Will split if it helps.

Or will consider trades for an Ashdown EVO head or Rootmaster head.

That's superb that is. Off I go to buy one

Me too! That pad will be ideal on top of the stack.

Cheers Dood!

I'll tell you what I'd love, purely because I hate making the extra trip to bring it, it doesn't fit in my small gig box and I sometimes forget it altogether....

some kind of bass keeper/holder/rest to put the bass guitar on whilst not in use attached to the cab.

Now £375 for the entire rig.

Cheers.

I bought one 2 weeks ago.

It's absolutely awesome!!

Just dial those mids out and it's phenomenal in my opinion.

I also noticed it'd been put back again, and the wording was a little ambiguous on price.

Champagne Supernova for me.

I'm so tempted by the j&d as well.

But i love the wood grain alder body on the harley benton.

Hmmm decisions, decisions...

Cheers.

Next practice is on Thursday this week, so I'll keep you informed.

Bump.

just looking for a backup bass at the moment.

had my eyes on the harley benton vintage jazz bass for a while, then came across this!! looks great and a PJ configuration too!

this olympic white gloss looks great. good price too.

great stuff!

cant beat it when everyone has a great time!

willing to add the 2x10 ext cab if it helps the sale.

combo £295.

combo & 2x10 ext cab £395.

It's an amazing amp.

I love the bass face (fender bassman) amp, really rich and smooth. Then going to the trace and gk - they sound awesome in a completely different way.

The only advice I would give is:

1) set the level to 12 oclock.
2) set the gain to 12 oclock.
this helps give you a good idea of the amp sounds. Turning higher can have the sound (intentionally) break up.
3) turn the mids to 6/7 oclock. Ie off / fully left. Then just add to taste. Having them at 12oclock can give an echo/mark bass signature tone.
4) I also turn the treble off my bass, then add to taste. The bassman sounds awesome with a tiny bit of treble. The trace sounds awesome with treble fully on.

The hi mids sliders make the 15 sound awesome.

Bump for this. The cheaper MAG kit is going for more than this on ebay. Grab a bargain.

You can pick up an Ashdown after 8 15 for about £40 second hand.
Easily powerful enough for home use and has a headphone jack socket.

a few days on, and the amp is absolutely brilliant! Sounds so rich with this cab.

cant wait to practice at volume next week!

the case is a mac tools case from b&q £27.

All sorted now. Thanks for the help.

After a day noodling at home with this amp, I'm completely blown away by just how good it is!

The sounds are amazing.

I must say though, I've had to do so drastic eq change to get the lovely warm sounds I was after.

Firstly, I've set the gain a 12 o'clock as on some models you get intentional break up the further you turn the dial.

Then, I usually always use my bass (yamaha bb424x) in the both pick ups on and tone full on. For this ive had to roll a lot of the tone off, probably so its a quarter on.

Then eq on the amp wise I've got bass at 11 oclock. Mids at 7 o'clock (which really surprised me) and high at 1 oclock.

If you have the miss high, or tone full on on the bass, you get that echo like heftless mark bass tone. Hence I've eq'd it out.

The eq now works great across all the amp modules, and sounds amazing through my abm 2x10 (which again I didn't think would work We'll, but sounds great).

That's the set up for home solo sound. We'll have to see how the settings change in a band scenario.

I'm not sure if any one can change the title, but after a days playing with the new amp head, I'm going to keep the 2x10.

So, just the 115 combo for sale.

£295 is a very fair price for that.

Every start up band should have one!

£200-£300 for what was a pro rig 20 years ago is amazing value!

My first bass rig (not a trace) 20 years ago cost me £200 and was terrible!! New bands should be snapping these up.

Perhaps in another 10 years they'll hit 'classic status and prices will rocket again.

I've always found trace like ashdown. On their own not an inspiring sound. But with a band a great sound that just fits nice.

Me personally, my heavy lifting days are gone, but my markbass evo has a good trace emulator, so it's always there if I need it.

I've finally bitten the bullet and bought a mark bass evo 1.

Due to a back injury I'm having to sell my ashdown abm rig, so was looking for something a lot lighter and easier to carry. The side handle / arms out knuckle scraping on doorways days are hopefully a thing of the past!

There isn't that much info out there on these, but after about an hour in the shop I'd made my mind up.

A few first impressions:
1) it looks way cooler than I thought.
2) it's larger than I thought. It's more like a HI FI separate size. Much bigger than a lm3.
3) markbass eq takes a bit of getting used to. Set everything at 12 and your in trouble. Set everything at 6pm and slowly tweak from there and you'll soon get a great sound.
4) if you run this through a mb cab, you'll get a mb sound. I ran it through a few cabs of different makes, and the mb cabs really were colouring it.
5) the amp simulators are fantastic. Some of the high end bright ones were phenomenol.
6) it's really loud.
7) it's really easy to use.

I'm intending to match this with a barefaced super compact (do they do a 4 ohm version?) as I really like the weight and size of the barefaced and hear they match well with the markbass amps.

Gonna have a play and see what settings I can dial in to my tastes.

The cab combo is the bottom one. The ext cab and bass guitar are not included.

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]Love this rig to bits - cant explain how good it is.

The 1x15 combo gives a great sound. Nice and rich. The 2x10 ext cab adds great clarity to the mids.

The amp is 575w at 4ohm and around 300 at 8ohm. It has a valve pre amp for the lovely warm sound and grind when needed.

The EQ section is the best ive ever come across. The high mids are superb. The volume section is phenomenol. REAL watts, not class D little watts!

It also has ashdowns signature sub harmonic button if needed which really adds a roundness to the sound when used sparsely.

The VU meter allows you to accurately set the correct input levels too.

Also has a pre shape or flat button as well as a switchable eq section.

More buttons and options include di post/pre, fx sends, ext cabs and the rest.

More power and oomph than youll ever need.

Everything is in very very good condition.

Comes with wheels for ease of movement, and ashdown cover.

These are birch ply cabs, so build rock solid but much easier to lift than youd ever imagine.

You can also obviously just use this as the combo, or add the extension cab for the full rig effect.

Absolute bargain at £375 for this. This isnt the cheaper mag range - this is the pro ABM range and a steal at this price. [/size][/font][/color]
