    Thing is I've got a 210he and 115lf that I use together when needed and they're rated to match the head. Barefaced say that a One 10 is "Safe with up to 500W if you're running fairly clean sounds" which I wont always be so wouldn't want to risk that. The plan is One 10 with the PF20T or a tiny head I can chuck in a bag for small gigs/as a stage monitor and eventually get a Super Compact or something a little larger (matched for power, of course, dunno if the Compact is as of writing) for when needed but I have the Ampeg cabs for now. Might chuck the PF500 and 210HE combo up for sale here. Much as I love it, I also love the idea of rolling up to a gig with a cab in hand and everything else on my back instead of cars and multiple trips. Also means I get to actually have a drink post gig! 👌👑🍻

    Sweet, nice one, I'll look into that! Cheers
  3. Misowaki
    That does look ideal but yeah for that money, may as well buy a small head 😃
  4. Misowaki
    Yeah I did think that straight after posting actually but I still like the idea of a small amp that will fit in the gig bag for when I'm feeling lazy 😃 The Trace Elf looks pretty sweet too size wise.

    So I've just ordered myself a Barefaced One 10 and am thinking of either downgrading my PF500 to get something like a TC BH250 or Markbass Nano Mark or something but then thought... would a little power amp work from my SCR-DI? Anyone know if this is possible/a practical way of getting a little amp head in a bag without spending another £200-300? I normally take a Spectracomp, Polytune and the SCR-DI to a gig so a little power amp would do the trick if it's doable but then so would a BH250 with toneprint and tuner built in and leave the other bits at home... I know I could just chuck the PF500 in a bag/double bass case and be done but I like the idea of something smaller. I have a PF20T too which I'm sure will sound phenomenal through the One 10 but in case I don't fancy driving to a gig, wanna be able to basically have everything in one bag and the cab in my hand. Anyone got anything to say about either head or the power amp thing? Either of them any good? Cheers

    I thought that at first but when I took it to rehearsal after about 20 minutes of play, it really started to growl. Maybe it just needs a little more time to warm up?
  8. Misowaki
    Haha, how did we not figure this out sooner?! =D Glad it's gone to a good home, hope you didn't get in trouble with the wife!

    I tried my PF20T at rehearsal the other night. Used the cab from the rehearsal room (some Hartke 15" I believe). Was almost maxed out, Gain at about 1 or 2 o'clock, bass at about 4 and volume around 3 to be heard against kit, keys, 2 guitars, trombone, trumpet and vocals. With the gain there, had to play gingerly to stop it going from a purr to a growl but it held its own against all that. I'd have no qualms gigging it with PA support at a larger gig or by itself with a smaller band. The difference with a second cab when playing at home is pretty huge too so if I could be bothered to take 2 cabs, would be fine for most regular gigs.

    £750 anyone? I'm actually quite surprised this isn't getting snapped up...
  11. Misowaki
    Price drop to £800 ono
  12. Misowaki
    Yeah man, thing's complete, never actually put it on the bass I got it for, which I no longer have.

    Offers considered as it has to go asap but no trades, thanks. I'm already losing money here so someone please buy it soon so I can pay my road tax and car insurance =S You probably know how rare these are. Head is handmade in Essex. 30 watts, all tube. I bought this on a whim after finally entering the world of tube amps. A very expensive whim. It has to be said, this is the only Ashdown amp that's ever sounded good to my ears. But not just good good; the kind of good that has you cackling gleefully after playing for about 5 seconds. Maybe it's just battered old rehearsal room gear that hadn't sold me on them but this is a beast. Was hoping to keep it but as life has a habit of kicking you in the penis when you're smiling, I've got to let it go. Only had it a few months, left the house once. It's basically brand new. You are of course welcome to come try it as it won't be posted unless you want to arrange all that and take the risk. That said, I'm willing to deliver within a reasonable distance. If it's more than a 20 minute drive, we can discuss. I'm in Walton -on-Thames.

    Yep, still kicking about

    Do it! I love my pf20 and that's plenty loud with 2 cabs. Would've gone for the 50 but already got the pf500.
  16. Misowaki
    Do it!

    Given that it was a record label, I'd be willing to put money on saying it was/still is a record label.
  18. Misowaki
    But Motown's a record label that put out loads of some, if not most of the most widely recognised Soul music regardless of whichever exceedingly specific boxes people like to use... You know what, to paraphrase you, horses for courses. I'm gonna leave it there.
  19. Misowaki
    Uhh... Just... wait, it's gonna take me a long time to get my head around this one...

    I feel like I'm poking the bear here but what then do you make of James Brown as the 'Godfather of Soul'? He was known more for his funk years than his crooning early days but still gets the title. For me, it's always been Otis. Otis, via Michael Jackson, got me into music in general. Natural progressions and that led me to where I am now but seems a bit like taking a dump on a recently deceased indisputable legend for the sake of opinion. It's a meaningless title really, a sales pitch, but she is quite easily one of the most influential artists of all time and if musical monarchy is decided by the people, she's easily the queen. Never mind that she was making music a decade before Anita (not to discredit here, I consciously know but one of her songs). Almost akin to calling Charles Bradley or Sharon Jones the king/queen of soul when they passed. Charles Bradley is the only artist that I've literally cried (emooooooo) every time I've seen him, live or on video ffs. That makes him the king of my soul but what does that mean to anyone else? About as much as the rest of this rambling message, probably.

    Just want to say, Paul is a great teacher. He taught me at ACM many moons ago and I've returned for private lessons to fill the gaps in my knowledge. I point vaguely in the direction of what I want to improve, he has it all laid out on a plate waiting for me. I digress with something vaguely related, he ties it all back up. Couldn't recommend him enough.
  22. Misowaki
    My 20 through the pf210he and a pf115lf sounds mammoth in my bedroom... reckon it would more than hold its own in a rehearsal at least so don't see why the 50 wouldn't work for smaller gigs with no pa support.
  23. Misowaki
    Should anyone want to comission or build their own...
  24. Misowaki
    They say 7-10 days normally but previously they've come within the week.
  25. Misowaki
    Stoked for you, man. Glad they came through and you got it sorted. Swan were really decent too, I did them a sketch with all the dimensions and they've now got them on the site to order. Nice enough to give me a discount for the sketch too! Link here for anyone interested. https://www.swanflight.com/ampeg-pf-20t-head-flightcase.html
