Mr . Russ's Sei. That shezney is the beznay, as some might say.

What's a fair price for a second hand pedulla rapture over here? I had a go selling mine towards the end of last year but had no luck...and I'm now wondering if it was because I was over ambitious with the price. it's a 5er in the SB config, so what would be fair? Cheers, Ash

Damn! Unlucky dude. Throw it back at whoever you bought from and get a new one/refund... You gonna go for another ashdown or go with something else?

Yeah I know there won't be an issue brand wise, I was just wondering if anyone had run the same combo. Cheers Ash

More or less what the name says, anyone have opinions on this combo? More specifically, an evo ii ABM 500 and an SVT 8x6. Cheers, Ash

[quote name='presoulnation' post='17728' date='Jun 14 2007, 05:27 PM']I love the geetars. I'm big into the Steph Carpenter models and they play really really nice. Not so keen on the basses though.[/quote] Ah man I've always wanted to play one of those! What they like?

My bass teacher basically said that he'd taken me as far as he could with bass guitar, and being the jazz and soul fiend that he is he decided to start me on double bass (this was two years ago). Bless 'im lol I love the guy. Really talented bloke, if anyone lives in Oxfordshire and wants lessons I can give you his deets. I reckon you should go for lessons mate, it manages to be an entirely different beast to the bass guitar, yet somehow oddly manages to make you feel at home. You won't regret it. While I play bass guitar more than double bass, it's still shummat I definitely won't be giving up in the near future. My 2 cents

Hi there, Pretty base question but hey... What's the difference between a tweeter and a horn in a cabinet? And how does this affect tone? Thanks for any help Ash

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='16067' date='Jun 12 2007, 09:53 AM']has ABM production (and the new stuff - can't remember what it's called) switched to China as well?[/quote] Hi, Yeah, the ABM series is now manufactured in china, though there are some new british made ABM's floating around, you just gotta look for them. The Klystron heads and Neo cabs are still made in the UK though. Hope that helps...

[quote name='NJW' post='15638' date='Jun 11 2007, 03:09 PM']exactly. I hope one day he tries to pile 20 of them, vertically, and the whole thing comes crashing down on top of his root notes.[/quote] meow...!

From what I've played: looks the mutts nutts, plays and finished like sh!t. However I've only ever played the lower-mid end LTD's, so I can't really judge on anything higher than that. Love the guitars tho...

One word - wishbass.

it's in the for sale bit...

[quote name='Spikyhedgehog' post='14920' date='Jun 10 2007, 01:50 AM']Ashdown ABM 810, and I want it. Damn exams. [/quote] lol what he said...

Ah cool, well good luck anyways

I'm considering putting an 8x10 on ebay, though these really aren't shifting on the 'bay at the moment. Anyone have any particular theories as to why? Cheers, Ash

[quote name='joegarcia' post='14106' date='Jun 8 2007, 12:01 PM']Good grief that is beautiful![/quote] +1. niiiiiiice!

[quote name='Mr Mike' post='12106' date='Jun 4 2007, 10:05 PM']I was 16 stone (I’m now under 14)[/quote] Repect... Glad to hear you're back on the bass but sorry to hear about the knees. Get well soon!

Also one of my mates got a huuuuuuuuge box from the local supermarket, could try there as well.

Generally I'd say go to your store, but as that isn't an option try your local courier depo, they always have boxes around and one of my local ones sells them. Hope that helps Ash

[quote name='jacko' post='11677' date='Jun 4 2007, 08:46 AM']Joe Osborn played bass on pretty much all the Mamas and Papas albums.[/quote] ah, I didn't know that! well you learn something every day eh? also a +1 for James Leach, absolutely great guy, got to meet him after a gig! Also he uses some exceptionally nice basses (see pic) methinks it's a custom christ macintyre (spelling?) jazz. Could someone give me the correct spelling of that? I think he's based in London, he makes some very nice basses, I'd like to track him down again... loverly... Ah! Found the bass website on his myspace...

I'll be honest when I read the title I was thinking of that "Spinal Tap" moment at the army base...I'm now slightly disappointed Yeah I'd just say try throwing some tin foil on it...
