Machines

Hmm - I'd say go for the ABM115. You can get a full sized one here here: [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown---ABM-115~ID~1453.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...115~ID~1453.asp[/url]

People certainly do obsess about things that aren't really there.. did you tell him NJW ?

Looks like you did a good enough job of it. I did the same with my RBX775 - if you find the action too high after lowering the saddles it might be worth filing the nut a little lower too. I still need to do this with mine but haven't got myself some suitable files yet..

Ok just checked it out (day off work). A G&L 2500 Tribute is now top of my GAS list. Damn you !

There won't be any banning from me..

We have a job ?! I'm well overdue on my salary :wacko:

Happiness is a journey not a destination etc.. I think i'm relatively happy with what I have, the GAS creeps in every so often but is fended off fairly easily.. I look forward to the day where I am GASless, but then - what have I to look forward to with no gear envy ?

Will check this out when I get home - I am very intrigued by G&L's having not tried one yet..

Your logic is pretty sound. The 210 will be receiving around 200w @ 8ohm, this should be ok as long as you don't hammer it. As for distortion at low volume, it might be damaged, but i'd have thought it more prevalent at higher levels than lower. Could you borrow another head/cab to test whether it's the head or cab to blame ?

I've owned both and can honestly say i'm not too bothered..

Limited edition Ric...

But then she will expect it to be sold !

If you're suspicious of it you should check out some Ric forums to make sure the serial isn't listed as stolen.

Are you going to spill the beans on price ?

I'm inclined to agree - I don't feel there is a justified need for a separate forum.

I'll let it run for a few days until no-one bothers voting anymore - then we have our answer .

Poll added - let the public decide !

I know there's one or two owned on here.[/quote] I think CIJ are the best [i]value[/i] of all the Fender range. They're pretty much American quality at just over Mexican prices.

Adrian Ashtons The Bass Handbook [url="http://www.bassplace.com/RF015.html"]http://www.bassplace.com/RF015.html[/url] Has some stuff from our own Stuart Clayton in there too - really great book.

Well I have a 2000 MIM Jazz, which as far as Fenders go, is near the bottom of the rungs. I find it has a few flaws, but they can all be fixed fairly cheaply when I pull my finger out (new pots, possibly new pickups). Out of what you've suggested i'd go for the CIJ 70's reissue.
