I found the same and I also missed the rougher string surface when playing faster stuff ( from a plucking / picking point of view )
Im liking the RS66LD strings on my rehearsal bass they do really sound growly
In this age of wanting light cabs there are some that still like the heavier bulky cabs of the past !
Just ordered this to move around any of my bands heavy gear ( PA cabs) my bass cab etc etc
Ok so had rehearsals and the single 210h cab did it’s job but I’m going to try flipping it on its side ( both speakers vertical ) to see if it’s better for hearing it.
Have you tried this with the ABM cabs ?
I see the ABM600 head will fit and I might try it next rehearsal
I guess it will be a few inches taller so might help
Hi .. the reviews for the Rumble are very good so I’m sure this would do the job assuming the band isn’t too loud !
I play in a band playing loud rock and use a 600w head and 212 cab but my cab allows all the amp power to be used
I think the Rumble needs an extension cab to get the full 500w out of it but they do claim to be loud combos so it may be ok
Ive tried just the cabs and they are pretty decent and light in weight
Someone is selling one on this site for £400 I believe
I found when I tried flats I just didn’t like the smooth string sensation from my plucking / picking hand point
I guess years of RW and that string feedback is hard to brake
Enjoy the bass either way as I’m sure it’s lovely
Yes my first thoughts are Rotosound are brighter and more aggressive sounding but Elixir are smoother under the fingers
Also I’m back to 45-105 sets and in the case of the Elixir 85 and 105 and 80 and 105 for the Rotosound
Just got myself the Ashdown ABM210H 500w cab
The current models are 300w I believe
With my ABM600 head it’s a lovely sounding cab, might add a second cab ?
They are heavier than the Pro Neo sealed cabs but they sound very good
My first ever band pic ( first gig )
Rock originals band
Westone Thunder 1a black bass and Marshall bass rig
Still wear a sweat band but on plucking hand now
circa 1990 ??
I found them ok for some styles but didn’t work for me in rock. I know everyone says Steve Harris uses them but I prefer RW strings and about to try Rotosound 66 stainless on one bass and Elixir stainless on the other
