Remember seeing these in my local music shop around 1990ish. Always thought they were fab but being a skint student at the time never got round to buying one. You never even see them on ebay these days... rare as rocking horse sh*t. Cracking gear though !

Ashdown MAG 250 1x15 + 2x10 Extension cab - £150 the lot

Right folks, moving house.... the clearout begins !! I've got this Ashdown MAG250 1x15 combo. It's been given a right good knock on the top of it which resulted in a big dent in the top of the wood. I've had to cut out the hole and hoover out all the bits of broken chipboard that were sitting around inside the amp. It works perfectly well... it just has a big hole in it. Obviously I'd suggest getting something like a small steel plate screwed on top of the hole so you don't electrocute someone !! I'm in Stockton on Tees, but travel up and down the M1 to Sheffield quite often... so if you're on the way I can drop it off. Also I've got this 2x10 Mag extension cabinet, paid £80 for it about a year ago... so you're basically getting the amp for £70. Like I say everything works fine. Here's the pics.... Cheers Faron

Just wanted some opionions on how viable it is to thin the width of a bolt on neck. I'm talking about talking 3-4mm off the top and bottom edges and moving the strings closer together. Obviously I'd be changing the bridge as well and maybe the nut too. Any advice and expert opinions welcome ! Cheers Faron

[quote name='donzo44' post='474804' date='Apr 29 2009, 09:21 AM']Hi Faron , would you consider a trade ??? I have a rather nice Fretless Alembic Epic ( it is up for sale at £900 at bass gallery ). Hows things up in there ..... I am originally from Guisborough , now living Herts . I remember playing at the Cargo fleet social club every Saturday night ........ COR those where the days . cheers Don [/quote] Played Cargo Fleet many times.... all miserable, ha ha. I think our drummer's lass fell down that metal staircase once n all. Anyway, no trades, just flog I'm afraid

Any good ? The youtube demo sounded pretty decent.

Got an SA450 myself and the only thing I'd swap it for is an SD800 or 1200. I know what you mean about the markbass cabs though, I thought mine were rubbish, no top end on them at all and if you like a bit of 'zing' forget it. Currently using a couple of Eden D210XLTs and it's never sounded better.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='494335' date='May 21 2009, 03:11 PM']Actually, you are a slap hound aren't you? Defo EBS.[/quote] I do like a bit of a slap and pop but 99% of the stuff I play live doesn't use that so it's purely 'even out the sound' thing.

Torn between the DBX 266XL or a Samson S COM. Anyone tried the samson? it's only £89 n all !! [url="http://www.bandland.co.uk/catalog/samson-com-stereo-compressor-p-1772.html?osCsid=e4a22ec7da2ef89c7370255ccbeaac2c"]http://www.bandland.co.uk/catalog/samson-c...370255ccbeaac2c[/url] I'll probably get the DBX like.

[quote name='AM1' post='491031' date='May 18 2009, 12:04 AM']Hiya, thanks! Here's the link for anyone else interested: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfha46FzZ6E"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfha46FzZ6E[/url] 1:40 with the bridge pickup only and funk switch on - nice sound! If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the bass, you can PM me if you prefer.[/quote] Bought on ebay for £280, there's a few weird variations on the funkmachine around nowadays. Seen the odd silver one and also a one like mine that doesn't have the TM Stevens logo on the front. I will say however that the settings for the funk switch are really really sensitive...a couple of grub screw thingies on the back. Seriously it's taken me a couple of years to get it right !

I've got one... in fact I did a demo of it on youtube.... just type in funkmachine demo or something. Nice bass, decent tone, lovely flat fingerboard and neck shape.

thought id get your opions on a Shuker Jazz bass.

Seriously, I'd wouldn't consider buying anything until you think about what you like and dislike in a bass. It's a hell of a lot of money to part with, if you're left with an instrument that doesn't suit you or is poorly thought out you'll be kicking yourself. Do some research. Find out what sounds like what, not just in your practice room but when your out gigging too. I've had some fab 'bedroom' basses that were appalling when played live. I've been playing since I was 19 and it's only now at 36 I've started considering getting a custom bass, just purely because I know what neck shape I like, what pickups I like, what types of wood I like. It's a very long slow learning curve, honestly.
