They are now on ebay with no reserve. Go on, 'av a bid!

Might have to give 'em away!

Bump. I might have to drop the price even more!!

Just accepted an offer of £750 for one. That's cheaper than the 500w model.

A genuine bargain.

Here's some pics of the actual amp.

Here's a link to some bargain Ashdown heads for sale. It was moved to the special offers section
Thanks

I'm hoping they will cope with a low B without any problem. They have the same low frequency handling as the GS. They are heavy for a 1x12, but still better than lugging a 4x10 around! I'm surprised they only have one handle though.

I took the plunge earlier and ordered three of them, in monster green. The tweed is nice though!

I'll let the forum know what I think of them, also the DB750. Should be a nice compact rig.

Useful comments guys, but I assume no ones used one?

Interesting comments about porting Alex, thanks.

Ian

I saw those for sale, and then realised they were GS cabs, and used words substantially stronger than d'oh!!!

Oooh , I like that pic. That's what mine might look like except 3 cabs high, and monster green!

I don't know what difference rear ported makes, but I guess its why these are supposed to be 'louder' than any other 1x12 on the market (according to Aggy)

I've read great reviews of the GS112 cabs, although some say it has a natural mid-scoop sound to it.

The DB112 is supposed to eliminate that, so I'd be keen to hear from anyone who has used one. I'm looking at getting three to go with my DB750 head.

[quote name='bassmandan' post='67386' date='Sep 29 2007, 03:29 PM']I've just purchased a rather beautiful Jazz Bass body blank from this gentleman, for a very reasonable price too!

Everything went nicely without a hitch, it was swiftly delivered and (very) well packed, took me close to ten minutes to unwrap infact!

Highly recommended, A+++ as they say in ebay-land!

Thanks Dan. Can't wait to see the finished pics.

Cheers

If it looked like this, consider your arm well and truly bitten off!....

Out of interest, what strings are you using? Do you have them strung thru the body?

[quote name='phsycoandy' post='66624' date='Sep 27 2007, 09:04 PM']Man Thats sweet, are the Barts or the new Lakland pups?[/quote]


Looks like Lakys own pups. I'd like to know how they compare to the Barts.

Nice improvement to an already awesome bass!

[quote name='minty fresh death' post='65504' date='Sep 25 2007, 07:57 PM']I was wondering how much I should be paying for one of these, there is one on the bay at £500 currently.

The retail for about £1100 right, so what is a reasonable figure to go for or not go past?[/quote]

When I see a s/h price going over two thirds of the new price, I think f*ck it, I'll pay the extra and get a new one with warranty. So I guess no more than £700. Just my opinion though.

Shame these aren't the DB112's as I'm considering getting three of them. Bugger.

Hi,

I had a UL410 (in fact I had two!) and they offer everything you need. They handled a low B with ease, each cab is 1000w, plus they are very sensitive. I ended up using only one cab as I found it sounded better driving one cab hard rather than having two hardly being pushed. Neo speakers are supposed to be slightly heavier on the mids than conventional drivers, but I never noticed it. I think I'm right in saying EBS had problems when they first started using Neo's, but as far as I know there are no issues with Epi.

One of my cabs is for sale at the moment I believe!

Cheers

Are these specials? The only exposed pole pups I've seen from them are the vintage Jazz ones.

Please correct me if I'm wrong though!

I ordered my 210212L direct from Jorg, but hasn't arrived yet coz Nationwide have wired my money to God knows where.!! He's done a good deal though and thrown in a protective cover.

I think some of the Ibanez basses have a narrow 16.5mm spacing.

I think the guy had the right idea sticking a P-bass pickup on it. All he needs to do now is change the useless MM preamp, and he may end up with a reasonable bass!! Anything over a stock SR will be an improvement. Only kidding - I've had two, and never found them cut through the mix in a gig situation. Great at home on their own.

I've often considered the idea raised in this thread. I see no reason why a PA speaker can't work with bass. A PA system is just there to make things a lot louder, and do it at the best quality possible. Take the Mackie SA1530Z, it's 3-way tri-amped and 1300w RMS, and has a frequency range of 38hz to 20khz. But Mackie in the UK told me that won't be suitable for bass guitar, but they couldn't back it up with a technical reason! Surely a Pod or any bass pre-amp plugged into that Mackie will be a cracking bass rig? Also it would work out pretty cost effective.

Wow, looks really nice. I love the neck. I've got a birdseye maple board on my Lakland.
Let us know what its like when you get your mitts on it.
