  1. FYI - These are best used for finger style only as the coating comes off when played aggressively with a pick.
  2. The ABM 600 and your BF Supertwin are a match made in tonal heaven!
  3. Alternatively just buy a valve amp. I recently picked an Ashdown Little B*stard from FB marketplace for just £220! Looks and sounds fantastic. That’s cheaper than getting an Orange Bass Terror. Mine was a steal but £300 will probably get you one. Do it. You won’t regret it.
  4. My first real bass was a Tokai Hardpuncher. I bought it when I was 15 and sold it a couple of years later when I upgraded to a Fender Precision Special with a graphite neck and EMGs. 30 years later the bass came back up for sale for about 4 times what I sold it for. I hummed and hawed for a little while but it was the wife who offered the most clarity by saying “you’ll always regret it if you don’t buy it“ and “you can always sell it if you don’t like it!” Wise words. I bought it and still have it 5 years later. It’s now hanging on my landing wall.
  5. Bought and sold a few things this year. The best has to be an Ashdown Little B 30w valve head last week. Absolutely lovely and pokey too!
  6. I used it on Thursday & Friday at a jam and then a gig. Really surprised how loud it was. Win!
  7. Feel free to Pm me to discuss it further but to be honest I wouldn’t trust the couriers not to damage it!
  8. Mr Pratt playing my recently purchased gold bitsa P bass. Top Bloke.
  9. Up for sale is my Ashdown Studio 210 combo. https://ashdownmusic.com/products/studio-210 It’s super light weight and very loud. Especially when you combine it with an extension speaker! It’s in great condition. These are new almost £600. As I’ve just bought an Ashdown little B valve head for a good price, I’m happy to let this go a bit cheaper. Now selling combo for £250.
  10. Just managed to snag myself an Ashdown Little B*stard for a nice price on FB marketplace (always a worry compared to BC). To be fair, smooth sailing buying it. Just got home, Plugged it into my Supertwin. Wow! Great bass tone and surprisingly pretty loud too. Will test it out properly on Thursday but so far, so good!!
  11. 4 years ago they repaired and serviced my lovely old ABM 500 for free. Since then I’ve upgraded to an ABM 600, Studio 210 combo and just recently bought an Original preamp pedal too. Now have my eye on a LB30 valve amp. Ashdown fan for life!
  12. I recently upgraded to the EBS gold flat patch leads. Would definitely recommend them.
  13. Congratulations.👍 I can’t imagine your neighbours will be too thrilled either! 😂
  14. I have a couple of Fender FB620 gigbags. They are about £50 and excellent. The Mono M80 are probably the best gig bags but are around the £200+ mark. Like Lozz said save the hardcases for touring as the are uncomfortable to carry long distances and you’ll keeping banging into things when you do (or maybe that’s just me!) 😂
  15. I’ve got the deluxe edition (previous model). Superb pedals. Recently changed the chip. Super easy to do and only cost £1 + £1.60 postage! They sound really great too. I currently use a phaser in my clean loop and and OC2 in the dirty loop.
  16. Take your 2 favourites and then make a final decision after your sound check. The one you don’t play can then be your back up.
