  1. Hoping to see Idles in November They are way to heavy for me but I really like the lyrics and general vibe
  2. Bagman

    Chorus & Octaver

    OC-2 if if you can’t find one maybe Ashdown Sub Harmonic I don’t know anything regarding digital octaves Chorus I quite like Tech21 Bass Boost Chorus versatility /options aplenty there
  3. I very much like the old ABM cabinets. Still going strong. The ABM 1510HX is my favorite. Once again they are not for everyone and certainly couldn’t be described as “Hi-Fi” but for me they work good. I had a ABM115 blue speaker (Italy?) as well that was a bit “brighter”
  4. I have had no issue with Ashdown gear aside from wear and tear / basic maintenance. Obviously will get a Tubes bill at some point for the CTM-300 When I have contacted them they always reply promptly when given my location they could choose to ignore me😂😂
  5. The CTM EQ is somewhat quirky but has become my favorite. Magnificent with Passive Bass /Flatwound strings I don’t think the CTM is for everyone but for me it’s the bees knees I still use my 98 ABM Klystrom as well.
  6. GHS Precision Flats are IMO closer to LaBella. ( than Rotosound and Daddario Chromes) I use the 105 E set GHS on a Fretless Jazz and a Tobias. Very smooth strings and great balance across the range.
  7. I have all The Bassist UK magazines from the 1990’s - 2000’s I have found them very useful over the years/decades Also like the written content was a different flavor to US Bass Player mag
  8. L2 Steinberger fretted no dead spots. Entire range is balanced
  9. Yep C# on the G string Fretless Fender Jazz Fretless MusicMan Stingray is pretty good just need to be mindful of string to string balance EQ
  10. Random question but what’s the earliest Ashdown ABM anyone here owns?
  11. Big fan of the Diamond BCP with a Passive, flatwound strung bass The onboard Peavey Compression I had decades back wasn’t very good
  12. @Linus27 what strings on on the Fretless?
  13. Was that the B stock CTM? I bought the CTM-300 a few years ago and it is my favourite amplifier
  14. I quite like that album she did some Prince stuff too ”Everybody Got Their Something” I transcribed for students both reading and plectrum practice.
  15. This is the go at the moment Free The Tone OD Diamond Comp Tech 21 Chorus Wounded Paw Battering Ram 2.6 Dreadbox (Comp Drive Filter) Korg Tuner Ashdown Sub Octave 3Leaf Filter Boss PEQ Boss Flanger Sadowsky Pre/DI
  16. Original Stingray shipped with Flats on I Play a 2EQ Fretless Stingray with Chromes (105 E) smoother than a baby’s bottom
  17. Passive Precision 0 Tone Passive Jazz 0 Tone Passive Jazz Fretless 30% Tone L2 Steinberger Active 0 Tone
  18. L2 Steinberger Very black
  19. Like the scratch plate and controls on the white one
  20. L2 Steinberger- LaBella double ball are very nice. Really should have done this years back. Very smooth I have ordered another style of LaBella Flats for my old Jazz
  21. I put GHS Flats on a Fretless Jazz a month back and yeah they are nice
  22. Yep that’s sort of my experience too. I haven’t required “repairs” more “maintenance” for my Ashdown gear and always excellent communication and advice Given I bought my Klystrom ABM in 1998 and it’s still used 3-4 times a week that’s pretty good I reckon
  23. Double Ball i don’t have the string adapter
