Hey peeps, I’ve only had a combo amp with headphone and aux input so I don’t know how to solve this. I am looking to upgrade my bass rig. Some amps I have tried and really liked doesn’t have a headphone input(ashdown ABM evo IV & tone hammer). Is there a way/hack to connect headphones to the amp so I can still get the functions of the amp while practicing at night when I can’t use cab? I have a pre-amp pedal (NUX MLD preamp DI) which I know you can connect into input jack of amp or effects loop. Not looking to do this if possible as it sounds very different. noob question I know but I don’t know this info. cheers

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No worries. yeah they said the same thing. They have a genz Benz streamliner 900. Wow it sounds beautiful. Makes me realise how good the ashdown ABM evo iv line is. im more lost on what amp I want now 😖😫. Eich and gk are good also

I’m in the bass gallery now and the amp you want is infront of me. Call them

gotcha. Such a shame we still have these kind of people around.

Weird I get this. I’ve posted in the Wanted section before

I just went to post in the wanted thread and i cant find it. Has it been removed?

Oh, You called up? yes you most definitely need to call up as they don’t update site tbh.

I relate regarding to responses tbh. I have posted loads about certain pick ups but no response.

I’m sure the bass gallery has one or the 750 for sale. I check their site daily.

You are right. It’s the same bass and same feel from Freddie. His touch never changes.

I find a lot have pickup only. I’m based in south london so Crawley wasn’t a problem to get to. I was just unsure about not being able to turn off the tweeter. what did you get in the end?

They definitely are light. The 58r cdm 121p seemed like a toy regarding weight when I picked it up.

I played this exact combo. Missed a complete steal on eBay a few days ago.

Lmao 🤣.

Had to share this. It’s Harvey mason- chameleon band at the Java jazz festival. Freddie’s playing is so good. Pocket legend but so groovy. He has the special sauce. I LOVE how he makes those Bartolini’s sing. Wow. Kamasi is a legend in my eyes. enjoy. I did.

Meeting a local BC’er to try a setup is a great idea actually. I’m on the fence between ashdown and Markbass.

I went to Denmark street central London is rose morris and tried the ashdown ABM600. First ashdown amp I’ve ever tried. Wow the DEPTH in sound. Played my pbass (Asian ash with maple neck). Amazing character. my question is how does the compare? I would It could have been me not knowing the amp but it didn’t sparkle in the top end more of a rolled off vibe. I play mostly finger style funk.

I tried the new line in central london at wunjo’s. Their site says they don’t have any in stock, but they have everything in store. The new line have a plastic looking casing rather than the wood with cloth over. I’m no great knowledge on cabs and head but I have played the new and old versions on the search for my new setup. Sounded cool. I tried the 58r 12” combo and the had the mini version which doesn’t have the plastic casing. Both sounded great. They have different amps in them. It’s weird you can’t turn off the tweeter in either. I tried the ashdown abm600 evo iv and WOW. Also loved the sound of ampeg pf-500. I play pbass dead roto’s finger style funk.

This little thread has been insightful. On the weekend I was looking at the eich t-500 and 900, mesa d-800 and the v2 of Aguilars amp demos. ossyrocks is so right about having to make a leap of faith more often than we would like. Sad thing for me as I’m not great buying blind lmao.

This is interesting. I play a pbass with roto 66 dead rounds. I was looking to pick up the 10 inch BF cab but wasn’t sure on amp. Mitch Friedman who works for labella plays pbass, flats and berg. Tone is INSANE. I’ll drop you a PM to pick your brain
