bassmansky

no doubt it will get slagged off by the ashdown bashers

you need the vu needle to just clip the red now and again.it should not stay in the red.but make the needle move.i do take notice of mine as its on there for a reason, not just to look good.

i had a mia fender jazz and although a nice bass imo it was not worth the money i paid for it.i now play a squier 60's cv p-bass or a vintage p-bass and am happy with either.i would not splash the cash on a mia again.(not new anyway).

nows the time to buy one,£259 with compressor pedal.uk built as well.

secondhand trace elliot or ashdown

[quote name='phatbass787' post='615536' date='Oct 3 2009, 10:20 AM']Anyon spot this one aswell? Looks interesting. My credit card just twitched [/quote] that looks the dogs b######s

my abm 11 head has not missed a beat in the 18 months ive had it.so its a big thumbs up from me.you will not beat their customer service either.I certainly would not consider a different amp.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='606112' date='Sep 22 2009, 09:24 PM']Does that really mean anything these days?[/quote] Does to me

[quote name='EdwardMarlowe' post='599552' date='Sep 15 2009, 08:02 PM'] :thu: 99.9% of the average audience don't know a bass from a guitar, and the only people who really give a damn anyhow will be other musicians looking to make themselves feel better by doing down your choice of gear...[/quote] +1,thats exactly what ive found over the years

squier,either vintage modified or classic vibe series,both give a great sound and value for money as well.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='604947' date='Sep 21 2009, 08:44 PM']I used Ashdown for ages (although not any more) and good amps I say. But a lot of them are actually Chinese these days.[/quote] or american!still a british owned company though cant say that much these days!

Another ashdown fan!that must be at least ten on here now i never use the sub-harmonic on my amp because basically i cant tell the difference from when its on and when its off!According to the manual 'with the sub harmonic in, an octave below the notes being played are produced'.

[quote name='stevie' post='604767' date='Sep 21 2009, 05:47 PM']I wonder if you're maybe thinking of RCF.[/quote] oops yes i was ignore my previous post

RCL drivers are one of the best you can buy imo.i would think twice before changing that.

if i had tried the vmp-bass at the same time as the cv 60's p-bass i think i would have picked the vm,because it has a more fatter sound like a precision.probably due to the slightly fatter neck imo.Both great basses though

I bought a vintage p-bass off eubassix,(cheers dave)and gigged it for the first time last night and the quality of sound i got from this bass was amazing.nice and punchy with a lovely growl as well.this has got to be the best money ive ever spent!in the past i have tried fender highway one p-bass and mim p-basses and my vintage is certainly as good if not better than the fenders.so why pay out hundreds of pounds just for a "name" on the headstock when these cheapies are just as good!
