    Be interesting to get OBBM in on this thread and he loves his amps both old and new school, and has recently bought the GK MB Fusion micro head that has three 12ax7s in it.

    Remember the car ad that said "power is nothing without control"? Our version in this discussion might be "volume is nothing without weight"?!

    The digital amp debate is an interesting one.... I used a Streamliner for a bit and really liked the tone, but like a fool I sold it Had a wonderful Demeter preamp/Crown power amp setup a while back that sounded just incredible. I sold the Crown as it was so heavy and replaced it with a Peavey IPR 1600 2u digital power amp, and that didn't sound half as good. But then I also had an Epifani Quest pre with a Peavey DPC1400X 1u digital power amp and that was lush beyond. Not sure what this tells us, apart from the fact that I change gear too much!!!!

    Not mandolin, but tenor guitar, bouzouki and octave mando here! The Chordie webiste lets you convert their chord charts to mandolin shapes, so that's a real help.

    I am too lazy to read the whole thread again.... Has anyone tried the 220? If so, what's the volume ouput like?

    Will investigate posting if it secures a sale

    Hi Ian I'm in Alton, and you are more than welcome to try my JC. In fact, I'm gigging in Guildford on Saturday so we might be able to hook up then? cheers Gareth

    Hi Nick I checked just now (forgot to do it last night ) and I'm afraid I don't still have the string. Sorry. Gareth

    Not much help I suspect Barrie, but my 1988 MIJ P bass has allen key adjusters for the bridge height.

    Price drop to £450 collected

    [quote name='jembullo' timestamp='1328532731' post='1528510'] Shame your not splitting, I'm after the 1x15 in this format. Jem [/quote] Sorry, but I don't want to end up with just the one cab.

    [quote name='nick' timestamp='1328475776' post='1527806'] P.S. Alternatively if anyone has a spare .070 D string, please let me know [/quote] Hi Nick I might have one spare. Let me check tonight and I'll get back to you!

    I sold a P bass pickup cover to Dave. Excellent communication and a pleasure to deal with.

    May well not be your kind of music, but this is me playing my BSX through an LB30 and LB212 cab. Note that I have lower gain tubes in the preamp to keep it cleaner at volume. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nr-g4_6S6U[/media]

    Too much amp stuff so a rationalisation beckons! Here we have two Ashdown Mini Neo cabs, the 4x8 is rated 1000 watts and the 1x15 350 watts, and each cab is 8 ohms impedance. Both cabs are 585cm tall, 47.5cm wide and 33.5cm deep, the 1x15 weighs 21kg and the 4x8 is 25kg, Pictures below, courtesy of the previous owner (hope he won't mind), but both are in superb condition and have Roqsolid covers. Square handles on side, not round. [b]£450 firm[/b] collected from NE Hampshire. No trades, unless you have the larger Classic Series Neo 2x10 and/or 1x15 cabs, and not willing to split at this time. UPDATE: Shipping options added 21/2/12

    I should add that I'm firm on the price.
  19. franzbassist
    Do you have any Thumpinators in stock at the moment Max?
  20. franzbassist
    I haven't had this long, got it just before Christmas, but I am tempted to go back to a separate pre/power amp setup so testing the water. All the skinny about these amps is on the Ashdown site [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=dt&ID=247"]here[/url], but essentially what we have is the Dual Tube preamp (12AX7 and 12AU7) with an ABM power stage. Lovely warm tube tones, bags of power, what's not to like? You can hear the very amp in my clip below (forgive my inane babble, it was a spur of the moment thing to record it!): [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8QibZQbxSc[/media] Cheapest I've found these new is £469, so I am looking for [b]£400 posted in the original box or £390 collected (NE Hampshire or Central London)[/b], and I'll include a Roqsolid cover worth £28 too. Cheers Gareth

    Just fitted one to my Jack Casady, sourced through Skelf (Alan of ACG) through this very forum. Haven't given it a good workout yet so can't comment on any sonic changes, but there's a great improvement in sustain, plus the ability to adjust each string's height more comprehensively is a big plus for me. Recommended.

    SOLD pending the usuals....

    Hi folks So I bought this cover to go on my 1970 P bass, but now I've sourced an original one this is available for sale. This one was aged by Madison's Music Store in the US, who specialise in aging parts. They did a nice job. Pefect for an old Fender! Anyway, £20 posted 2nd class RD, aged fitting screws also included! Cheers Gareth

    Great basses, I had a sunburst one which was terrific, and as you say the low Bs are great. I'd love this, but no spare cash....
  25. franzbassist
    Superb basses, shouldn't be here long.
