Two Neo Sica drivers for sale.

One is totally unused, 16ohm, Model Z006902. £50+ postage.

One is extremely politely used at low volume only in a combo, 8ohm. Model Z006900, £40+ postage.

They are basically the same driver (Z0069xx) just different impedance models. They’re the ones Ashdown used in their NEO range from about 10yr ago.

Theyre in proper speaker shipping boxes and will be packed well for safe transit.

indeed, good job their amps are better than the accuracy of their website! I’ve had similar experiences but all ended well once plugged in and playing instead of reading! Hope it goes well.
 

I’d also be interesting hear what you think of what looks like a peavey VIP / vyper amp?

thanks @Cosmo ValdemarI'll check i tout

Anyone know of anything like the Tecamp Bona Fide that is still being made?

What is rare about it is that it’s a bass amp that does full stereo amplification of L and R channels.

What’s out there? Thanks all.

For my fellow multi-effects junkies,

In case this hasn't been spotted yet, Zoom have added what looks like all their bass models to the G11. They are in V2 of the effects list, marked with a blue star.

Happy Friday

Would adding a switch for the 2nd cab's tweeter help?  In my experience one tweeter , if allowed to, can keep up with two woofers. You just switch off the tweeter in the bottom cab.

... I am no expert.

They don’t appear to have a tweeter so I was thinking they may be a bit dark, or at least lacking the crispness and clarity of a cab with a tweeter. 
What is the top end like??

thanks.

@nekomatic yep I can solder.

I love the woodwork, but crossovers hurt my brain 😁

 

This is the current state of my project

Wow that looks fantastic! Great work 👍

Immaculate condition and in the original box.

Very versatile bass distortion and overdrive.

Works as 3 individual gain pedals in one box.

Very low noise, very flexible. 
Now £150 including UK postage 

This is from the 2014 Neo range, the 1x15 combo.

The sales pitch from Ashdown is that it offers the ABM preamp with custom shop cab, neo drivers and a light weight  400w power amp.

I modified it by putting in a proper crossover which works a treat, crossing over at 3.5khz and fitted a switch for the horn.

It is easy to move, practically unused and pretty much delivers on Ashdown’s promise of a portable, powerful combo.

price is £300.
 

Pickup is preferred but if you want to organise a courier to collect it for you I am happy to hand it over to them in strong packaging.

Also, I am in South Northumberland but can deliver most places within even a few hours drive of Newcastle if you pay in advance and cover fuel costs.

Thank you

i built it, sourcing parts from Thomann and Aliexpress. 

The case Is made of cheap 12mm plywood from the diy store

a lot of sanding (sadly not enough), one coat of sealer and two coats of black paint. 
i glued some fabric on the inner sides. 

 

Excellent work!

have a Class A/B Ashdown ABM600 and a Class D Ashdown RM500. In rehearsal rooms or on small stages I don’t really notice any difference, but once you get onto the much bigger stages there’s a greater depth to the sound of the ABM.

Both are great amps but the Eq on them is different. The RM  heads bass dial boosts lows at 100hz, ABM at about 50hz, so there’s an octave more depth there. That may be what you’re hearing.

If the cabs are right any amp class can work very well. 
Look at any PA rig for proof.

Many class D bass rigs include compact cabs too, which soak up the big power rating of the head.

Extension cab mutes the internal cab. A strange design decision.

Price is better than I’d expect.

Weight of the 210 is ok, but all going through that one handle? I’d prefer side handles too.

I’ll probably get one… really do like Roland / Boss for bass. My 400w 210 D’Bass was fantastic (why did I ever get rid??). If they did a 300w class AB head I’d have already placed an order!

I get the impression some of the big hitters are realising a pipeline of gear that was held back by covid. Exciting times for us gear geeks:) 

Very high quality preamp here with switchable, blendable FX loop, 2 channels (one of which can be used as aux in) Eq and DI.

Runs great on a standard 9v boss pedal supply and can take up to 15v. 

Bought here recently, no issues that I can find at all. Supplied in mint condition with all packaging.

£150 posted.

Great little Multi FX and  amp modeller unit for bass, with USB interface, Aux in& phones out. 

Easy to use, sounds great. 

Mint and with all  original packaging and a Boss power supply.

SOLD

My worst ever amp was, I’m sorry to say, an underpowered Laney combo, I think it was called a BC120. It was 1x15  120w and I was asking too much of it back in my uni band. I knew nothing about amplification at all, just that it fit in my room and could be carried to wherever I was playing. I should have paid more for a better amp!

I’ll admit that I’ve not studied the entirety of this thread, but are there any manufacturers who are conspicuously absent ?? Seems like everyone from Mesa to Marshall and Ampeg to Ashdown have been named and shamed… which makers have escaped our wrath?? 
 

Thanks. It’s a shame, that would have been the icing on the cake. 

Looks awesome. Can it be used as a usb audio interface to record ??

Great pedal

I had the atomic amplifire 6, a slightly different proposition admittedly, but it it certainly sounded as good as anything else I’ve tried. 
I’m a serial pedal flipper and would certainly give the bass box a go based on the quality of the amplifire, which is of course designed for guitar but could be made to sound great on bass too as it had the SVT model.
