[quote name='The Burpster' post='173693' date='Apr 10 2008, 09:42 AM']Old strings ? when did you change them last? Has it always done it or started just recently? Do you have adjustable pole pups?[/quote] the strings are what was on the bass when i bought it in january new,it has just started but only on my main set up not my practice amp.seems a bit strange to me,oh and i have adjusted pups slightly as well.

wonder if anyone has had the same problem.i play a fender j bass through a ashdown 500 evo11 with a ampeg 4x10 he cab.on the d string the further i play up the neck the quieter the sound gets especially on the 10 th fret yet when i played through my practice amp it seemed ok.any ideas?

[quote name='budget bassist' post='170333' date='Apr 5 2008, 05:12 PM']I don't think they have any in stock but ya know, i'll try. And it's ampeg china, says everything really. f***ing chinese build quality.[/quote] glad my ampeg is american!probably not selling so much gear now after shipping away from usa,but you cant get much made outside of china nowadays!

[quote name='bassicinstinct' post='169627' date='Apr 4 2008, 09:21 AM']So can I. I have used Ashdown exclusively since 1999 for gigs/rehearsals/recording an average of 3 - 4 times per week and have never had any issue of any sort with the ranges I have used (ABM, MAG and, currently, Superfly).[/quote] im going to buy a500 evo11 or a klystron head as theres some good deals at the moment.some say that theres no differance in the two apart from the price!
-
heard a few stories about the newer models of the abm range not being as reliable as the older ones anyone had any experience of this?

[quote name='man_at_arms84' post='156941' date='Mar 13 2008, 07:16 PM']Indeed. They dont make much bass stuff, but I got these two cabs Custom made to my spec for me by them earlier this year. And they're fab.[/quote] never heard of them before.
-

[quote name='nash' post='156284' date='Mar 12 2008, 07:34 PM']orange high end hiwatt? some marshall DHA[/quote] peavey cabs?no probably china!
-
just heard that marshalls mb range is made in india and it got me thinking that apart from the top of the range ashdowns is there any other equipment actually made in this country.years ago we were spoilt for choice h/h,wem,carlsbro etc.
-
thanks for all that,i got a trace 300w 1x15 combo which sounds good but you hear people say that a seperate head with a cab or cabs makes a better sound.perhaps i need to try another cab with mine first before i decide.very tempted with the ashdown though,nearly all traces about are combos.
-
anyone got an opinion on the ashdown abm evo11 3oow head.theres a few about for a good price.wondered if they had a sound similar too a trace?also any ideas on the best value for money cabs,1x15 and 2x10.

[quote name='Ray' date='Jan 28 2008, 01:16 PM' post='129247'] I've finally got round to selling my Trace Elliot 7215 combo. I bought it new around 1997/98. I'm pretty sure it's a pre-Gibson model (the one without built-in compression). The speaker does tend to cut out and crackle from time to time. I've checked the speaker connections and they seem fine. The same thing happened a few years ago. Took it to my local music shop and they repaired it for £50. Turned out it was a dry joint in the amp. It's been well gigged so it's a little shabby but it's a great sounding amp. I have the original user guide and I think I have the original box somewhere too. I would prefer collection but delivery (at buyers cost) could be arranged depending on location. Any offers? Cheers, hi,has the amp got the vinyl or the greeny carpet covering?also has it 2 port holes,cheers tony.
