I did it today, all sorted, the amp sounds better than it ever has!

Thank you everyone for your help

He sent me out a new input jack last week, awesome guy, awesome company.

Where do I get the inputs from? Also how do I take the front panel out?

EDIT: Ashdown are sending me a free input jack.

Hi All,

Well my trusted Ashdown head's passive input is broken, I have checked my bass on a practice amp so that is fine and also I can use the active input on the amp. I emailed ashdown about the problem and they just told me to replace it.

I opened it up today to check what I had to buy and found that it was soldered onto the board in 6 places. Has anyone done this before to advise me? Or would you just recommend getting a new amp head rather than sending it to Ashdown for service.

Wow, update us please.

Yep I have noticed that they choose good construction materials, but the quality of the pickups is a bit lame. Nice basses though.

Same, and seen as it doesn't say squire on the headstock, nobody really knows it is a budget bass.

The Vintage bass, one of the only cheap brands who consistantly produce good quality instruments for a small price.

List your precious JHS Vintage basses below[b] (pref. with a photo)[/b] - I myself have a Vintage V4 from ages ago and I am about to purchase either V 1004 or the V940.

I had a nasty buzz in mine and today I shielded the whole of the pickup cavity and control cavity with copper. Worked a treat!

The buzz goes away when I touch any metal part to atleast 90% - the P bass is almost unplayable as it pops and buzzes all the time.

Is there a solution to this? I have looked to see if there are loose wires or the bridge ground needs adjusting. But nothing seems to be working, apart from a complete re-wire what could it be?

Got the same.

To be honest the specials on Jools Holland arn't the best reflection of sound, seen as it is mixed for the TV.

What happens if you own a Rolls Royce phantom? Potential 1/10 bass budget of £35,000?

Buy a product where the company that makes it knows how to write proper instructions.

She looks like a bit of a ferret when she 'looks like shes enjoying herself'

A bit samey, sounds alot like Marcus when he's not slapping to kingdom come.

£500 for a bass like that, no thanks.

My trace 1153:

the russian bassballs looks interesting the price would have to be lower though.

Mine doesn't track really passed a low C, I mean it does a little so I would say an A.

Use meths, metal and water does not go together.

Email ashdown, they will fix it if you can't.
