Is that an arctic lorry trailer with some speakers in it 😄

Thanks for the replies everyone much appreciated. @DGBass I think it is one of the blue line sica drivers, has an almost cloth like feel to the blue cone. I might remove to have a look at the back of it but no fuss at the moment. I would much rather have the combo on top of an extension speaker than the other way round so good to hear that, I was just wondering if the slot port needed to be near to the floor that’s all.

Hi all, I've always had a head and separate cab setup so haven't run into this before, but I have an Ashdown ABM 300w combo with built in 15" speaker and wondered if I added an extension cab at a later date are there any hard fast rules? I understand that a speaker's size doesn't necessarily dictate how much bass/air it moves, but could I add something like a 2x10, a 1x12, 2x12 or 1x15 etc without any worries such as comb filtering as there's no horn/tweeter on the combo. Also, the combo has a slit port across the whole width along the bottom, I presume it would still work as intended if the combo was sat on top of an extension speaker, or would I need to put the extension on top of the combo? Cheers

I bet that sounds (and feels) glorious!

I bet the guys from Origin are over the moon with blatant rip offs being passed off as their own - the've still got the ORIGIN EFFECTS logo on for god sake.

Bought an Ashdown ABM combo from Dave. Met him in the salubrious surroundings of a Lidl car park and exchanged cash for 300 watts of joy. Ended up talking all things bass for well over an hour. That says it all. A lovely guy and pleasure to deal with 😊

What is this 15th fret you speak of and how do I access it? Do I have to defeat some end of level boss to be able to see it? In all seriousness have you checked how it is height wise compared to the other frets? Is the profile the same as the others?

That's an absolute steal @Marillionred great find. Also, Ashdown's customer service is without doubt the benchmark in the industry - no quibbling just good, honest advice and belief in the products.

Paul bought some flats off me for a project bass. Nice and friendly guy who was easy to deal with, recommended 👍

That’s an OCD dream right there!

Most of that stuff is way overpriced, but to be fair there's some pretty rare items on that list that would be perfect for a technology/consumer museum. I went to the Heinz Nixdorf museum in Germany a couple years ago and that place was amazing, filled with loads of tech through the ages and done brilliantly too.

Larry bought some dunlop fingerpicks from me. A pleasure to deal with thanks a lot 😀

Pete bought a capo from me. A pleasure to deal with thanks a lot 😀

That moment when everything syncs perfectly it feels like you've gone from a group of individuals with a common interest to one being, kind of like Voltron 😄 It's pure magic when it happens and better than any drug I've tried.

I take it you haven’t seen many bass players before 😜

The Digbeth 500 head looks awesome, was watching the Andertons review and it sounded great.

Sold Tony my fretboard gauge/profile set, an absolute pleasure to deal with and a fellow reggae lover to boot. Bless up yourself 😀

Sold Pete a Shubb capo and a glass slide, he was an absolute gent to deal with thanks Pete 😀
