    [quote name='Machines' post='172900' date='Apr 9 2008, 10:13 AM']I like to think of Ashdown as a bit like the Alfa Romeo of the bass world ;).[/quote]
    :) There speaks an Alfisti! I have had no problems with my ABM EVOII combo or cab, but I bet I've put a bloody curse on it now! Me Alfasud however, was on the whole, a pile of sh*te! Except both times it worked. :huh:

    +2. And he nails backing vox at the same time.

    [quote name='Scoop' post='171106' date='Apr 7 2008, 01:14 AM']Dunlops are good but if they fail you're screwed, seriously screwed. With the schaller design if the lock fails then at least the strap button is sitting in a support cup and won't allow your bass to simply plummet to the deck.[/quote]
    Absolutely true. Unless the cup has turned upside down due to the nut coming loose. :huh: I might just go back to Grolsch tops & gaffa... :)

The bloke who runs the e-shop is a nice chap too.

    Good luck, John.

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='168575' date='Apr 2 2008, 05:19 PM']why do the people with no money get all this luck?[/quote]
    I thoroughly agree - I just thought about buying a Bacchus Jazz 5er, the boiler packed in then the coil springs and head gasket went in the motor. ;) Final cost - just slightly more than the Bacchus would have been. :)

    Good luck with the Trace Kev :huh:

    In the meantime, try to use the room acoustics in your favour by taking advantage of wall or corner reinforcement wherever possible.

    +1. Eg - I have a 2x10 combo that doesn't quite cut it live - the volume is there, but no "fullness" - now there's a word. When I add another 2x10, it fills the room, even at the same perceived volume level. Oh, and it's an ABM! And indeed - chuck it in the corner!

    John.
