[quote name='Shockwave' post='691188' date='Dec 22 2009, 01:28 AM']I got the smaller version the Twin for the equivilant of around £150-200, i have seen quadras go between 300 and 500.[/quote] I'd love to get my hands on one of those Twin Valve Jobs, partly why I'm interested in that Ashdown LB head. You don't often see any of these all-valve Trace heads, well, anywhere, so if it's in good nic, I'm sure the shop'll find a buyer for it... Eude

Wow mate, sorry to hear that Glad you're making a full and speedy recovery too. All the best, Eude

Wow! That truly is a thing of beauty, so understated yet so astonishingly unique. I bet you're stoked! If it sounds half as good as it looks it'll be one of the nicest sounding fretlesses out there I bet. Congrats matey! Eude

Congrats matey, gorgeous wee setup you got there! Eude

Awesome! I'm a huge fan, a very big influence on me as a youngster. Really glad he's still making music, sorely missed when he left Incubus, but in my opinion, the way the band evolved hasn't left much room for bass talent like that. Not saying Ben Kenny (right name?) isn't any good, just different, and more suited to the laid back stuff they do now. Great find mate, I'll be keeping an eye on this release... Cheers, Eude

[quote name='bcbass' post='687463' date='Dec 17 2009, 04:25 PM']Yeah,where is best price for terror bass???[/quote] Red Dog Music have 'em pretty cheap. They're in Edinburgh, but have a pretty decent web shop... Eude

[quote name='mcgraham' post='687408' date='Dec 17 2009, 03:32 PM']I know I know I KNOW!! I haven't seen the bass either y'kno If it's going to be shipping to me soon I'm happy to wait until then. Then (once I've had a little time to get used to it so I don't suitably embarrass myself when attempting to play it), you're more than welcome to check it out! The wife and I are planning on doing a road trip up to and then down from the North of Scotland so we could stop off in Edinburgh on the way Mark[/quote] That would be awesome mate! We'll need to sort something out when you're passing through. Cheers, Eude

Exciting stuff mate pics... Pics... PICS!!!! Eude

[quote name='umph' post='686932' date='Dec 17 2009, 12:46 AM']4 el84s are pretty loud for guitar but not so great for bass[/quote] That's my concern I am getting away with about 150W of class D at the moment though, so maybe, at a push... Cheers, Eude

[quote name='bassmansky' post='686515' date='Dec 16 2009, 04:54 PM']guess theres not enough information on their website?[/quote] Gave the website a good read, but there's always holes in that kind of info. I was actually asking them about how usable they think it will be compared to a small class D amp that is louder on paper. As you'll see already from the thread, some folks say it will be a lot louder than your average 30W, some folks say that's nonsense, I'm not sure what to believe so I just thought I'd ask for Ashdown's opinion is all. I also was wondering if they have a definite date for release and details of UK availability. Eude

[quote name='bassmansky' post='686489' date='Dec 16 2009, 04:34 PM']unusual them not getting back,depends if chris bates the head of sales is about i think.[/quote] Been about 4 days now, I guess they're probably inundated with questions about the new range from around the world. I don't mind waiting, however the longer I wait the more they're pushing me into the arms of a lovely new Orange Terror Bass Eude

I emailed Ashdown with a few questions about the LB, but nothing back yet When I do hear back though, I'll post the info I'm surprised they don't put a valve front end with a Little Giant power section... Cheers, Eude

Yup, Jon makes an awesome Jazz Bass! I still feel bad about parting with mine, it was the easiest playing 4 string I've ever played, but Jazz Basses just ain't my sound... It's looking great mate Cheers, Eude

Hot Damn that's one hell of a fingerboard! It looks like Marbled Chocolate Cake! Good enough to eat Eude

[quote name='yorick' post='685357' date='Dec 15 2009, 04:14 PM']The bottom end rivals any cab i've ever heard, apart from an ACOUSTIC 360 rig i had in the late eighties. Weight wise, i reckon no more than 15kg for the cab.[/quote] Thanks dude Useful info indeed. That's a fairly light cab for a 2X10 too! I'm almost certain I'll be getting one of these badboys soon, but it might be nice to have a matching cab, black (which I'm sure I found online somewhere), especially if it's a 4 ohm jobby, to tease out the full 500W, and at that size and weight it'd be even more portable than my MarkBass - Aguilar set up I have right now. It'll take a lot to make me part with the Auguilar cab though, so I'll have to be dead sure Cheers, Eude

