    Finally got chance to give the svt7 and 410hlf a blast in a proper setting and it was absolutely glorious. Rich, tasty and best of all it just sat lovely in every song. No harsh eqing, no volume boosts needed. Just knew where to be. Also, surprisingly I used the ultra lo, which I didnt think I would have to, and it really added to the sound. This is the same set up where the svt sounded pretty harsh and sterile using an ashdown cab, but really sounds different with the svt cab. Very happy!

    Great amps. I was very impressed with mine. Flat is: (in notches out of 10 - not oclock) Bass 2-3 Mids 10 Treble 0 Engage the limiter and brite.

    I've tried to do this for years with not much success. Closest I could get is to wind back the bass, up the mids and treble, and find a good bright amp and a punchy clear cab. And lozz's nail trick works well too.

    Still available. Bargains like this dont come up too often. The x8 speakers must be worth twice this on their own.

    I still love my Ashdown gear, and have the evo iv rc and 4x10 evo iv 410 cab, but we'll see what suits the new band best.

    Nice one Walshy! Yeh, I needed the cash so it was a case of what sold first, my hartke rig or the svt7. Luckily the hartke rig did, although i really was impressed with that. The svt7 is a completely different amp with the SVT cab. Honestly, completely different. I use to use jon Willis dr tonelab svt studio patch and an 8x10 sim which I slightly modified (just eq) and it really did sound great. The only thing I couldnt get right on the helix was the soft pillowy feel of the cab, but it sat in the mix very well. That's always been the problem with Ampeg - no one can accurately describe the sound, so it's impossible to model 100% - it's like a soft pillowy, growly punch, with loads of bottom end. Oh, and loads of top end. Oh, and loads of mids..... and its punchy, but not that punchy. And its rich, but not that rich. Slightly over driven but clean ....

    I picked up a lovely 410hlf. My svt7 pro just never impressed my through my Ashdown cab. (Well, it was good, but not Ampeg like). It sounded strong and punchy, but not warm and Ampeg like. So I tried it with a 410hlf - THATS the sound!! I knew it had to be a lot to do with the cab! The amp now sounds warm, punchy and has that slight Ampeg break up. It's not a singular note sound, more a constant link of notes, where theres no space in between notes, but still sounds clear. With the precision it just sounds classic. Well happy!

    Open to trades also if people are struggling to sell before buying.

    I got it at a bargain price, so hopefully someone will too...

    Fantastic beast of a bass cab. This is the Klystron model which was the top of the range from Ashdown. Its been well used. Has a fee rips and tears, which ive trimmed and coloured the wood, so it looks fine. It has great heavy duty wheels on it AND side handles AND a top carry / push bar. The absolute beast for bass players. The wheels, handles and bar make it a doddle to push around. The quality of the cab and speakers speak for themselves. Find any top band and theres one of these on stage - backline hire companies etc the list goes on and on. Please be awarr this is not a pristine cab. Do not buy if youre expecting an as new, un gigged cab. Any questions or more photos, just ask. I'll post photos of the tears etc later. I got this at a great price with the intention of using it - and then the band say we are going in ears - so I'll pass the bargain on to a bass chatter - just make an offer. I believe in karma, so I'll sell very cheap as its xmas. Absolite xmas bargain - these were £1300 new! Pick up only Leyland, Lancashire.

    My other rig has sold so this is now withdrawn.

    Will take £395 this week only if someone wants a special xmas bargain!

    RM also has a headphone socket and aux socket so he can play along to his favourite tracks without disturbing anyone too.

    I love this rig. Not had it long, bought used but in great condition. Unfortunately the gigging restrictions are taking its toll, and as my svt7 hasn't sold I'm having to try and sell this as well. See which sells first. Firstly the LH1000 is a genuine 1000w amp. Lovely sound. Very easy controls. A lot of people struggle because they set everything flat at 5 (12 noon), but flat is bass 3, mid 10, treble 0. Set like that with the brite and limiter on it sounds so full of character and power. The hydrive 4x10 is lovely. Very lightweight - mid 20s kg. Also has removable castors for easy moving. It has a real character to the sound, one which helped brighten up my tone. It's a lovely rig. Easy to move around and built to last. Also you can add another cab (if 8ohm) and theres a nifty balance knob on the amp so you can choose how much power you want to send to each cab. Ideal if adding a 2x10 or 1x15 - just adjust accordingly for perfect distribution. Great rig. Dont want to sell, but needs must, unless my svt sells first. Pick up Leyland, Lancashire.

    Cheers, I had sold the M18, so just wondered if there was a cheaper alternative. If not, the m18 looks a good option.

    Perfect! Is there any manual mixers that would allow us to take six individual unique mixes from that?

    Hi all, Our band is very loud. So I've decided to go IEM. I have the basschat classic P2 and zs10 pro. We play all over the place, so dont have the same sound people all the time, but I would like consistency over our monitoring, so I wondered if this existed.... When I used the RCF M18 it had the ability to let everyone via their own smartphone have full control over the monitor mix, without interfering with the sound guys mix (phones are just locked on monitor 1, 2 ,3 etc). Now, we cant use the M18 on our travels, as it relies on the sound guy knowing how to use it, so is there any way theres a magic xlr loaded box that will allow us to plug our xlrs (mics and Dis) into it, then send an out for each xlr to something like the M18 AND a send for each xlr to the sound guy. Then we would be able to control our stage sound or IEMs and leave the foh sound to the sound guy and his gear.

    Yes, my hartke flat is bass at 2, mids at 10 and treble 0.
  19. la bam
    ...... flat according to your amp then.
  20. la bam
    Years and years of tinkering and I discovered one answer.... Run everything flat. If not happy, then work out what each eq dial/slider does. If running flat gives a desperate feeling something is missing, then dial in from there. Only if essential.

    New amp/cabs

    la bam replied to Lozz196's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Looks class! Are they similar to the abm iv cab sound of the 4x10?

    Will take £450.

    I cant work out why Ashdown (direct) only have deals on their guitar stuff. I get they want to promote it etc, and I understand why not to have a black friday sale, but hammering bassists with ads for expensive guitar amps doesnt make much sense to me.
  24. la bam
    Ashdown - just disable/take out the pre shape. Then you've any tone you want at all.

    JT is a fantastic player and musician. To come up with those lines in the first place is brilliance. The little clips he put out in the summer were superb. Clearly shows how he evolved the songs with his rhythm section.
