Lovely, and quick! How long was the turnaround on this build? Eude

[quote name='antk' timestamp='1410787563' post='2553098'] Ugh. I'm completely racked with indecision. So... short list so far is: Ashdown Mibass combo - surprisingly good, and LOUD, nice tone... but I worry about the 10" speaker at gig volumes. Ibanez P3110 - as above really... probably preferred the Ashdown tonally. Amazingly small little thing though. Fender Rumble 100 v3 - very nice tone, amazingly light, but is 100w going to be enough... but with a 12" speaker it should be less "farty" than a 10? Also - no chance of connecting a second cab. GK MB112 - good, but probably not as nice as the Fender, but seemed louder. TC-E BG250 2x8 - amazingly small little thing - not convinced that it'll cope being turned up loud. The Fender and the Ibanez can be had for peanuts... and I've seen the GK for less than £300 - so that's quite tempting, too. Pfft. Decisions... [/quote] Its a tough decision, I'd be tempted to go with whichever solution is more flexible, i.e. giving you the option of adding a second cab for more volume should you need it. My 2p would be the Ashdown, but I have mentioned that previously Anyway, best of luck mate, and good work managing to audition all those prospective options, not an easy task! Eude

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1410269107' post='2547662'] Ach, I can wire sockets and switches but not much else. I did a quick google and found this, chock full of technical sounding stuff - [url="http://www.theiet.org/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=205&threadid=42230"]http://www.theiet.or...&threadid=42230[/url] [/quote] A ground lift switch on the amp would've helped but ultimately, the whole house need rewiring, the mains for the loft is wired up the side of the house from the garage. I'm fairly sure that's not right! Eude

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1410268106' post='2547650'] It's fifty 'ere. Our hum is a bit bassier than our cousins across the pond [/quote] Ha ha, fair enough mate Any suggestions on how to fix it bar rewiring the whole house? You're quite good with electronics right? I've tried a Monster Power thing ( http://www.monsterproducts.com/power/monster_power.asp ) which is meant to help, but it does nothing at all, and it's also the most hideous 8 way adapter I ever did see... Eude

I don't notice any fans noise on mine either, I have quite a bit of 60 cycle hum, but the electrics in my house were literally done by a chimp.

Gorgeous bass mate, congratulations! Classy, understated, yet absolutely stunning. Eude

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1409873654' post='2544304'] Thanks ead, I think I've bothered Eude on that subject previously and he was very helpful. [/quote] Happy to help mate, if you've any other questions, you know where I am [quote name='skelf' timestamp='1409900987' post='2544371'] Doable I would think. Not done one for a while personally I prefer the sound of mags. [/quote] I completely agree, if you're trying to get a more upright kinda sound, you can do a lot with 2 mag pickups and clever use of the filter preamp on an ACG, never mind string choice. Eude

[quote name='Sonic_Groove' timestamp='1409840092' post='2543836'] Thanks Eude I have ordered a MiBass 1x10 rig from Andertons (the warranty and Ashdown customer service helped swing it!). I plan to see how I get on with the 1x10 & add either another 10 or a 12 later. So Bonzodog or anyone else if you try the 12 & 10 together can you report. Thanks all B [/quote] Nice one mate, great news Probably not much help, but you can see that setup in this video >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLDE84DpNAY Eude

In my experience, 2 X 1x12s would kick the arse off most average 4x10s, obviously, just my own experience of course. Best of luck with it mate

[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1409832904' post='2543737'] As per another thread i did the other day i am now seriously considering these Mi cabs for my new rig. I will be powering them with a hartke lh500 but not sure whether to go for 2 x 112 cabs or mix it up with a 110 and a 112 [/quote] The Mi12s will give you a fair bit more oomph, but will take up more space and be more of a pain to move. They're not exactly huge and they're not that heavy, but they're not the smallest 1x12s out there. The Mi10s punch well above their weight, but if you need a lot of stage volume, I'd probably go for 12s. Your idea of one of each might be the best compromise however. I've not been much help have I... Eude

[quote name='Sonic_Groove' timestamp='1409785421' post='2543451'] Hi Eude -- Your sig says you use 2 10inch MiBass cabs, but on the Ashdown website they are listed as 4ohm each! are they really 8ohm? Thanks Brendan [/quote] Originally the Mi10s were 4 Ohm, but I don't think they sold that many of them in that guise, most people looking for a light modular setup would've liked two 8 Ohm versions, so I guess they listened customer suggestions, including my own, and changed the spec. I think they only make 8 Ohm ones now, there may be some 4 Ohm ones still in shops, but they're not making them anymore. Eude

Hot Damn!

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1409223551' post='2537638'] Thanks, I think from an earlier trawl that Doddy has the earlier MiBass with the semi parametric eq, since I use very little eq this shouldn't be a downer for my use. [/quote] Yup, the older models had a similar parametric EQ to the ABM range, the 2.0 has a nice simple Gain/Bass/Mid/Treble/Volume setup, much nicer