[quote name='yorick' post='685295' date='Dec 15 2009, 03:31 PM']Played a Bass Terror kast saturday for about half an hour through one of the SP210 isobaric cabs, with the eq flat, gain and volume at just past twelve o'clock, and using my Stingray. The volume on tap is phenomenal, and if you like the sound of valves breaking up, it'ds the way forward. Roll on saturday when i go and but it. [/quote] Hey man, how was the SP210 cab? Just wondering if the claims by Orange about phenomenal low end where true. Also, what was the weight like? Cheers, Eude

That's gonna be one cool bass mate! I think it's best without the cutaway too Who did your mockup for you?... Eude

I suffered from this at a gig about a week ago. The first song in the set was just guitar and vocals, giving me a whole 4 minutes to panic about the fact I'd forgotten the bass line to the following song, which handily starts out with just drums and bass, no room for mucking about... Thankfully, I just remembered it, but only just, pure sh*t me breeks! Cheers, Eude

Always loved the Soundgear 6ers, and the early ones are gorgeous, especially when it's a tiny bit Mojo'd... Nice find pal, £270?!... I'm one jealous guy Eude

[quote name='TheButler' post='680018' date='Dec 10 2009, 10:53 AM']I used my BT for the first time in anger at a practice last night. Paired with the Matamp 212 it was a recipe for disaster. This thing is loud, and i mean stupidly so. I had the volume on the first level and gain at the 3rd line and that was all i needed to keep up with the band. The one problem i had was the head going walkabouts on top of the cab... I couldn't crank it much more, because when i did, i induced nausea in the vocalist. It is a setup that has exceeded any expectations. I didn't know £850 could make that sort of sound at that level, i'm a very happy chap indeed.[/quote] Nice one dude, Glad it's working out! Had a wee shot of one of these this week in Red Dog, came a away a little unenthusiastic, but I hadn't been told about the passive tone stack and I was playing quietly through a Hartke 4X10, not my kinda cab, with a lifeless MIM P Bass with dead strings and really high action. Well out of my comfort zone... I still need to try it with my Shuker and my Aguilar cab. Still cool to give you a shout next week matey? Eude

[quote name='Sibob' post='679813' date='Dec 10 2009, 01:10 AM']+1 Also another thread reminded me of Gabriel Nelson, bass player for Cake, excellent player who changes between pick and fingers depending on what the song needs. ALWAYS writes great basslines regardless how he's playing it! Si[/quote] +1 too, and another +1 from the man from Cake, brilliant bass player! I think every technique has its own merits, as they have they're own sounds and their own suitability depending on where and what you're playing. A good bass line is a good bass line. You could be playing your bass with a shoe standing on your head, but as long as it suits the music, it's in the pocket and it feels right, it'll make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up regardless Cheers, Eude

[quote name='bassmansky' post='679227' date='Dec 9 2009, 04:28 PM']word from ashdown is that the LB 30 watt valve head will be £399 when it becomes available.supposingly its as loud as an abm 500w head![/quote] WTF!!!! I heard it'll be under 40lbs too! I think I NEED one of these, assuming they're any good of course. Any ideas on when they'll be available?... Eude

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='677614' date='Dec 8 2009, 10:41 AM']Thanks Eude - can't wait for the next gathering of the clans and us sassanachs up there. It'd be nice to have one in the Spring / early Summer methinks.[/quote] Hopefully it won't be too far away, but far away enough for folks to amass some new gear I'll hopefully have a 2nd GS112 by then too! Cheers, Eude

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='677477' date='Dec 8 2009, 08:28 AM']At the recent McBash in Moffat, we were A/Bing different cabs and heads - there was a load of different stuff including Markbass, EA, TC Electronics and a Barefaced Compact. I don't mean to blow my own trumpet but at the end of the day, everyone was blown away with my rig (AG500 + one GS112). That said, each to his own but the GS112 is an amazing cab especially with the right head.[/quote] I'll second that Your AG500 with a single GS112 sounded incredible! Rekindled my love for my own GS112 before I did anything silly too. Eude
