I'd love to give a Super P a try having owned an ABZ 4 and Afterburner 5 and being a big precision fan... Maybe some day!

A bit cheeky calling it 200watts. You'd think Ashdown would have learned from the CTM15 "all tube" debacle. Be straight up, FFS!

Agreed on all counts! I think used Ibanez or Dingwall basses are the best bet below a grand. I'm interested to try one of the new headless Ibanez basses, but if I could get a used Dingwall cheaper I know where my money would go having owned 2 Dingwalls before.

That Facebook page is pure porn! Love it!

Ormsby guitars have done runs of fanned fret basses. Don't know if they have plans to do more. Maruszczyk offer multiscale as an option. Ltd do the B1005MS. Keep an eye on GOC Guitars. In August/September they shared pics of some headed and headless multi-scale basses that they're considering developing: https://www.instagram.com/p/B3BL_YYHK7t/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet https://www.instagram.com/p/B1nhkQ6nH_L/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dnUVigSao/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

It's just 4 screws... Just make sure neck doesn't fall off and hit anything.

There's one glaring omission there... When are they available? I'd want to know that before parting with anything... Edit: September 2020 shipping. Hmm... I think I'll pass in the meantime, but it looks like a helix killer to me!

Multi-touch screen too!

Looks and sounds expensive... But VERY interesting all the same!

Focusrite Clarett2Pre Thunderbolt. No latency any more here!

They're so good they prompted me to upgrade my audio interface so I could enjoy them with lower latency than my old USB2 one could manage...

Alas I'm not enough of a guitar player to truly take do it justice!

I did... And Nolly... And Abassi...

Can't disagree with any of that, but I think that's the fault of the users as much as the plugins! I'm no darkglass fanboi (like some I could mention here! Eh @Kev), but Parallax is an outstanding plugin. I wouldn't buy the Darkglass suite as I don't like the hardware versions... except for the v1 900 amp that had the tone control which made a MASSIVE difference for me, but which hasn't been implemented on the DG suite as far as I can tell.

Damn it... As I pointed out in the other thread, I should have hmmed and hahed over an HX Stomp a little longer. Not that it's a bad unit, far from it! But... GAS...

...perhaps I should have held off a little longer... If this is what I think it is it could be HUGE...

I very much like the look of that one...

Strange that they've decided to go larger in the current climate...

Orange are dreaming at that price... That's a fair chunk more expensive than the Darkglass X7 and the Tech21 dUg pedals that have similar feature sets (give or take). Almost into HX Stomp territory. Doomed to fail I'm afraid...

From my limited knowledge that's a pretty tidy looking driver for the price. I'll bookmark that one as a "just-in-case". Xmax of 7mm and quite a wide frequency response. The chambers of this cab are a little small (89 litres or 3 cubic feet, it's quite compact for a 2x15) so tuning is always going to be higher than ideal, but if I forget about fundamental frequencies (bah, who needs 'em), and high pass to 45/50Hz somewhere in the chain then all will be well... I think...

Quickly plugging numbers into WINISD gives a tuning frequency of 50Hz for the 1505KADT using the existing ports. I haven't taken into account the volume of the ports or the volume displaced by the driver yet so we're very ballpark there and it seems a little high to me already...

So does anyone know the difference between a 1505KA and a 1505KADT? The peavey literature I can find seems to suggest they are one and the same, but physically these 2 drivers are different, the basket of the KADT being about an inch deeper than the KA. @3below @stevie @Bill Fitzmaurice

Good call on the foam. Having never experienced BWs before I was unaware of this issue. But that was certainly one of the problems. I've removed the magnets, cleaned out the remaining foam and dust, cleaned the melted goo off the voice coil/mylar former and cleared as much as I can get out of the air gap in the magnet. I'm awaiting fresh mounting screws, t-nuts and gasket tape before remounting the speakers. This'll give me some time to work on the sealing of the cab and jack plate and investigate the correct tuning of the chambers. I found a comment on the other forum from greenboy (of fearless/fearful renown) that the 1505KADT is NOT suitable for bass... So we'll have to see how it works out... I'm reluctant to spend any more on "the heap" so replacement drivers are out of the question!

H&K is quality stuff. I bought a Bassbase 600 cheap a few years back. Haven't used it very much as yet, but when I have I've been seriously impressed by it.
