    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.

    Mark Bass 121H traveler is nice and light and packs a decent punch too at 500w. ;)

    Whats the 2x10? Nearly every 2x10 cab we've ever made has been 8 Ohm...

    +1 for the 2x10 cab Ohm rating. I've never seen an Ashdown 2x10 cab that is not 8 ohms :huh:

    Four years, three fabulous studio albums, and then gone. (nb. Not counting the later reform version, good though it was.)

    +1 for IT BITES. Great band (Early Line up with Frank) Written some superb music ;)

  4. 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 ;)

  5. 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

    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.

    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. ;)

  7. 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. ;)

  8. 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. B)

    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?

    Hi Just spotted this. Had this fixed by John Diggins about Two years ago. All is well with the Series III now thank you ;)

  10. 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. :D
