@Happy Jackthat does not look like a BB2, nor is Matamp a subsidiary of Ashdown. To the best of my knowledge 🤣

To revive this thread, has anyone got a pic of an ABM 600 on a Barefaced Big Baby 2? Interested to see if it looks silly with the overhangs or whether its barely noticeable. Reason for asking: I have a BB2 and am pondering a powerful amp to match it (and ABM 600 is in the mix due to adulation on the forum). Thx in advance

Ollie bought a Markbass AC combo from me. All good. Quick payment, friendly comms. Can't ask for more!!!

Doesn't sound especially clean on this video (albeit I can see the Gain is set pretty high). But I hear you on the 'booty' front

Hi Ashdown peeps, any views on the LB550? Doesn't seem to have been massively popular (still selling them at reduced £550 sale price on Ashdown website), yet an LB30 valve front end coupled to a 550W digital amp sounds like a recipe for a serious Orange Terror Bass competitor?

Nope, a used (2019) fireglo 4003. Its a light one at 9.0 pounds, which solves one of my problems with my previous jetglo 4003 (which was the wrong side of 9.5 pounds). Now that I am more used to the vagaries of the 4003S, lets see if I can cope with the ergonomics of a 4003. We will see. Arrives tomorrow, hopefully

Enjoying it, played 2 gigs with it now and .... ermmmm .... might have accidentally ordered a 2nd Ricky

April 2022 and some time in 2012 (wearing zombie make up before you ask)

I believe they last for months if not years, based on what I have read. They are even lower tension than the flats at about 122 pounds per set vs 135 pounds, from memory. I have a set but my only issue is they need space to vibrate, being looser, and so the action has to be cranked up a bit (and the truss rod loosened). SO there is a bit of a trade-off between ultra low tension and higher action in my view

Bought a BF BB2 off Chris, who answered my Items Wanted ad. Could not have been more helpful. Many thanks!

Well, that's me told! Apologies if I offended, different strokes for different folks. Boring old world if we all had the same taste

Sorry, me too. Reminds me of the Jetsons and not in a good way

Followed up the above deal with an amp purchase. As before all good! 🍻

Wily Bo Walker Band (Bo is a Grammy-nominated, US 'blues hall of fame' inductee; I just thump along on bass in the background!)

Will get its first public airing at the Tuesday Night Music Club in Coulsden, Surrey at the end of May when its (lack of) weight will be wonderful for our two 45+ minute sets!

The Steve Harris also has a tuner which is very helpful, one less pedal to bring
