    Had a ABM 500 with my BF four10 for a while. Worked great but I moved the amp on and kept the cab. IMO Ashdown ABM is an old-school amp. Why not pair it with a retro cab (10” drivers) rather than a FRFR hifi cab like the big twin?

    Any tips for making your own scratchplates?

    Just curious - what’s medium scale? 32”??

    Anyone who wishes to try my OB1-500 out is welcome (post crisis). I'm in Winchester.

    Morning. I'd like to poll the BC brains on preferred storage for our precious instruments.
  7. bigjimmyc
    Works equally well in either hand

    Try the Orange OB-1 or Four stroke. Brilliant for rock.
  9. bigjimmyc
    Bigger is better, right?
  10. bigjimmyc
    OK they may need polishing but at least they're the right way up.
  11. bigjimmyc
    Fraid not!

    Looks fantastic. A steal!

    Just use it upside down @Grangur

    OK it seems the barefaced fanbois have not arrived yet, so I will dive in... As per Phil's advice, go try lots of stuff. But don't forget to try barefaced 10s and 12s. You will not be disappointed. I recall having a similar quandry a few years ago, and took a punt on the new barefaced four10. I wasn't sure it would be enough so I took the 8-ohm version so I could add a second. In hindsight a two10 would have done the job. This gear is unbelievably loud, weighs very little and is very well constructed. They have a wide range to suit your style too. Go try em.

      I had a quick look at the basses for sale and the amps - couldn't see any of your items for sale..

      What are you selling??

      Did you look in the left-handed section, Mick?

      Cheers @Grangur... @TheGreek I have an Ashdown VS-212 going cheap.

  16. bigjimmyc
    No reasonable offer refused. Will include a basic gig bag and strap plus original parts if required. Got a wedding to pay for.....

    Price drop £95.... come on people!

    Am I too late to play the game? ABM500 with four10.
  19. bigjimmyc
    whoa... I'll fight you for it if it resurfaces!
  20. bigjimmyc
    Not as light as my barefaced four10! But not too bad for a 212.

    Wahey! New band after 8 long years! Now to learn 30 new songs 😅

      Great news.

      How many were in your previous band's repertoire?  I'm guessing a few more than 30...

    Hey. Not sure what you mean by too high, but I have a feeling this is a setup problem. Have you checked the action & intonation? Otherwise it could be the truss rod needs a tweak - but get professional help if you’re not sure what you’re doing!

    Interesting! If this was a 5 (and I wasn’t skint) I’d probably keep it. At this price it’s hardly worth selling anyway. I love the body shape. It plays nicely. Perhaps It’ll stay after all.....

    Now £110 for a great gig cab
