    Decided I might as well move on my Ashdown CTM-100. It works well and sounds glorious but I never really take it anywhere because it is heavy and I have to carry the PA and keys and basses etc, so it used to be too much for the car. Also at waist height on top of my cab in a small venue its not great with my big singles Anyway, all is in pretty good condition, it has a nick on one of the handles, and a bit of dust from sitting around. This is a Made in the UK one (I only just found out there were chinese), and it was hand made as this is the prototype that all others were made from, which is why it has different coloured knobs and a funny serial. I am not posting this though, its too much of a faff to post a valve amp of this weight and I am in no hurry. So local pickup (you can try it etc if you are here) or I can meet up or deliver reasonably locally. Just for sale, don't really want anything about from a 5 string bongo or a SY1000 synth Heres some pictures.

    Wow, even the woman in the video is covering her ears!

    Hey you could start a whole thread with that!

    Oh yes, now I see the china thing - they had two, one at 549 which had madein the UK on the back and one at 499 with Made in china - that one seemed a lot tattier

    Sounds terrible - wonder how it got in that condition? Also wonder if they are just going to take it back and ship it out to the next unsuspecting sucker. Reminds me to not get S/H stuff from andertons. If only there was one available within an hour and half drive of Torquay

    I have ordered from them and haven't had any issues, but then I have also ordered from bax successfully a couple of times. Luck of the draw really, if the order goes smoothly and you don't ahve to deal with them all companies tend to be ok, its only when they need to do something it matters.

    Mine is very supportive. In the last group she came to all our shows, but the current one, we do stupid 3 hour gigs in pubs she would rather not go with so she doesn't, but she is always interested. She has no problems with me buying things, beyond the roll of the eyes and a judgement on whether the new bass is ugly or not. Which is good, the non ugly basses live in the living room. She is a singer and we have been in groups together, but currently our last group just split up so we need to do another.

    My ric copy was nicked, otherwise I would have been happy to stick with that.

    Interestingly, looking at the circuit diagram the 2 and 4 ohm are the same connection.
  10. Woodinblack
    I didn't know that, I thought they were all done here. I know mine is UK - will have a look in it to see what its valves are, it was the original circuit, so I assume it is the diagram I have. Gotta take some pictures for selling anyway.
  11. Woodinblack
    that's what the valves should be isn't it? That's what it says on the circuit diagram I have i didn't think any were made in China, I thought all the ctms were made here and the others made in China. Mine is the first, ie, not one of the first, the one the others are based on by some strange quirk of fate. never looked inside though Very, more than mine and that works! Aren't you just going to send it back?

    And... our next gig is off as the Singers son has tested positive and has to isolate. Hey ho. Maybe next year
  13. Woodinblack
    So 2 ECC82s, 2 ECC83s and 2 KT88s? I must admit, although I have the circuit diagram, I have never actually looked inside mine, as it just worked! Mind you, mine is pre-production so it could be different. Seems odd for a pre-owned, you think they would have at the very least turned it on

    Not a fan I must say and it really doesn't suit him as it looks way too big.
  15. Woodinblack
    The same, an ibanez Ric copy and an amp I made myself.
  16. Woodinblack
    Ah, no, I don't know any of those sort of people!
  17. Woodinblack
    And you wouldn't know what sort of gig you were going to get until you got there! Thought about it.. still at a bit of a loss!
  18. Woodinblack
    It was very different, it was like another group. It was much more keys based, and had a far softer edge. It was the last maiden album I bought, the last time I saw them and I kind of lost interest in them then. Well, they didn't drop him because they got Bruce, they got bruce because he was holding the group back. When you are having to drop gigs because your singer isn't up to it when you are on the way up, you need to get a reliable singer. I saw di'anno last in the late 90s (saw him with maiden too), he was pretty good then.

    I bumped into my drummer on friday, him and his friend were walking to another pub as their local pub had been closed because of the virus. So all their customers were going to the other pub

    Disappointing, it would be good if lidl did gigs!

    because some approaches have been better than others, so it makes sense to listen to them. like listening to pm question time! Whatever the question, that answer is we are world beating at vaccines. Lots of death, yes but vaccines. Lots of corruption, yes but vaccines! I don't think it sticks in anyone's throat, it is great we have vaccine roll outs but there is a limit to how secure you can make the barn door after all the horses have bolted. anyway as previously mentioned, we have a thread for that. we just have the one indoor gig for next week and luckily it is a big venue, where no one comes up to the front. There is no way we would do some of our pubs at the moment, leave them for a while until this current wave starts going down

    Had a practice in Thursday. Was actually a good practice, it just because we actually played well, or because I was testing out my new mustang, but also because at the end of each song we got a round of applause from the people in the beer garden! We have had worse audiences at gigs! anyway, we have a gig next week, unlockdown permitting but the guitarist didn't want to do it as it was inside and he hasn't had all his jabs. So no problem, tell us and we can get someone to cover. So after a bit of prodding he says he isn't happy to do it so we get another guitarist we will work with this week and come up with something to cover - we have cancelled the last two gigs at short notice, so don't want to do again. so tell the guitarist we have it covered so he has decided to step down as he isn't ready to play gigs inside again. Our next 2 are outside, but there you go. hope we can work another guitarist in somehow

    Tonight's gig

    Woodinblack replied to FinnDave's topic in Gigs

    I can't believe that is true. I have it on good authority from this site that if you don't play oasis it is not possible to be invited back! well done anyway, I think the thread you meant was the "how was your gig last night" thread
  24. Woodinblack
    I put a set of those but 50s (as they didn't have 45) on my Squier mustang and I like it, gives a good sound for the mustang (not a sound I would want on anything else). Enjoyable to play.

    Yeh, I thought that. Most things are class compliant. I had a midi interface (M-Audio) that had been in my draw for a decade. I needed 3 actualy midi ports, so I dug it out although I remembered I had an issue with it. It didn't work. I took it apart but it looked clean inside. I did a web search and found there were drivers for it, which seemed odd. Installed them and now it works. I was a bit surprised, it was all a bit last century, haven't needed a driver for anything usb since.. the original iMac!
