That's @Spoombung!

Yup, they stopped being a bargain before Brex*hit, and for the money back then, I would have been absolutely looking at a full custom from a UK builder like ACG or Shuker instead. If Brex*hit makes the prices even higher, I think there might be less of these coming into the UK. Eude

Lovely stuff Pedro. I'll be following this one closely. Eude

In the grand scheme, the ABM heads aren't exactly that heavy anyway though, much lighter than any older Trace gear or a Peavey Mk VI head I had back in my youth. If you've not been near lightweight amps, I think you'd probably find the ABMs lighter than the equivalent Laney or Hartke offerings, their latest version is the lightest yet! I've got a Class D Ashdown MIBass 2.0 for home use which I've used for small gigs, but I also have a full fat ABM EVO II for if/when I get back to gigging properly again. Ashdown ABMs are the only amp I've been unable to break, they take anything you can throw at them and keep kicking. Ashdown also have insanely good customer service and 5 year warranty on new gear. A good friend of mine has an EM EVO II, the 800 watt model and it's very impressive, super loud and although I've not heard it at a gig you'd be heard pressed to guess it was class D. Whatever you go with, I don't think you'd be disappointed. Eude

I don't think I ever put my fretless ACG on here. It's a Krell SC E Type, headless, fretless, chambered, 6 string and it's a 31.5" scale. I absolutely adore it! Eude

Wow, that is stunning! This one will be headless too right? That is going to be one tiny wee bass! Put me down as extremely jealous Eude

Proper Old School. Loving it.

That is stunning, congratulations! I spotted the post on @Manton Customs handy work too, impeccable stuff. Enjoy it! Eude

That's a lovely spec buddy! Can't wait to watch it come to life! Eude

Nothing too in depth, just intrigued by the lighter gauges and the fact they've worked out well for you. I want to pop a low B on the bass I question, E to F isn't really suiting me, I just don't really use the High F, and based on the above, I will be ordering some strings from Neil early next year! If the kids leave me alone for 5 mins I might just order them after Xmas. Eude

Stunning! What's the rest of the spec mate? Eude

Nice. Looking forward to seeing more, and hearing how you get on with those gauges. I've got some starting at 0.115 on the low E for my 26.5" bass, and I find them just too thick. Eude

That neck is stunning!

Wow this is one crazy "save" as you call it, very much looking forward to watching this one progress! It's in safe hands, I know from my own experience Eude

Absolutely! A pal of mine, with an old Superfly head needed spares and didn't know about their legendary customer service, I set him straight and after a very pleasant chat with Dave Green, everything he needs is on it's way in the post! This is the kind of stuff that keeps people brand loyal, if you know you can rely on a manufacturer to have your back, plus the fact they make brilliant gear, why would you look elsewhere? Eude

I've talked to Mark about this before, and as @Merton says, the PCB would need completely redesigned. I wish they could make more of a "lunchbox" style design, like the Orange Terror Bass, albeit a fair bit deeper, but I don't think it will happen, as they don't have any bother selling the amps as they are. Eude

Absolutely brilliant.

Awesome, all good info dude, thank you. I know the SL 12s are a lot more pokey and mid range focussed, compared to the now discontinued GS ones. The GS come across a bit scooped with lots of low end and sparkle, but I managed to get out of it what I wanted and I like mids. I guess it's not fair to compare to Barefaced cabs in a lot of cases, as it's just not like for like. If the DarkGlass 1x12 stands up though, that's quite an endorsement! Eude

Thank you for the reply, much appreciated. The reason I ask about a comparison is the only 1x12 cab I really loved was an Aguilar GS112, with the tweeter. I seemed to kick out a lot of low end for its size. I paired it with a MarkBass LittleMark, but hearing a pair powered by an original AG500 left me weak at the knees! I moved mine on as I needed something smaller, more portable, as it was a bit of a lump and I didn't need massive volume by any means. I do miss it though. What model of Aguilar 1x12s did you have? Eude

A very good plan 🤘 How does it compare to other 12s, if you've had any before? Eude

Lovely stuff, is that the 1x12?

Here's a demo of one >>

I think it's actually by Ray Rogers, R Basses. Here's another one, quite different though >> https://reverb.com/item/563441-ray-rogers-r-bass-5-string-zebra-over-alder-w-lane-poor-pickups

That is STUNNING!

Very true. I'm a graphic designer and as much as there's a lot more you can do than Wix and Squarespace, for a basic site, you can't really go wrong with these web building sites, silly to pay pro money when you don't need a pro site. Cheers.
