps

  5. Thanks alot guys. Will be straight in the passive mode tomorrow Also,with the 8ohm combo and the 8ohm cab I should be getting 4ohms from the amp so the full potential of 575watt? Even though its a 2x10 not a 4x10? Cheers
  6. hey all. so after getting my combo fixed and adding a new cab (ashdown 575w abm with 2x10 cab) i was quite annoyed that it seems way quieter than i expected. on over half way in a tiny little practcie room. the dude at the rehearsal place (long term bassist) said i should just use my Active bass (musicman sterling) on the passive setting,i tried this for 5 mins and it was twice as loud on the same volume setting. can i do this long term or will it bust my amp/bass!? is the musicnam output just really really quiet?also on passive setting,the little input dial on the amp actually moves whereas on the active setting it doesnt move at all,suggesting its hardly getting a decent signal cheers thanks alot,this is annoying me!!! simon
  7. Hey all, I was looking for some help,I'm after a pedal unit that I can use quite advance drum loops and record my bass over them,I have come to the conclusion that my bass playing would benefit from structured practice and time keeping. A metronome is all well and good but I want actual 'realish' beats. Any ideas? I can only find zoom etc but I'm not sure how much control I could have over the patterns Cheers Simon
  8. Thanks for all the replies,will wait til the neighbours are out and try all the options out before I start screwing wheels onto one of the cabs! Cheers guys
  9. I just assumed the 2x10 should be above the 15 as everyone seems to run their rigs like that! :-/
  10. Hi all,bit of an odd one here but basically I have a 1x15 ashdown abm combo and a 2x10 ashdown cab on top and basically I have noticed the front where the speakers are mounted are exactly the same dimensions so I was wondering how hard it would be to swap the speakers round,that way I have the controls at the top of the rig and the cab is Mich deeper and sits wobbly on the combo. So I would have a 2x10 combo on top of a 15 cab (which I could put casters on). I know ashdown do this amp in a 2x10 combo and the wattages all match up,just don't know about 'splitting' the faces from the wooden bodies and wiring etc. Many thanks Si
  11. seen and heard (brought the 2x10) this rig today, all in great condition as described and sounding great, nice chap too! simon
  12. Hi mate,where are you based? On my phone so can't see the side bar bit Cheers Si
  13. i have a 575watt AGM ashdown combo and was looking for a 2x10 to run with it, would 300watts be enough as its a 575watt 'head'? amps and wattages confuse me! also is this 8ohm? cheers mate si
  14. Would be interested in a swap for a 4x10 or 2x10 cab, to go with my ashdown combo
  15. i have a 50s re issue, the maple neck is stunning, a real vintage gloss. mine has Basslines so cant say too much about the original sound but its a lovely bass. i also have a standard Mexican (for sale actually ;-) ) and the quality is awesome. iv never played a USA Fender but its hard to see how they can be too much better than my Mexicans si
  16. thanks for all the replies. getting used to the eq now, the treble is so sensitive so i hardly move that from the lowest point (although this is with a little Marshall 30w practice amp). with the pick-up selector all the way the the right,as you look down on it, the slap tone is literally perfection,everything i wanted from getting a Musicman over my p bass. and strap locks fitted now, i used the original screws from the bass as the ones supplied with the locks were less than half the length! many thanks si
  17. hello there, due to buying my dream bass (Musicman Sterling) one of my Precisions has to go so here she is.... 2003 Made in Mexico Fender Precision Serial MZ3176040 White body with Rosewood Fretboard and tort pick guard, Alder body i believe Nearly new Rotosound Flat-Wound strings Mint Gator Hardcase I brought this bass brand new from SoundControl in Milton Keynes in 2004, i picked this one in particular for the dark Rosewood fretboard (not a fan of light rosewood,looks a little cheap imo). the bass is actually pretty mint except a repaired ding on the bottom,this is hard to see and doesnt effect how the bass plays at all. Few tiny scratches on the very bottom but thats being very picky. Plays lovely with the Flat Wounds, nice low action and standard Fender Pick-Ups.Kept safe in a Gator Hardcase (complete with keys). Im looking for £300 firm with the case included, as the case is basically new. Will post for £15 with Interlink as my boss has an account with them Cheers Simon Few pics, please go to [url="http://s1092.photobucket.com/albums/i416/me_and_the_bastards/Fender%20Precision/"]http://s1092.photobu...er%20Precision/[/url] for a whole album
  18. hi all, picked up my dream bass yesterday- a Musicman Sterling 3eq firstly im blown away with the sound, its so versitile! but need to know a few things...... as it has a 3 band EQ on board, do i keep the settings on flat on the amp? and i want to put strap locks on,obviously, but am dubious about messing with her so soon and my guitarists lock ripped out, which i assume bust the thread in his guitar body, really dont want that happening on my new baby! a little pic....... with what seems like the worst camera known to man
  19. many thanks for the help,have it sorted now. yes its a blue one. better get ordering a 4x10 cab, need some 575watt love ( if only my band were playing venues i actually needed that!) si
  20. hey all, spoke to the people at my local music shop and the speaker in my Asdown abm 575watt combo is dead so i was wondering what good replacements were available? iv had a quick look but only found celestions speakers at 400watts. one of the guys there said i should take the head out and try find a rack case for it,and buy a cab for it,what do people think? many thanks simon
  21. i dont suppose it will be,but if its still about on the 3rd of june i will take it,travelling up to see the misses in liverpool then. she is very sexy! (the bass i mean ;-) ) i will be flogging a 2005 50s precision, black/gold/maple too soon if its takes your fancy simon
  22. hello all,am looking to trade my 2003 MIM Fender Precision in lovely white with gold PG and rosewood neck for either a fender jazz or a classic vibe/vintage modified squier jazz bass. have got 3 P basses now (50s reissue,this one,modded squier) and really want a jazz for this new new project im involved in. cheers Simon [attachment=68288:bass_002.JPG] [attachment=68289:bass_003.JPG]
