  1. Can't make head nor tail of the measurements stated on that link. What is 3.973 or 4.100. ?? The pickups in my SB315 are both 95mm ? Ok. No worries GLWTS.

  3. Can you let me have the exact measurements of these please. If possible I would like to install them In a SGC Nanyo bass collection SB315 Cheers.
  4. [quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1493979671' post='3292292'] I would have seconded DBerriff's suggestion, but if that's a bit too spendy, suggest getting a less expensive smaller cab. Appreciate your wish for something complete, but buyinng a combo will mean you are spending money on duplicating your amplification, which will use up budget needlessly. A nice used 1x12 neo isn't going to weigh a lot or take up a lot of space and your Genz is hardly heavy. [/quote] Mark Bass 121H traveler is nice and light and packs a decent punch too at 500w.
  5. Had the RH450 for a spell and found it gutless so got rid and bought a Mark Bass LMIII. All good so far
  6. FFS !!! I have been looking for one of these to come up for sale for months and as soon as I bloody order one and pay for it this appears. GLWTS.
  7. [quote name='Ashdown Engineering' timestamp='1493393107' post='3288057'] Whats the 2x10? Nearly every 2x10 cab we've ever made has been 8 Ohm... [/quote] +1 for the 2x10 cab Ohm rating. I've never seen an Ashdown 2x10 cab that is not 8 ohms
  8. [quote name='Rich' timestamp='1493065454' post='3285387'] [b]It Bites[/b]. Four years, three fabulous studio albums, and then gone. (nb. Not counting the later reform version, good though it was.) [/quote] +1 for IT BITES. Great band (Early Line up with Frank) Written some superb music
  9. I'm not sure if the later stuff are manufactured in China or just assembled there.
  10. If It's made in China it usually says ' Made in PRC' on the back. Not sure when this happened. I'm sure somebody reading this thread will chip in with the relevant info
  11. +1 for a Peavey 2x10" cab or similar. You can pick them up for peanuts and they sound great. Or take T-Bay's advice and wire your stuff up to the mains LOL
  12. Mark Bass combos are powerful and light. I went down a similar route as I suffer back problems. I now have a Markbass LM III 500w head which fits into a small gig bag. And Markbass light weight cabs, 1x12" traveler 400w and Standard 2x10" 400w. Much kinder on my back and powerful too. A Fender 100w Rumble is ok for small gigs and home use. IMO
  13. [quote name='Merton' timestamp='1491722809' post='3274924'] My ABM head cost £140 including VAT last year, but it needed all the pots replaced, a couple of jack sockets and all the board interconnects as it has sat unused for almost 17 years and basically got dusty/tarnished. [/quote] That's a good price to have all that work done. I've done my own Ashdown Abm before but nothing major. Just removed the fans and hoover all the fluff and dust out. A bit of switch cleaner on the pots and good to go.
  14. +1 For Jack's Instrument Services in Manchester. Great guys.
  15. If you already have plenty of active basses I'd keep the Jazz Passive. Can't beat that old school plug straight in and play Passive Jazz sound. IMO
  16. Been using Abm since 2000 when I bought my 500w 4x10 combo and 1x15 Cab. Only sold it because it was too heavy. Bought smaller separate Abm cabs and head and still have a beaten up pre Evo ABM 500w 2x10 Combo. Replaced the separates with Markbass LMIII and lighweight cabs but still have a Rackmount ABM 500 watt head coz I just love the sound they kick out.
  17. I think the last two digits of the serial number are the year of manufacture so yours would be 2008.
  18. Another heads up for Dave Lunt Stockport. He's just fixed my poorly Ashdown Abm rackmount bass head. Turned it round in less than 24 hours. When I went to collect the amp he fixed my SGC Nanyo bass collection active circuit board whilst I waited. I can't sing his praises enough he's my go to Amp and guitar tech.
  19. [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1491827090' post='3275624'] Probably a dry solder joint or a live short circuit (signal path contacting signal path) Does it change if you jolt the bass with the heel of your palm? [/quote] Hi Just spotted this. Had this fixed by John Diggins about Two years ago. All is well with the Series III now thank you
  20. Bought a rack case from Mark. well packed, great communication & generally great guy to deal with. Would not hesitate to deal with Mark again in the future.
  21. Bought a Rackmount Ashdown ABM bass amp from Steve. Unfortunately unknown to him it was faulty. Took it to Dave Lunt Amp technician to repair it and when I phoned Steve to let him know how much it was going to cost he refunded my Paypal account straight away. Can't fault the guy. Communication and co-operation throughout. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again. Credit to Basschat.
