[quote name='acidbass' post='20522' date='Jun 19 2007, 11:57 PM']Simple really! What's the difference between these two companies? There are two seperate websites, two seperate brand logos, and yet all the cabinets are similar, and with similar brand names. The contact address for both companies is also exactly the same. I know we have users of both brands on this forum, so can anyone fill me in? Cheers! Danny[/quote] IIRC Tech Soundsystems were just re-launced / re-branded as Tech Amp. Don't know why, perhaps a marketing ploy? Hamster

Ah well - that's two events I'm going to miss because of summer holiday plans - think I may have to re-book! Hamster

Can't do either - wedding gig on 11th and summer hols on 18th.

A Kay perhaps? Hamster

[quote name='Oxblood' post='19649' date='Jun 18 2007, 02:47 PM']That would be a miracle, Mr H. Being solid state amps, they don't have output transformers. Or wuz it 'transistors' you meant? Either way, half mars bar to the following address, please.... BJ, that's appalling. Ashdown seems to have really lost its way of late. I wonder if this is one of the new Made In C**na ABMs?[/quote] Ha ha ha - what a doofus I meant the MAINS transformer. Gimme the address for the mars bar - it's melting a bit.... Hamster

[quote name='bj_rocke' post='19359' date='Jun 17 2007, 10:47 PM']Very weird! does anyone know why this might of happened?[/quote] I bet you half a mars bar it's a fried output transformer - a weak spot on Ashdown amps. Hamster

[quote name='Toasted' post='19515' date='Jun 18 2007, 10:55 AM']Maths for the win.[/quote] Is that your 2 cents worth?

[quote name='rodl2005' post='19484' date='Jun 18 2007, 09:53 AM']Yep-LOVELY AMP Hamster.... But IMHO these days-apart from the "cool" factor of having a B15- U R probly better off with a V4BH(the 100w tube amp from the B15 IS pretty similar apparently- some've said virtually the same) & a SVT15 cab-or a cuppla cabs...= FAR more conveniant-THAT B15 is not only EXPENSIVE but it weighs 117lbs & is hard to lift- & it's a tube amp-so U don't wanna go thumpin it round too much! IMHO-V4BH @ about 40lbs & a good cab(I use my EV 1x15" when I want the B15 vibe....& the NV610 when I want the SVT 810 vibe!!!!!!!!!! ;-) = a much better option.[/quote] I agree about the V4BH + cab, but Chris is after a combo which considerably narrows the field CK suggests a couple of good ideas, but they don't pop up too often (law of s.o.d. will apply from this post onwards! ) Hamster

[quote name='vegas_hooker' post='19307' date='Jun 17 2007, 09:11 PM']Maybe thinking of getting some weird odds and sods for pedals. Thought a ring modulator would be a good place to start.

[quote name='chrisgil' post='19363' date='Jun 17 2007, 10:53 PM']Whats the best bass combo to get the best out of a Musicman Stingray (3eq) I love that quality, round, punchy bass sound of a musicman and am after a combo that gets the best out of it. Any advice would be great.[/quote] Best pop into a good bass dealer to see what they have, and how your Ray sounds through them. Have a play with one of these [url="http://ampeg.com/products/diamondbluebass/b15r/index.html"]Ampeg combo[/url] Hamster

[quote name='acidbass' post='18815' date='Jun 16 2007, 03:14 PM']Another great, underrated player. As you say, Blues does have a lot of repetitive patterns that even the best players employ, but he does manage to keep it interesting and fresh in each line he plays. Also works really well with the drummer (Chris Layton?) to create a great rhythm section. Certainly not the easiest position to fill, standing behind SRV and laying down the rhythm, but they both do it brilliantly.[/quote] Amen. Tragedy that SRV died when he did - the band were just getting back on form again. Hamster

[quote name='nick' post='19334' date='Jun 17 2007, 09:59 PM']Hello All, Just purchased a Dominator MK1 bass amp top off ebay. Don't really know anything about these amps, so it's a bit of a gamble! I love valve sound, & fancied a change from my usual Trace. Does anybody know anything about this amp, or had any experience of it? Would be grateful for any info at all. Hope I haven't bought a lemon Many thanks[/quote] No personal knowledge, but a buddy of mine had one and quite liked it.
