  1. Just let me know where to send my £5. Cheers Charla
  2. The Ampeg and an ABM 1 x 15 are posted in the Amp & Cabs threads, not a sniff, which is why I was thinking of modding the Ampeg. I was looking to buy one of the Epifani UL310's that were for sale on this site with the proceeds, they've gone now! It's a dilemma as i want something light weight but can't afford to have 4 cabs lying around the house! Thanks for the advice, I'll think long and hard before making a decision. Cheers Charla
  3. I have an Ampeg SVT 410HE and I'm thinking of replacing the speakers with Neodymium Drivers. Ampeg suggest Eminence speakers, but there's a choice of 4 choices; Deltalite II 2510 250W 10"; Basslite S2010 10"; Basslite CA2010; Basslite CH2010 10"? If I'm going to spend over £200 on speakers I want to make sure I get the right ones!! Cheers Charla
  4. I have the same cabinet; it sounds awesome with my EBS TD650, but with my Ashdown ABM 500 it does sound quiet compared to using either my 1 x 15 or 2 x 10 Ashdown 8 ohms cabs! I can't explain why. I'm thinking of buying some Neodymium speakers and making my Ampeg a 4 ohms cabinet, which should make the ABM louder. Mind you since getting the EBS it has gone into semi-retirement, rehearsals only. Cheers Charla
  5. Thinking of selling my Ampeg 4x10HE 8ohm 500 watt cabinet, good nick with the usual gig scrapes: £250 Ashdown is the old style and has a Tuff Stuff Cover: make me an offer ? It's heavy so would prefer pick up, I'm about 12 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne. Pics later Cheers Charla
  6. How does this compare to my Ampeg 4 x 10 HE? I was looking for a lightweight 4 x 10, but this does look tempting. Cheers Charla
  7. I bought the Fender Japan fretless jazz from Mike, he's a good guy to deal with and I don't think he'd try to fool anyone. Go on, buy the MM Jazz, you'll not be disappointed. I have the 5 string and love the sound. Cheers Charla
  8. Just bought a Fender Japan Jazz Fretless from Mike (ChampionBadger). A sound bloke to do business with; kept me informed about the sale, arranged a swift delivery and the bass arrived safe & sound having been packed in a hard case and cardboard box. Cheers Charla
  9. Price added. I need the cash to buy a Ken Smith Jazz 5 string. I've also been offered a Marcus Miller in exchange; has anyone player both basses and can offer an opinion? Cheers Charla
  10. Simply Beautiful, what more can you say! Cheers Charla
  11. Mike Not sure if I've done this right but it's 10mm at the nut & 16mm at the bridge. My 5 string Jazz is 11mm at the nut & 19mm at the bridge. I only know that for some reason I find the Jazz much easier to play. I suppose years of playing the Jazz has something to do with it. Saying that the Spector has been my main giging bass since I bought it in 2002! I probably just at an `awkward age', mind you my wife says I was born awkward in that I like getting new toys. I see you have a Ken Smith 6 string, I'm interested in the KSD Jazz 5 and would appreciate your views. Cheers Charla
  12. Thanks for the positive comments. It has a nice low action a well defined B string and easy to play. I'd keep it but for the string spacing being narrower than the Jazz. Cheers Charla
  13. I've got a Spector NS JH5 String: Serial No.209; Spalted Maple 0n Mahogany. A Nice bass but the string spacing is too narrow for me, I'm used to the Wal and Fender Jazzes! The bass is a USA bolt-on and was made on 31.04.2005 and I bought it new. I'm not sure what it's worth so make me an offer, I'm also open to trades, specifically interested in 35" scale Jazz 5 strings, or 4x10 4ohm light weight cabinet I'm looking at a Ken Smith Jazz therefore I need £800 for the Spector.

  14. I just love the Fretless Jazz; don't suppose you want to do a deal on an Ashdown ABM 500 head and ABM 1x15 compact cab? If I had the cash I'd be straight down there in a flash!!! Cheers Charla

  16. I have an ABM500 plus 1x15 and 2x10 Cabs and was satisfied with the sound, mind you I am also `old school'. I have recently bought an EBS TD650 and Ampeg 4 x 10, which makes an awesome sound! However, I'm keeping the Ashdown as it also sounds great and is more portable, so I just take out what takes my fancy: EBS wins 5:1, but hey, I don't play with a rock band that often. Oh and the Bassman you see to your left!!!!!!!!!!!! Same with basses though; one man's meat is another man's poison!
  17. Oxblood Thanks for the reply, makes perfect sense really, but I wanted to be sure before going ahead. Yes the amp is solid state or mosfet to be precise, an EBS TD650 and I do have substantial cable for all connections. The Bassman and 2 x 12 is my `intimate' gig and practice amp as it can't cope with drummer and Brass at volume. Cheers Charla
  18. Okay, I know it sounds daft but is there a difference in linking a mono amp to 2 cabinets by: a) the 2 outputs on the amp to a cabinet each & one output then linking the 2 cabinets? And secondly What is the most appropriate way of linking 3 x 8 Ohm cabinets to one Amp? It's designed to run at 2 Ohms there there isn't an issue there. Cheers Charla
  19. I have 2 Ashdown compact cabinets; 1 x 15 and 2 x 10 both with Tuff Stuff covers? Cheers Charla
  20. Just bought the EBS TD650 from Gary, a `sound guy' and the cabinet sounds great, might even buy it myself! So have a bump on me. Cheers Charla
  21. Yes I am the lucky person, and looking forward to giving it a `bleeze' as they say in the North East. Cheers Charla
  22. It's good this forum! Whilst we're on the subject of valves; I have a 1976 Fender Bassman 100, I've had it checked and been told it's OK, however, it seems to lack volume and I have to run the gain fairly high when using passive basses but get a better result with active basses. Any comments would be appreciated. Cheers Charla
