Here you go!!!

Hey all

So I run a 2u Ashdown head and I’m looking at getting a better flight case for it.

Now, should I...

a) Get a better 2u rack case (probably SKB)

b) Get a 4u with a 2u drawer

or

c) something else...

thanks for you thoughts

That would work. I'd put something between the case and the amp to protect the amp.

Is 1U enough? What would you keep in the box?

That’s the next problem. Out of the box my wireless fits well in a 1u

 I can get a decent 3U for a good price and was going to chuck this in above it for transportation.

i may stick with a 2u just to be sure.

I would look for an Ashdown RM 12” combo. LOVE mine!!!

Thanks for heads up. I'm really looking for a 12-15" speaker for a bit more old school low end rather than the tight midst of 210s. 

I have a 12” RM combo and absolutely love it. Definitely worth looking for one especially if you like your ABM

I'm trying get an effect pedal that makes my bass sound like a 80s synth bass sound , ie human league/pet shop boys/ madonna? Any ideas? Don't want to spend too much!!

Any chance you have any settings please?

I have used my iPad to read music from for a number of years and have just been bought the latest iPad (not pro) for Christmas. Does anyone know ‪which model of K&M iPad mic stand holder fits the 2018 iPad please?‬

Always interested on what order people think effects should go in. 

Well these are mine and their order:

Bass Guitar
Boss TU-2 Tuner
EBS MultiComp Compressor
EHX Bass Micro Synth
Boss OC-2 Octaver
EHX Bass Big Muff Nano
Boss CE-2B Chorus
Tech 21 SansAmp 
Amp

Thoughts???

Must admit an Ashdown ABM Evo amp-head is on my shopping list. I love the ABM cabs too, but they`re just a bit too heavy for me.

Well if you like ABM range you will like the RM range just as much. I have both, ABM rig and RM combo and I get the Ashdown sound from both with no compromise. Definitely worth a look.

I fit mine into a 3door, old shape Clio. Good luck with yours!

I recently finished a run of Avenue Q doubling on upright and electric. The K&M did an ok job.

I have recently picked up a RM combo myself to replace my MarkBass.

The positive feedback that I have had from audiences and sound technicians has been amazing.

I have an ABM rig as well but the RM combo easily gives me the Ashdown sound that I want with absolutely no compromise!!!

I think go for that sound that you want. If you can get that from MarkBass/Aguilar etc then great. Otherwise look at what makes your sound for you.

I've started using the Ashdown RM series instead of the MarkBass that I was as that is the sound I hear in my head. Still lightweight I know, but a good few kilos heavier than I was using.

Just thought that I would mention the Musicians Hearing Health Scheme.

If you are a working player (and I'm not sure how loosely that needs to fit) then this scheme is brilliant!

Hearing check and custom made moulded earplugs for £40. Definitely worth investigating!!!

Hey everyone,

I have been bought a FV500H for Xmas to use as a volume pedal with my active and passive basses (inc Upright with Shadow p/up) and at best my effects chain will look like this -

LS2 (Line selector) TU2 (Tuner) FV500 (Volume) and maybe an extra at the end (OC2, EBS Multicomp or whatever)

Have I been bought the right one or should I send it back and get the Low Imedance model.

Hey there!

I recently bought the Boss ME-6B and was wondering if anyone else with this pedal had any good non factory settings they would like to share please?

All help appreciated!

Have you sold this yet???

Pit band for The Producers. Was amazing!

Anyone know where I can get original pics of discontinued Fender basses please? Particularly the 99 American Deluxe Fretless in black.

Just like to back up that experience of Schaller. Very helpful - in fact I ended up conversing with the boss over email. I was looking for a single screw for an M4S machine head. What I got was 4x capstans, pinions and screws, a sticker and a bag of plectra. No charge. Unbelievable.
[/quote] YES YES YES!!! I got a bag of rainbow plectra too. One of each colour and some Schaller stickers! Amazing!
