  1. Welcome back. What's with the kisses !?
  2. Hah ! I played that very bass 6 weeks ago. Beautiful instrument and you will be happy with it.
  3. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='141977' date='Feb 17 2008, 04:59 PM']Hmm... we'll see. By the way, what's going on with Ashdown's designs at the mo? A lot of the new stuff they're putting out looks awful...[/quote] It is a bit strange. They seem to be veering off-tangent from the typical head/cab designs we're all used to. Props for originality - but I don't think I'd ever choose a lime green / bright orange head.
  4. [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/section.asp?section=labs"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/section.asp?section=labs[/url] Just spotted these on their site... they kept them quiet !
  5. I think you'd do better selling the bass and then buying a car of your own choice ! Would likely stand a better chance that way.
  6. I'll wait till it's in the shops in a week or so .
  7. I'd love to do a review for you Dave, the VTX-400 would probably suit me best. I'm not in a buying position at the moment but it would be a bit of an insight for people who are. Let me know if you're interested. Matt
  8. Yep.. a bit like a Fender Squier.
  9. All StingRays are active, SUBs can be either.
  10. [url="http://www.stringbusters.com"]http://www.stringbusters.com[/url] are cheapest for me.
  11. I like them - have got some chromes (50-105) on my Jazz at the moment and usually put XLs (45-105) on the StingRay. I used to use Prosteels all the time but did find them quite coarse on the fingers plus they seemed to not have the same life that the XLs do.
  12. I've played Kev's TRB a few times and it's lovely. Kev you should put the video up from the BBC recording for people to see it .
  13. You know i'd relieve you of the TRB if I could .
  14. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ASHDOWN-ABM-500-WATT-BASS-AMPLIFIER_W0QQitemZ140206584694QQihZ004QQcategoryZ58719QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ASHDOWN-ABM-500-WATT...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Cheap as chips when you can knock up a surround for it pretty cheaply.
  15. Um I don't think the trade would be for JUST a cable ! I reckon he'll expect some cash too.
  16. I don't think they're particularly different to a normal Fender machine head bar the MusicMan logo..
  17. The newer ones are riveted on so it isn't as easy.
  18. [quote name='Danny' post='137738' date='Feb 10 2008, 06:31 PM']I've always wanted to know what the string spacing at the bridge is on these basses, any idea?[/quote] They're pretty close, I reckon no more than 17mm.
  19. It's always the same - a great solo sound rarely fits into a band. It's sometimes the case that a bad solo sound somehow just works in the full mix.. I pretty much do what David Nimrod does - my EQ is basically flat, but I boost high mids / treble about half way to full with my StingRay and leave it flat for the Jazz.
  20. A bit like this I bet:
  21. Thumbs up for Sandberg from me. I'd love a Basic KT5 or Cali P 5.. Have played a few in PMT in Birmingham and have always been impressed.
  22. What bass are you using ?
  23. I share your pain.. having tried tonyf's ASAT a couple of days ago I want one. A L2500 would suit me fantastically.. Do it !
  24. Knowing my luck i'll win my own contribution .
  25. You won't be able to run both outputs into one cab as it'd likely blow it up. Getting 2 x 4ohm cabs looks like your best bet since it's dual channel. I'm not 100% on this but if you email Guy at Ashdown he can tell you for sure [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/tech/tech_service.asp"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/tech/tech_service.asp[/url]
