    How about a fretless version of your fretted Warwick?

    [quote name='BruceBass3901' timestamp='1388655029' post='2324334'] I believe walbassist got to play with the CTM 15 quite a lot so he may be an authority on this little amp [/quote] Hi guys Here's my tuppence worth. 1. I didn't notice any crackling pots on my head. 2. Mine wasn't hissy at all with the gain knob fully ccw, but it did increase as you turned the gain up. Not so much to be unpleasant though. 3. I [i]loved[/i] the tone with the gain knbob fully ccw, but the moment it was turned up the tone seemed to change quite dramatically. As you say, it becomes much more upper-mid and treble orientated. I guess that's just the way it is. 4. Not sure about swapping out the EL84s for something else, certainly no idea about re-biasing. I tried a set of JJs in mine (12AX7 and 5751s in the pre, EL84s for the power) and they sounded good, but certainly didn't change the core tone to any extent. Cheers Gareth

    I'd have thought Aguilar Tonehammer 500 or GB Streamliner 900 would do the job.
  9. franzbassist
    Sandberg would be my choice. Superb basses and you can pretty much order any configuration you want.

    Sold my Ashdown CTM to Mert. Excellent comms and paid up front. A pleasure to deal with, and a credit to Basschat

    This would make a perfect home for the two Tony Franklins I'm buying next week! What are the external dimensions?
  12. franzbassist
    Lovely heads these. Great core tone, a decent tone stack and all that glorious valve tone. I miss mine

    [quote name='bumnote' timestamp='1388017068' post='2317958'] You will be outdoing Clarkey soon the way you are changing amps [/quote] No one could ever challenge Clarky for that title! Actually, I am keeping my Tonehammer 500. And this amp is now sold

    [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1387907347' post='2317135'] I could only get links 1 and 4 to work. Is it just me? [/quote] Sorry guys, they are from a review in Germany. They load okay for me, but you can find them [url="http://www.bonedo.de/artikel/einzelansicht/ashdown-ctm-100-test.html"]here[/url].

    That's me (I've looked better!), and the 1 pu bass was mine. It actually sounded really good, although I can't for the life of me remember why it had the usual four knob setup!

    Hello folks I've decided to sell this wonderful all-valve head. I've only had it for a short time, but to be honest it's just too much for my current gigging needs (I play in a band with acoustic guitars, mandolins and banjo, so rocking up with this is a bit of overkill!). All the detail is [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amplification/1/Valve/10/CTM100/"]here[/url]. It's 19kg, so substantial but not stupid heavy. Condition is perfect apart from one small nick in the tolex on the front (easy repair with a dab of glue). It's just come back from Ashdown who gave it a clean bill of health. Currently carrying a set of stock JJ valves, it features an easy bias system so the owner can bias newly-fitted valves themselves. These are £1300 new in the UK, or you can buy from Thomann for £970. I bought it ex-demo from Germany, so am happy to pass on the good deal I got from there to the BC community, so it's a firm[b] £785 collected [/b]from NE Hampshire, £800 with basic courier in the UK (fully insured adds another £15). Only trades I'd be interested in are for a nice P bass, or a Bergantino HD210. Happy Christmas all Gareth

    [quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1387465438' post='2312306'] Hey Garret I can get a new one for about £20 shipped, if your deal is better PM me please. Cheers Edit: found another shop close to me selling a new JJ 5751 for less than 20€ shipped so i ordered one. [/quote] Cool. Glad you got sorted.
