Just Bought a Status strap off David. Came all the way from Hungary. Only took a few days and his communication was spot on. Bargain price and strap looks brand new. Well pleased with my purchase Cheers David.

Great thread. I took my RH450 head out today to rehearsal (Not used it for a few months) I noticed that the control knobs were falling off, three of them anyway. When I looked inside the knobs I noticed the little fins that grip the shaft of the potentiometer had broken and thus not gripping onto the shaft. I need to obtain some replacements from TC. Just wondering how long it will be before my buttons start showing signs of cracks and how easy it is to get new ones from TC ??

8x10 and 4x10.??? I bet you'd need a bloody step ladder to reach the amp. Some serious window rattling rig you got there. Good luck with the sale type bump

There is a valve in there too. Surprised Dave wasn't forthcoming with help re the horn.
I've used him many times and can't recommend him enough.

where have the pics gone ??

Any chance of some more pics?

Is this one of the budget Tanglewood made Overwater basses?

Or this one. Used to be my bass.[attachment=140444:IMG_2816.JPG][attachment=140445:IMG_2820.JPG] Good luck with the sale

Thanks for the advice guys.
When I bought my first Ashdown rig (ABM 4x10" 500w combo coupled to an ABM 1X15" 300w cab)
back in 2000 they fitted Celestion speakers. But now they use these Blue Line drivers which
to be honest don't sound as good. I'm sorry I sold my combo and cab as the sound out of these
compacts are lacking a bit. Might try an Eminence 15" driver and see what happens.

Hello fellow chacebatters I am currently using two Ashdown ABM compact cabs and I'm disappointed with the sound I'm getting from the standard Blueline drivers. They are the 1x15" 300w and 2x10"+H 300w. I'm thinking of replacing the drivers with Eminence, Fane or Celestion. Any suggestions ???. I sold my Abm 2x10" 500w combo and ABM 1x15" with Celestions in to buy these two cabs and to be honest they don't come near soundwise. I'm using them coupled to an ABM Evo II 500w head. They just don't have that thud I used to get with the combo and separate 1x15" cab. (It was an old pre Evo combo)

Does your keyboard player want to join a Cheshire based function band with a less hectic gigging schedule??
We are looking for an experienced keyboard player to play pretty much what you are doing but probably more soul songs.

Surprised this is still here BUMP

Experienced sax player (T or A) urgently required to complete the line up of 8 piece

Another heads up for SGC Nanyo bass collection. Mine is the SB110 series Active pickups.
Gotoh hardware. Light as a feather and lovely slim, fast neck.
Bought for about £150 from memory. Bloody lot of bass for the money and gives my
USA Fender Jazz a run for it's money. I think these where about £400+ when new.

Take off the control cavity cover and spray wd40 over the circuit board and under it where the switches and rotaries are.

WD 40 !!! would switch cleaner not be better ???

No. You set the input level just below the point at which the input clips when you play at your loudest (does your amp have an input clip light?) and then use the output volume to set the overall volume of the amp.

The amp doesn't have a clip light it has a vu meter which to be honest is not that accurate.

I Have an Ashdown ABM evoII 500 head.
I have always been under the impression that you have to have your output level control (Post)cranked up higher
that your input level control (Pre) to drive the internal power amp.
I normally set my input/pre control at 9 o'clock and my output/post control at 12 o'clock.
But recently I was watching a dvd of Graham Gouldman (10cc) using the exact same head.
He had his input level set at 3 o'clock and his output level set at 9 o'clock would this not damage the amp ???

Hello. Can I just point out that this is a 300w cab and not 500w as stated in your heading.
I had the exact same cab up until recently. It says on the back ABM-115-500 but it is 300w
they did two the ABM-115-300 94db and the ABM-115-500 98db but both are 300w.
I have a catalogue from when these were made and the spec is : 300w continuous 600w programme. 8ohms 98db.
