    No need to apologise - appreciate your help

    Thanks for the recommendation, I spotted those and they did look like good value and pretty much what I was expecting in terms of price. Only problem is I wanted angled head at both ends.

    Hi Guys I was expecting to be able to get a load of replacement pedal power cables (male - male right angled) easy and cheap. Either I’m searching the wrong thing or these are a little harder to come by than I imagined. For a single cable it’s around £3 - £6. It’s almost worth buying a cheap power supply just for the cables. can anyone recommend any inexpensive sites where I can pick these up? Or is the price ‘the price’! cheers Alex

    Ashdown double shot overdrive pedal. pretty much as new (30 mins home use tops). Prefer my jptr fx jive pedal - so this one doesn’t make the board. Not a lot of info online about these online, but here’s Ashdowns video:

    Sold Chris a chorus pedal. Fast payment & superb comms throughout. Thanks

    Yep it did sound great. First time I’ve heard it through a cab with a tweeter too & the top end sounded great! May end up regretting selling that one! They have such a distinctive sound and are instantly recognisable. I liked to scoop the mids slightly and boost the bass. I’d also knock off a bit of the treble with new strings to get rid of the clank

    Lozz just bought my MM Stingray bass. Thoroughly nice chap and a pleasure to deal with. I hope you enjoy the bass.

    Yeah, I was really surprised. The stage was completely open though in a field. I’m trying to recall if I’ve ever played a completely open stage before and whether it was the same. The drummer is a reasonably loud hitter too. Maybe it was too hot for him today and he took it easy!

    Going back to volume, I played an outdoor gig today with only vocals and kick drum going through the Pa. Barely needed any volume for my 2x15 cabs to keep up. This surprised me, I guess this is due to it being completely out in the open & nothing for the drum sounds to bounce off? im normally around 10 o’clock-ish here’s my settings (input gain about 3 o’clock)

    Chorus on hold

    Am I the only one not bothered by the fans 🤷

    A few pedals for sale EHX octave multiplexer £45 ammoon nano chorus £15 *SOLD* Spartan music tuner £15 - this tuner is licensed to lots of different companies, so you may see the same tuner with a different maker - it’s the same tuner. all pedals have or have had Velcro on bottom

    For sale is my Hartke HA5500. I switched to an Ashdown ABM a couple of years ago & decided to keep this as a backup. Problem is, it’s heavy for a backup - I’d be better of buying a cheaper class d head instead that I can throw in a gig bag. This amp has been well gigged and has plenty of battle scars on the tolex. But the head is good and has never let me down. there’s loads of good features on this head too. Graphic equaliser, tube preamp, compressor, high pass and low pass filter. in terms of the price I really wasn’t sure what it’s worth, but I think £150 ish is probably about right. Or possibly interested in a class d head trade - has to be 500w minimum though. collection only

    Comes with hardcase

    So after wanting a stingray for many years and finally picking one up last year, I’ve realised I’m not an active bass guy (you live & learn!). Although I was initially blown away by the tone, I soon found myself reaching for my p or j bass instead. This bass has been in its case for months now and is not getting any use hence the sale. The guy who had it before me was a collector and I don’t think it’s had that much use. Certainly is in great condition. after about a week of having it I stupidly managed to chip a bit of paint below the battery compartment (see photo). Other than that it’s great! Collection only.

    If you’re using (and overdriving) a tube amp it will naturally compress anyway right? What tube amp are you using & is the extra weight worth it in comparison to Abm?
  17. alexa3020
    I’ll give it a try. I presumed it was more for a slap tone - I play fingerstyle
  18. alexa3020
    Ah I see, the Spectracomp is integrated into the head on the rh series and it doesn’t look like toneprint is supported with that head. Shame, loads to play with in the TonePrint editor but if it currently does what you want it to do, then no problem anyway

    It’s worth checking out. There’s basically a library of pre-made settings from tc artists that you can beam to your pedal - it’s honestly super simple and no tweaking required (unless you want to). Nathan easts compressor settings are good & muscle comp was good too. You can beam the default Spectracomp settings that you’re using now back to the pedal if that’s what you prefer. if you go create your own there’s a huge amount of settings you can tweak - way more than you would see on a compressor pedal. Check out @Doodvideo

    I’ve just picked up a Spectracomp. Still getting a feel for it. Any recommendations on TonePrints?

    I thought the origin effects cali 76 was the top player. I was quite tempted to get the compact bass version
  22. alexa3020
    Definitely shape off (pushed in) to cut through a mix - in a rock band environment anyway. I did find that you'll lose some volume if you use the onboard compressor And make sure the input gain is cranked & occasionally peaking in the red. I didn't really like barefaced 10 cabs with my ABM - I much prefer the Ashdown 15 cabs I have instead - although many would disagree I'm sure

    There’s a trace Elliot ah1200 at my practice room. That thing has it’s own gravitational pull. I’d hate to drag that to any gig! Most A/B heads are fairly light though - an Abm 600 is around 12kg, handbox r400 is even lighter I think and as much power as anyone would need. If you’re driving to a gig, I don’t see it as too much of a hardship to use a class a/b head if that’s what you prefer.
  24. alexa3020
    I know this thread is about class d vs a/b, but does lightweight (neo) cab vs heavy cab play a part in this as well. I think it’s less of a factor personally, but interested to get everyone’s take - particularly as I’m still lugging heavier cabs around

    I looked for a decent backpack for a while that would fit an ABM head, I couldn’t find anything decent for cheap, so gave up. would be useful though, it’d be an easier carry in a backpack.
