    Ahh, actually the bridge hum is still there. Touch it and it stops. But it's only there when the middle pick up is engaged.

    Hi all, I have a burns bison bass. It seems to have 2 major issues. Firstly there are 3 single coil pickups which can be switched to use either the first and third or first, second and third. When using first and third there is no hum at all. When bringing on the second there is big hum if you let go of the strings and massive hum if you touch the pickup, which I do as it's right where my fingers go. It also had a hum issue with the bridge, but I've soldered the wire to the bridge (it was just resting) and that seems to have sorted that. So, does anyone have any ideas of how to eliminate the second pickup hum? Thanks in advance.

    Hartke LH1000

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

    The l1000 (I'm not sure about the 500) has a preamp valve which sounds nice and warm. The real trick is to read about how the tone stack works properly. Settings for flat are not (out of 10) bass 5, mid 5, treble 5, but instead bass 3, mid 10, treble 0. That gives a great starting point. I can see how others may have struggled if they used everything at 5,5,5 perhaps even 7,5,7 in a band setting. I fully expected to rig the rm500 up and it be close enough for me to keep with the l1000 that I would keep the rm500. But it really did sound a lot thinner and drier (understandably). I suppose it's different amps for different people, but this works for me with the hydrive cab.

    Fingers crossed they do something with the new neos Lozz, can only see guitar deals from them at the moment.

    If the 2x10s together sounded identical to the 410 evo iv cab, I'd be interested. I gave the 410 a good run out with the abm600 and it gets better and better the more you push it.

    Hartke LH1000

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

    Yeh, it really surprised me Lozz. It's a really really nice sound through the hydrive 410 cab. The RM (to be fair at least 10kg lighter) really sounded weak next to it. I cant comment on how the lh1000 does in a band setting yet though.

    I've A/B against my RM500 and the difference is night and day. A real full richness across the frequency. It makes the RM sound thin and fragile. Bass at 3, mids full on at 6, treble at 0 - pretty much flat, sounds awesome. Yes, its heavy compared to a class d, but the difference in sound is massive. I'm really shocked to see you can get these for around £350 new!!

    I had it into an 8ohm ashdown 410 at practice with a blisteringly loud band and it didnt need to go past half way in a big room! But it's there if you need it. Just means you have loads of good clean headroom.

    Hi all, Selling my Ampeg SVT7 pro 1000 watt amp. Superb condition with rack ears too. This is the coveted Rev C00 with the H revision board. Great SVT sound in a lightweight 7kg package.

    Hi all Managed to get hold of one of these used this week for certain gigs (overnight stays and the more rougher / lively ones etc) when we get gigging where I dont want to take my full rig. I wasnt expecting a great deal, just a decent useable sound. Well, talk about impressed! The reviews I've read kind of implied it was quite bland etc, but it really isnt. It's quite a rich sound. Using the eq as per manual and discussion it really seems to deliver. Has anyone gigged with these amps? How did you find them in the mix etc? Also, picked up a hydrive 410 for the same type of gigs. There really must be some bad info out there online - I was expecting a massive heavy cab. Some sites suggesting 35kg etc - it's nowhere near that! I'd guess it's around 25-27kg max.

    Theres another icon appeared, looks to me to be very Quilter style type eq knob, which I loved.

    Nice one Lozz! I have the rack version - love it. It may sound weird too, but I've found putting the 3 right of mid sliders near fully up gives it a real valve amp sound somehow. I need to test that in a band setting.
  15. la bam
    Definitely tempted by the new neo cabs too.

    For me, it's the Ashdown ABM600 evo iv. So much power. So much versatility. And a nice manageable weight too. Best advice I got was spend time learning what each eq slider does, and give it a name for easy reference. Was so interesting to see that the 100hz slider induces so much more what we call 'bass' than the actual bass knob. You can make the amp sound however you want, and easily adjust the sliders for a quick on stage fix. The preshape (for me) definitely needs turning off (button IN) and then it really opens up.

    Cheers, forgot about that, thanks.

    Cheers Lozz, Fantastic amp. I've no problem at all keeping it if it doesnt sell.

    Open to offers. Delivery now possible.

    Could probably deliver/meet up if fairly local.

    There must be something in the cab or combination of head and cab though. I've used a rehersal room 8x10 and it really was great. Rubbish on it's own, but great in the mix. Sounded great with the svt3 they had. Yet the svt3 through another cab was nowhere near as impressive. The only way I can describe the cab was kind of dull but punchy. Kind of punched through, when it didnt sound like it would be able to. Theres no way I want to move one around though.

    Interesting here.... Dino explaining how ampeg classic cabs have stamped framed baskets which move with the speaker giving a much warmer sound, rather than a more defined sound.
