[quote name='blablas' timestamp='1491093476' post='3270507'] Thanks. (I think ) Too bad it has already changed quiet a bit since this picture was made (the chain order and removed and added some pedals), still waiting for a Chowny Fuzzster to complete the latest version, once it's in I'll post an updated picture. [/quote] ive got the Fuzzster! very very nice fuzz!!

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1493113555' post='3285640'] Mine has showed April dates since preorder but just keeps being pushed back, currently 28th April expected stock day. You ordered sometime after me so may be different batches, but either way I really hope it arrives in the next few days. [/quote] Mine first said that then got an email update to say it would be in early may

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1493075020' post='3285472'] On my order history as the expected stock date. I know that But again, its frustrating that another smaller UK store has already had and sold out of their stock and my unit that has been preordered since March isn't even in the country yet. I know it may not be their fault (if they delayed paying for their order for some reason it will be), but I just get irked when preorders ship late. Defeats the point entirely! I wont do it again and thus wont moan again [/quote] It's says 2nd of may on the email I had not had another one to say a change so hoping after the bank hols

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1493045868' post='3285155'] Expected date at Andertons pushed back again... [/quote] where have you heard this from? again they can only send it out once they have it.

[quote name='Westenra' timestamp='1493050599' post='3285199'] Probably missing the obvious as I'm still gassing for a Boss-ES but can the two outputs be one with effects and the other without? Thinking of getting a gigrig three2one so I can plug my synth and bass into the same Boss-ES input but would like to have my synth output going into the effects loop (with all the effects) while my dry bass which does go through the ES can go into the front of the amp. Possible? [/quote] totally mate you dnt even need the 321 if your playing one at a time you can just use both inputs on the es8, i send all my effects to my ctm and send nothing to the abm so you can split that way. so you would just make preset for your synth and bass its an awesome thing the es!

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1492965319' post='3284452'] two vertical stacks? [/quote] no bottom 4 and top 4

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1492949574' post='3284291'] Interesting, how do you plug them both in? Been wanting to do a clean/dirty rig for a while now! [/quote] It's all split using my es8, output 1 goes to dirty ctm 100, the output 2 goes into a humdinger from gigrig so I have an isolated out with a phase switch and then out to the clean amp. Both run all the time each into a 410

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1492952016' post='3284310'] Surely you need a 2nd 810 and just run them both all the time? [/quote] Nope I've split the 810 internally so the two inputs on the back each go to a 410.

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1492948076' post='3284277'] Nice rig, how do you change between each head however? [/quote] I can switch via the es-8 if needed but to be honest both heads are live all the time!

So recently got the ABM 500 so began thinking of ways to split the rig! ended up being alot easier than i thought! remembered i had a gigrig synco synco 5 way patch bay and also a gigrig humdinger which has a phase switch and an isolated out so combined those with the es8 and clean dirty setup is go! all my effects go into the ctm-100 and the abm is just clean, pushing the compression up on the amp and a bit of pre amp grind from the valve. both heads go into my 810 which ive split so now is two 8 ohm 410's with a custom lead ill get made up so i can use both cabs with one head.

Finally got the dual rig going last night! [URL=http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/andybassist/media/634C98A8-B1C1-47F0-A764-99629259C692_zpsivb3mi5s.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah176/andybassist/634C98A8-B1C1-47F0-A764-99629259C692_zpsivb3mi5s.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1492757127' post='3282866'] John Stockman Goliath playthrough with Alpha/Omega: [media]http://youtu.be/nm7e9zN9eLc[/media] [/quote] Super excited for this now! Took them long enough to get John to play it!

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1492698027' post='3282462'] Shan't be using Andertons again! Pre-ordered weeks ago and they still don't have initial stock. [/quote] in fairness mate they cant help it if they are further back in the order than some ppl. just makes me more excited to get it! i can wait another week or two. Andy

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1492467051' post='3280566'] Congrats, as a pretty recent convert to Ashdown I`m loving my ABM rig. [/quote] Can't wait till next week to plug them in together!

think this alongside my Ctm-100 should sound pretty nice!

Got this two add as a second clean amp in my rig Can't wait to fire it up!

[quote name='JimBobTTD' timestamp='1492420142' post='3280025'] I can't really hear much of a difference there. I would think that any difference would be inaudible as soon as other instruments kicked in. Thanks for the vid! [/quote] totally agree, close mic'd like this you might hear something but in a live context i actually think the cog octaves, even the oc-3 dare i say sound not to far away. love the Oc2 Octave i have and its a keeper but for live use it would take something special to take the T70 of.

I've seen a lot of players using the octaves recently so wondered if there is a big difference between them but what do you guys think? Was able to borrow a octaver of a fellow bassist for this demo. https://youtu.be/eveBwMRqq2s

Gotta say these two are both great choices! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO0OD7XpQAU"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO0OD7XpQAU[/url]

[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1491643885' post='3274488'] I'm sometimes surprised by Scott Devine and Janek Gwizdala's use of "clickbait" in their video titles. Both are highly knowledgable, articulate, talented people with much to offer bass students, but this seems at odds with the rather cheap methods they employ to attract attention to their videos. I realise they are business men with a product to promote in a competitive market place, but it feels a bit cringeworthy and populist. Some examples: Devine: Ultimate hack for learning and using the modes (does he mean "method"?) How to play bass fast. 5 ultimate tips Master the entire fingerboard with these 5 simple shapes Gwizdala: A street dog that will melt your heart Practicing (sic) with the TV on. Good or bad? Taking divorce one day at a time (A video with much useful info about bass and music and a brief, sensitive discussion about the end of Janek's relationship - why did he give it this title?) Gwizdala also seems particularly fond of filming himself constructing and even shopping for, flat-pack furniture. Please note: I am not criticising or complaining, just stating my personal reaction and hopefully prompting some discussion. It doesn't really matter anyway! [/quote] Yaneks posts are mostly bass related but rem its vlog, so it follows him on what he does during the day. i dnt wanna see him practice everyday

Anyone on here go yesterday? Was a properly cool day trip to Birmingham for me, and getting to see Juan and nick was super inspiring.

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1492025268' post='3277334'] The Cali comes up a lot. One to look at. What about a SuperSymetry? Any recommendations for this style of playing with notes driven from the left hand and as a consequence, a volume discrepancy between hammer-ons and pull-offs and strong/weak fingers? (I know my technique should be better - don't judge me.) [/quote] Not played the dg but from videos it's more transparent than the Cali, I like what it does to the sound but some dnt. No judging here, like I said that's a compressors job to level bring down the spikes and raise up the lower notes, the dg and Cali both have blend controls so you can also keep the dynamics of your playing

Puts into context how much money we can waste on stuff that matters so much less, doesn't it! [/quote] ok so you got me thinking! about finance mainly ive got a shocking record due to issues with a employer last year so it gets turned down alot, however andertons :-) i can totally afford 30 quid a month for a few months no trouble so A/O is on the way as soon as andertons get them in stock!
