  1. Why not look into having a custom 30" 6er made? You can go for similar specs to the JCR? I play 31.5" ACG basses, 5s and 6s, and for me that's the best compromise as I can also get a really useable low B with it. I used to play 33" basses, but switching to 31.5" has been a game changer for me.
  2. Small world then! I think your right, are those a little more fancy? Did you know he was originally a bass player? He had a wonderful fretless P Bass, it had been refinished, but was lovely. He helped me build a 6 string fretless bass.
  3. Who made your Viol? I used to know a guy who made them a while back, a Richard Jones. He'll be a good age by now, he was a really nice, talented bloke.
  4. Man alive, I bet that sounds incredible!
  5. That's very interesting. Does that mean that, with advice a Class D based amp could potentially be upgraded? Newer modules are way more efficient and potent as far as I can tell...
  6. That is absolutely stunning! Can't wait to see this come to life!
  7. Wow, that is looking mighty fine!
  8. I concur, probably better than pearl actually.
  9. Pearl. I would almost always usually say black, but that bass needs the pearl guard.
  10. That is one stunning bass! Good luck with the sale.
  11. Here's my little rig. Gallien Krueger Legacy 500 into a couple of Barefaced One10s.
  12. How about this little beauty? https://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0434harlotmkii5-32/
  13. Love a Boosh reference. Nice board too dude!
  14. A friend of mine drank so much coffee he had to go to hospital!
  15. As a designer, albeit not of amps, I could not agree more!
  16. I reckon a trim control, rather than a pad is a much more sensible idea, as it would allow you to get the optimum response from the input. I doubt a little pot for this would take up any more room than a pad switch too. I do agree that less is more here though, I've never used a send/return in my life
  17. I've always found tone stacks frustrating and confusing, I personally feel that they are irrelevant these days thanks to more modern active eqs. With a tone stack, as long as you're happy with your tone form the bass and amp, it's doesn't matter, but if you need to do a bit more tone sculpting, I'd bet most folks end up using a preamp pedal. Even if you have a PHD in tone stacks, you're still working with extremely limited tools.
  18. So no spiritual successor to the Trace Twin Valve?...
  19. Well that's a bit tasty!
  20. I think they got lost purely because they were a little heavy compared to the Class D offering in it's big brother. There's also a difference between the MAG power supply and the ABM, which is actually quite audible, I think the RM220 had the MAG PSU. If Ashdown could make a head the size of two of the RM ones on top of each other with the ABM power supply, I think they would do well.
  21. It would, especially if they could make it look like this!
  22. I was meaning the Class D modules. I had a MiBass 2.0, which sounded lovely, but lacked the power of more recent Class D amps from Ashdown and other manufacturers, even ones rated to be lower in output. The ABM NEO 400 had the very same Class D power supply. The 1000 is a very different beastie though. I also think some of the ABM EVO3s fell through the gaps as a result of them being made overseas unlike most of the other versions of the ABM, might have just been a bad batch? I'd love to see a mini ABM, in a lunchbox format, something along the lines of an Orange Terror Bass, but I imagine it would need to be a lot bigger for the heat sinks and air flow purposes, especially with a proper old school lump of iron power supply. I doubt that Ashdown would be willing to lose any of the features of the ABM for this kind of thing, as technically, it would no longer be an ABM if you start messing with the recipe...
