Machines

Looked up my serial and it's a year earlier than I thought ! The weather let me get out in the somewhat wild garden of mine to take some new pics...

I've got a a smidgeon of GAS for this SRX355, especially since it's £249, anyone got one ? But THIS I would hit, alas it's double the price.. probably got same pickups/EQ anyway.

Yeah i'd go for simply remembering the settings, they can't be that wildly different surely ?

Welcome !

Don't do it !

Let us know what you think .

Sorry, I just can't see this thing keeping up with the competitors out there.[/quote] That was the impression I got, who's going to take a risk on this when there's well other established basses out there cheaper ?

I haven't got the email here, but JHS said the bridge was "a homage to the over engineered bridge of the EBO". (Possible misquoting here) It does look pretty similar...

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='257821' date='Aug 8 2008, 09:42 AM']If you look at Ashdowns reputation it seems to dip around the time they started using pre assembled parts from china. Nothing wrong IMO with using China (and i know a lot of companies do) but there does seem to be a reason why the Klytrons are made over here.[/quote] What gets me is that the Klystrons are specwise, exactly the same as the ABMs. The only obvious difference is the case. I wouldn't be surprised if they used the same internal components. So what are you getting extra for the cash ? The prestige of saying it was UK made ?

For me it's a gig bag, if it's not going in your own car then a hardcase. Hardcases are best for the instrument, but suck for portability/storage.

Come on, get that pic up !

Might try and go to the Milton Keynes one.. since my good buddy Kev Cooke is playing too .

We do 3 hours a week, but about 45 mins of that are setup and putting away, since the drummer brings his whole kit..

"Quotes take a significant time to generate. To compensate we charge $10 per quote." I don't see that one getting very far...

Their price point does seem quite high considering they aren't well established. And I agree, you can buy something far more impressive for that cash..

Nice collection there, got lots of areas covered. Do you find the 2x8 cab loud enough ?

[quote name='Tee' post='257280' date='Aug 7 2008, 03:03 PM']Has anyone played a MAG 600 EVO II head? I'm considering getting a cheaper head for gigging, but i've read reviews that they don't sound like their full wattage potential. It could just be user error i guess. The 300 is pretty popular on HC reviews and as i said above i liked the 4x10 combo (MAG 300) version i tried. I'd like the 600 as i'll be using an 8ohm 210 cab. The 300 might not cut it.[/quote] What cab is it you have ?

Whoa, try a little punctuation there beastie ! Your post is quite hard to read but I got the gist of it . [quote name='beastie' post='257742' date='Aug 8 2008, 02:04 AM']you should not be useing a mag amp with abm speakers and vice a versa they will give you a poor sound[/quote] I can only disagree and ridicule that comment.

Sounds like you're overloading the preamp - try turning the gain(input) down or have a flatter EQ with less boost. Also if you have an active bass make sure it's going into the active input..

Nice choice of gear there, welcome to the forum !
