yeah I thought it was a grounding issue too - it seemed to be ok when i first got the guitar back from the guy who did the shielding and checked the connections, but the problem seems to be i don't know when or where it will happen - so you can't plan for it.

Hello Hive Mind, I need some help / advice regarding my pedal board. During lockdown in 2020 I decided to upgrade my old board and add in a few new pedals, namely the envelope filter, compressor and mono synth. I also upgraded the power supply to the fuel tank. It sounded fine to begin with, but when I was listening through headphones I could hear a distinct 'hum' coming from somewhere - not particularly noticeable when listening just through the amp. I took my bass (a Sire U5) to a Luthier who checked all the connections and put shielding inside the cavities.... still no luck! I then changed the power supply to the 1-spot and disconnected all the pedals other than the essential ones which worked for a while until a gig this weekend when....... the buzzing came back. It wasn't there when I was touched the strings but otherwise..... yep you guessed it.......it was sounding like a swarm of p*ssed off wasps. I really don't know what the issue is - whether its a specific pedal, a grounding issue or an electrical supply issue. I was fuming at the weekend at the gig and if i'm honest, it felt really amateurish with me apologising for the umpteenth time to band mates with "sorry about the buzzing, that's me again". I don't quite know where to go with this one - any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Pedalboard pic attached thanks

I'm selling my beloved Ashdown CTM100 and 4x10" Ashdown cab, as we've recently upgraded to in-ear monitors in our band which means I don't need quite such a big rig (which is good for my back!) The CTM100 is classic ashdown with a great range of tone (and volume) for any discerning bassist. It's been serviced and PAT tested last year, and is in good working order save for a small crack in the meter and a slightly temperamental DI output. I've got a Roqsolid cover for it also. The cab is a used ashdown 4x10" (410T) which works really well with the head. It's fairly well gig-worn with a couple of scuffs but it's still in good working order. It's fitted with casters so it can be moved about easily and again has a case for it. I'm after around £750 for both, but would be willing to split the two if the right offer was made (no trades unfortunately). The head can be couriered (it's around 19kg in weight) but the cab would need collecting, or we'd have to make an arrangement to meet halfway etc. PM me if you'd like any more information or pictures. thanks -
bumpino!! :-)

Just been surfing online for ashdown little bastards amps- how come there's such a price range? Some retailers seem to be flogging them for around the £500 mark whilst others are around £400. Are the more expensive ones newer, do they have bigger/ better valves in or are they UK made?
