[quote name='BigBeatNut' post='794610' date='Apr 2 2010, 08:14 PM']Verrry nice ... but 30 watts ? There's one tiny venue I go to where I take a 90 watt amp ... but I can't imagine using anything as low as 30. What's the context ? Big Band lineup ? Acoustic guitars ? Andy[/quote] I've just sold my ashdown Five Fifteen Mini rig, that's 100 Watt with 210 cab. This gives 10 times the sound that does, (in a non scientific sort of way). I've got a Peavey Windsor Studio all vave guitar amp that gives out 18 watts ish - that's loud! My mate's just got a £2.5K Roland drum kit, can't remember what amp he's using but we'll see how the three sound together soon enough. EDIT: I think it's the [url="http://www.igotmusic.co.uk/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=TD-12K-WH"]Roland TD 12 KV[/url] & [url="http://www.igotmusic.co.uk/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=PM-30"]PM 30[/url] - Oh dear! [quote name='pantherairsoft' post='794619' date='Apr 2 2010, 08:31 PM']Wattage doesn't really mean much between manufacturers.. My EBS Session 60 is a 60w 1x10 and is about 3 times as loud as my good friends 100w 1x15 (might be a 1x12, I forget) Fender Rumble. It's not so much the wattage, more how the technology behind the amp drives them.[/quote] Exactly! Valves rule I tried the Fender rumbles 112 & 210 - not impressed. [quote name='Beedster' post='794631' date='Apr 2 2010, 08:45 PM']Looks lovely. So if this is a loud 30W, what rating speaker is it going to need. Would my 100W/4ohm 1x15 take it? Chris[/quote] That should be fine Chris, I was looking at the Schroeder 115 until Ashdown came up trumps with their 112.

[quote name='Clarky' post='794591' date='Apr 2 2010, 07:56 PM']The head looks very cool - how many Watts and how loud will it go? Apologies for my ignorance, I know nothing about this new line[/quote] Only 30 lovely red hot glowing watts, it's as loud as I will ever need! That's why I got Ashdown to build me a custom 112, plenty! A bit like my car it's big & comfy with a V6 motor & an electronic limiter at 155mph (apparently) but we have a 70mph national speed limit (don't we).

[quote name='alexharvay' post='794553' date='Apr 2 2010, 07:05 PM']Wow, that amp is so shiny you can just about see it's Trace Elliot roots shining through.[/quote] Yep - well spotted Funny enough - I've got it perched on top of my old faithful Boxer 65 too [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='794555' date='Apr 2 2010, 07:09 PM']I like the look of that! How does it compare to your solid state stuff? Always faniced an all-valve setup for certain jobs.[/quote] So far I'd say it's absolutely fabulous, I can't stop playing! It makes the budget SS stuff I've had look & sound like toys, it's everything I hoped for real 'old skool kool' [quote name='budget bassist' post='794569' date='Apr 2 2010, 07:26 PM']How much did that cost? If you don't mind my asking. Looks pretty cool.[/quote] It cost me hours of graft selling stuff I didn't need any more on here & ebay + a bit outstanding on my credit card A real bargain compared to what alternatives I was considering like a Markbass 1210 or Jeff Berlin, which by the way sound like expensive toys & very 'plastic' by comparison IMO. Now [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-Little-Bastard~ID~12949.asp"]That's a bargain![/url]

As new as a very new shiny thing - straight from the factory - Ashdown Little Bastard No.1 & LB112 Custom Cab No.1. Both Hand Made in Chelmsford Yes it sounds fabulous - not a transistor or an IC to be found Now I'm happy & I've got a lovely glow

spinynorman; Great guy to deal with, I sold a '51P bridge cover to Phil, easy - good communication & instant payment. Cheers, John

Have to let us know what its like...[/quote] First impressions = everything else is just a toy! This is the real deal, nothing comes even close to them valves glowin & chuckin tone out by the truck load! Old skool kool Ashdown have a real little winner on their hands I reckon!

[quote name='chriswilliams666' post='788210' date='Mar 27 2010, 10:10 PM']Hey Guys I got a parts bass i am trying to wire together a Seymour Duncan SJB-3b and SPB-3 (Standard PJ Pickups) I would like to wire these two two volumes, no tone control straight to the socket. I have wired them up as i think, but i just get the pickups both on at the same time, and the volumes dont work. Can anyone help?[/quote] Hey Chris - sorry I didn't see this sooner, I've just re-wired my Frank Bello with the same pups & new pots. If you're still having trouble please give me a shout. Cheers, John

[quote name='alhbass' post='789049' date='Mar 29 2010, 12:32 AM']I bought a 2009 US Fender Jazz recently on this site - it's great and I love it - but it didn't come with case or any case candy. So I consequently don't have the allen keys to fit the bridge intonation and action height adjusters. I've tried loads of my own, and tho I can kinda get them to work none fits perfectly. What's going on there? Do Fender make them to their own "special" size, just so you have to buy theirs perhaps? Happy to do so if necessary - where can I get them from? Or if they are a standard size after all, can anyone enlighten me as to what they are? Thanks for your help...[/quote] I'm a firm believer in having the right tools for the job & that's often worth paying a little bit extra for, rather than 'the cheapest you can find in the world' from cheap jack shops! They often don't fit properly anyway & you'll end up with knackered screws. Here's a link to the good sort: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hexagon-Allen-Key-Screwdriver-Wrench-1-16-Ball-Ended_W0QQitemZ150413742411QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Hand_Tools_Equipment?hash=item23055b914b"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hexagon-Allen-Key-Sc...=item23055b914b[/url] If it's a standard Fender bridge it should be a 1/16" some like the BadAss are 1/20" or .05" Cheers, John

Straightforward sale of pedal, excellent guy to deal with, great communication & payment exactly as & when promised. Cheers Frog - enjoy!

[quote name='Dirtydave77' post='785377' date='Mar 25 2010, 12:28 AM']Good evening people! Just need to get some help before buying a little combo. I am after a 30watt (or there about), bass combo. Trouble is, I am after an amp with a wide range of sounds. Looking for an amp that will give me some old school, phat 70's bass sounds, Jazzy, blues. Right through to a more modern rock/metal sounds from bands of today. If there is anyone out there that could point me in the right direction. That wouls be great Cheers David[/quote] How much do you want to spend? If 'notalot' have a look for a s/h Trace Elliot Boxer, they're often on thebay! Hard to beat for the money, mine cost me about £75 - worth 3 or 4 times that I reckon in sound per pound There's 30 Watt into 10" speaker or 65 /12". I'm using a 65 watt set flat mostly - gain, bass mid & treble at 12 o'clock, volume usually around 9 o'clock & it's a great sound. Cheers, John

[quote name='4 Strings' post='787752' date='Mar 27 2010, 11:55 AM']Just had a look and mine are slightly different. I've seen an old pic advertising a Precision and the position of the silk varied with the string to be longer as it goes from E to G to match the Fender type headstock. With the silk as shown in your picture the strings are generic and would fit any 34" bass. I was hoping mine would be the Fender specific type, hinting they may be original but the silk doesn't start until a few rounds of the capstan. I think it'll take a while to get used to playing with flats, its a sound I have been careful to avoid for >30 years hence countless sets of Swing Bass![/quote] Don't forget mine in picture above - Frank Bello bass - are strung through body so you can see 1" or so longer silks before the machine head than bridge strung. I just shot these - GHS 3060 strings on a 34" scale P bass, & 35" scale Skjold both hipshot bridges.
