  1. Barefaced 210s 2 x 10 switchable cab. 
    A fantastic sounding cab in pretty good condition after about 100 gigs. IMG_1390.thumb.jpeg.77b012d1a32193aa52393b5c53bf70e7.jpeg

    Showing some scuff marks on the top from the amp (always played vertically, so technically one side)

    Also looks like it has the first signs of peeling on the back, the seams are slightly gappy in places. 
    Comes with a Rock Solid cover. 
     

    Only selling as I have bought a Super Compact which is a lot lighter. 
     

    Collection from Harrogate only as no box. 
    Could meet up within a reasonable distance.

  2. Are you having to turn gain and master to full in order to get a decent level of volume through your cabinet? The first time I owned an ABM 500, back in the day, I put it through a 1x15 cab that wasn't very efficient. This mean I couldn't get loud enough to play with a loud drummer and a loud guitarist without putting the needle way into the red (gain and master maxed). The reason was, that my cab just wasn't efficient enough (it was a TC Electronic 2x10).

     

    I ended up selling the ABM and buying a TC Electronic head.

     

    A few later I bought a Barefaced Compact 1x15 and recently I bought a secondhand ABM 500. I tried it with the Barefaced and because the cab is so efficient I no longer had the same problem.

     

    What cab are you putting your amp through?

     

    Hi, I think I’ve got the hang of it now. I’ve stopped using the compressor & have lowered the input volume & turned up the output volume. 
    I’m using a Barefaced 210 which now sounds great.  
    The VU meter isn’t moving much now, which is reassuring. 
    I think I was going wrong because I was copying other peoples settings on this thread. 
    They are great amps, definitely worth persevering with. 

  3. Great service from Ashdown. I contacted them about getting replacement slider caps for my ABM600 & within a week Dave contacted me for my address& a few days later they arrived in the post, with no charge. 
    cannot fault them.

  4. I’m also having issues with the eq on my ABM600 in that the VU meter is permanently in the red when I’m playing live. 
    I’ve put an Ampeg compressor in front which has tamed the signal. My only problem is that I don’t like the compressed sound. 
    is there anything else I can use to tame the signal other than using a compressor?

  5. Boss VE2 Vocal Harmonist pedal, only used a handful of times. Our PA covers most of what I need for backing vocals. 
     

    Collection preferred but can post for an extra £10.00

     

    some additional blurb:

     

    Description

    The Boss VE-2 Vocal Harmonist delivers sophisticated vocal processing in an easy-to-use pedal. Perfect for singers who play guitar, this portable pedal magically creates lush vocal harmonies that follow your singing, with pitch tracking your guitar chords, a preset key, or a blend of both. Using one of three modes, you can dial in gorgeous harmonies on the fly, even mid-song, without any music theory experience.

    Auto-Harmony Mode Follows Your Guitar

    In Auto-Harmony mode, the VE-2 listens to the chords you strum and generates matching vocal harmonies in real time. This allows for perfect harmonies in any key, even if you change keys mid song. With 24 harmony types to choose from, you can add full, choir-like backing to your vocals with the press of a footswitch.

    Set Your Key for Solo Performances

    When performing without a guitar, set your song's key using the dedicated key knob. The VE-2 will create harmonies based on the key you select, allowing solo vocalists and a cappella groups to benefit from lush harmonization previously only available to those accompanying themselves on an instrument.

    Hybrid Mode Blends Guitar and Key Input

    For songs that transition between rhythm guitar and lead playing, Hybrid mode generates harmonies based on both your guitar chords and the key setting. This unique feature ensures the right harmonies whether you're strumming chords or soloing. With a simple footswitch press, you have the flexibility to change between modes during your performance.

    Essential Vocal Effects and USB Recording

    In addition to harmonies, the VE-2 provides reverb, delay and an enhancer with pitch correction to polish your vocal tone. You can also connect the VE-2 to your computer via USB to capture your vocal sounds for recording, videos and more. Compact, portable and battery-powered, the Boss VE-2 Vocal Harmonist puts studio-quality vocal processing at your feet whenever and wherever you want to sing.

    Features

    Real-time vocal harmonies and high-quality effects in an affordable, easy-to-operate pedal

    Auto Harmony function automatically detects chords played on a connected guitar and generates perfectly matching harmonies, even during mid-song key changes

    Solo singers can create harmonies by manually setting the song key with a dedicated panel knob

    Hybrid mode creates harmonies based on both guitar chord input and the manual key setting, perfect for songs where the guitar part transitions between rhythm and lead playing

    24 harmony types to choose from (12 one- and two-voice harmonies plus variations that provide even fuller sounds)

    Friendly user interface that's simple to use, even for vocalists not familiar with using effects

    Easily dial up reverb and delay effects with a single knob

    Enhance function controls dynamics and applies subtle pitch correction as you sing

    Three memories for storing favorite settings

    Runs on four AA-size batteries or optional PSA-series AC adapter (sold separately

    XLR mic input with phantom power (phantom power is available even when running on batteries)

    USB audio function for capturing processed vocal sounds into your computer

  6. Black Sterling by music Man SB14 Stingray bass made in Indonesia. 
    Active electronics

    Smaller body & neck to give a Jazz style feel to the bass. 
    A lovely bass to play but I just can’t get used to the active electronic’s & I gave come to the decision that I am a Precision man. 
    The bass is in good condition & has recently been set up with new Rotosound Swing Bass 45 - 105 round wound strings. 
    There is a small amount of buckle rash on the back, but it is minimal. 
    Collection preferred from Harrogate but I could post at the buyers expense. 
    I have an old battered case & a box I could send it in.

  7. This is probably a stupid question but here goes. 
    On my Ashdown RM500 amp, does it matter which Speakon socket I use?

    I always use the top one but I find that when I am disconnecting the speaker, the back of the amp casing is a bit tight. 
    The lower one would be easier but I don’t want to cause a problem. 
    The speaker is a Barefaced 210 retro if that makes a difference.
