Crikey!

i had an L2000 which i sold to buy the SUB. I think a normal Ray may be the way, but im not sure i can afford it... trying to think of what i can sell.

hi, I recently traded my EBMM SUB stingray on here for a Fender Precision. The reason I had to move on from the SUB is the slab body causing problems with a rib injury. After getting the Precision i found it instantly more comfortable to play. The body is just the right size, its a nice weight, the neck is perfect and it sounds amazing BUT i'm missing the stingray bite. So what i'm after is suggestions for a compromise. I'm not interesting in modding the Precision and ive only got a little bit of money to play with on top of whatever i can sell the Precision for. I started looking at SUBs and then remembered why i got rid of mine to start with, so thats out. Any suggestions appreciated, and if anybody has anything for sale that might do the job, feel free to PM me. Cheers Ben

I use my ABM every night without fail, its a brilliant cab and i prefer it to ampeg 810s any day. However, it lives in the van between gigs, its easy enough to get in and out of the van on your own and wheel it about, but stairs will need 2 people. It will fit in a ford focus, but if you care about keeping the paint on it, you're gona have trouble. The general method of 810 loading is to tip it up against the van bumper and lever it up and in to the back, wouldnt advise doing that in to a car. Saying that, the ashdown does have handles on the side where the ampeg doesnt... which is very handy. id say for that price, do it IF its gona be used regularly in big venues, you wont be loading it by yourself and you have somewhere to store it. If not, its gona be a pain, you'll end up hating the thing and selling it on pretty soon.

Anybody know if the Tiny Terrot (guitar) flightcase will fit bass terror? Looks like a bass terror flight case is more than double the cost of the guitar one... and im not gona be happy having this little thing rolling around the back of the van for months on end without a flightcase.
