    Great Amp. All the power but less of the weight. Serviced recently. Comes with TE dust cover, Pu and new castors for mobility. If you buy the bitsa P bass I have f/s too, I’ll do both for £350. Amp and bass for £350 collected or meet up. specs: Using the iconic Ashdown ABM preamp, coupled with a very special, 400 Watt, lightweight power section, bass players can enjoy pure Ashdown ABM tone in a compact and lightweight package. Handmade in the UK, Ashdown introduces the ABM-NEO-210 Combo and NEO-115 combo, both fitted with Ashdown high-frequency horns and custom Italian Sica Neodymium drivers, making the iconic line now a little bit easier to transport between shows. All combos are sized to be matched with an extension cab from the range making it easy to expand your rig.

    Chris! Haters are gonna hate! But there’s no shame in going against the grain. One of the UKs most misunderstood craftsman. You’ve got big hands, what can you do?

    Using a curriculum such as Rockschool grades can be helpful for ideas, or planning. Another thing, I was an RGT member whilst teaching and they had some helpful resources, along with a network of tutors you could share ideas with. It helped when promoting my service to students, parents and schools having RGT membership. You appear on their website, so students could see who was available in their local area. You can obviously offer on-line zoom lessons too.

    All good advice. But don’t forget to ask what a student’s goals are from the start. That helps enormously with their own motivation and makes lesson planning a lot easier. You’ve also got goals to set and aim for. Be patient. Get paid! Seriously, the amount of chasing I had to do at times was painful. Don’t show off. It may impress some, but could be a demotivator for others. Be patient. Oh and be patient. Almost forgot. Good luck

    Great little amp. Had exact same one used it with a little Eden 112 4ohm cab.

    Crowd were obviously royalists last night. 2 minutes silence after every song was a bit over the top.

    Jaco = Notorious Gail-Anne = Horsey Robert (Palmer) = Farmer
  13. oldslapper
    That Ronnie Wood is Jaco for liking the Gail Anne’s, in fact he’s a Charring Cross Robert Palmer! Gorr blimey!! There’s a lord of the flies if you get it. Oh bugger it: “That Ronnie Wood is notorious for liking the horseys, in fact he’s a horse farmer” No, you’re right. It really wasn’t worth it. 😂
  14. oldslapper
    Pardon?? sorry, no help whatsoever.
  15. oldslapper
    Could you please move closer to Bath after making one of the cases fit my Ashdown Neo 210 combo please? Not asking much really. Thanks.
  16. oldslapper
    I don’t believe it!!

    Is it that tiara on eBay, “fits small woman, no longer required”?
  18. oldslapper
    Lovely.

    Elton John “Blue Moves”. I play that album probably once a month at least, never tire of it, hear new bits each time. Slated by “fans” as it was not “pop”. Deep Purple “Come taste the band” My favourite DP album, just above “Burn”. Have zero interest in what “fans” think of either album. Feckin’ love em. David Bowie “Tonight” Generally hated by everyone including DB. Gets played by me more than any other DB album. Again, “fans” can take a leap, I love it. Basically I have no taste 😂😂😂😂 and I don’t care😝

    Please tell your “friend”….. that I’m not sure what it is to be honest. There are 2 (what look like) filled in holes on the bridge, either side of the saddle. I can’t see, feel or hear any reason for them though, but in the interest of full disclosure I mention they are there. They were there when I bought it. I have no ideas generally, so we’re all good 😂
  21. oldslapper
    It is. Just not being played. They’re rather expensive new. You’re not that far from Bath too. It’s a sign 😂
  22. oldslapper
    This is available again. All boxed up and ready to be posted, or collected. UK postage only I’m afraid. John
  23. oldslapper
    Sid James was excellent in that one. …..sorry, carry on.

    “To think that God is only in what is produced by the church, is one of the greatest deceptions”.

    I found the type of church I used to belong to to have a weird dynamic when it came to those given responsibility for running the show and the rest of us who paid their salary. They are often managing a whole system built on the good-will of volunteers. The problem I found was that managing volunteers is a skill set in itself, very different from managing paid employees with job descriptions and employment rights. Add into that they are often untrained (and often unaccountable) in human resource management and healthy communication skills. The power and authority they are given comes from the people (despite the rhetoric about it coming from “on high”). Without the will of those they direct, their job is impossible. The dynamic can get awkward when they are directing volunteers in tasks that the said volunteers are professionals, or more experienced in than themselves. I found it all very odd and disturbing on occasion. Having said that I have met one or two “leaders” that have been humble enough to see their role as carers and shepherds and not CEOs. Haven’t been to church for years, so I’m sure things are very different now. At least I hope so. And at the end of the day most people are trying their best and don’t always get it right. Peace 🙏
