The Ashdown founder was actually the Trace Elliot founder More love for Ashdown from me too. I have the RM500 EVO II. Love it to bits

yep, lots of love for short scales here My main is JMJ Mustang but I also have two hofner violin basses now I started on short scale basses in 1981 and bought my first Violin bass in 2012. They are now my main instruments lighter, easy to play as they are shorter and the athritis likes them too

wow a custom shop one, bet that was a few quid!! I would play it it with a pick probably, if I go that way

I watched it. It was quite enjoyable. I liked the background music. The characters were good too. People who write this stuff dont understand the music industry so I take it for what it is. All in all we enjoyed it

looks fab

no mate, that's just normal!!

IIRC the victim would have been given a large payout from the newspaper for a conviction. I think this was also a reason the judge cited for throwing the case out. Either way he's a disgrace and despicable

I supported the Glitter band in about 1988/89. They were superb

Me too lol Don't like the antiga one they've released. Dont like blocks on maple

very nice, very george benson, lovely feel too

the music and concept was great he is an evil man and as someone has already said, hiding in plain sight despicable

Cool. Ill follow this i think

ah I see. The holes are in the f/board and the neck, (in the words of Dave Lamb) CLEVER I've heard of people drilling tiny holes through the fingerboard to the neck and using those as locating holes (under the dot markers I think)

@Andyjr1515 how do you know the fingerboard will go back the exact correct place please (I have a cheap Vintage Geoff Whitehorn signature guitar that the truss rod socket is knacked and I would like to change the truss rod myself, without breaking the bank. It's a biflex rod btw) cheers

because of my 80s duo, in effect a silent stage, I had a behringer 205 tiny monitor. This really helped my singing, as I could monitor at a lower level. Then came the IEM which made it better again. They've made me a much better singer to the point that I would rather sing than play bass. As i've carried the iem into bands I play with, it has improved my bass playing as I can actually hear what I'm playing, I hit the strings not so hard which makes my playing more dynamic, as I have somewhere to go if I need more volume. My bass sounds great in my ears, more inspiring to play. I suppose that I am lucky, the KZ fitted my ears and gave me a good working system with the P2 all in under 100 quid. I now use the MI-Pro 58 wireless kit, which works brilliantly and sounds fab and obviously is wireless. All brought about by a tinnitus issue that I don't want to get worse. The information on this thread, with the input of you excellent Basschatters has changed my world and if I win the lottery, I'll send you a few sheckles

oh my god!! Really? I have to check this out

I am totally loving the IEM experiance and will not play without them from now on. I recently did a gig using my Hofner CT500/1 violin bass and it sounded wonderful in my ears. Using KZ and sonic foam tips is working perfectly too, maybe I'm lucky. The bands that I work with are all IEM too except one, which does one big outdoor gig a year, all into the PA so I just set my own IEM up and they use floor monitors and again it works for me. As a guitarist I understand that loud is great, it helps with getting your guitar to feedback and resonate better but in my duo (80s) I have to put up with the fact I can't get that experience, so I just play round that problem.

no I don't think so. It was a vallentines present to her, I think she still loves me😅

leave it then mate

this is why I now use Ashdown gear. A british company with astounding customer service

I imported one from japan in 2008, for my wife. An excellent bass it is too. She still has it but it's been unplayed since her Bravewood arrived 11 years ago

agreed!!🤣

I really like my RM500 and I like the Ashdown ethos. The amp is simple to use and get a good sound from so I presumed the preamp pedal would be good. It sounds great in my practice room and at some point I was going to A/B with the RM, both into my desk and then to my IEMs to see if there's much difference
