I might be looking to move on two sets of Schaller S Locks in Chrome Fitted but removed off two guitars that are now sold virtually like new in boxes

I’ve fitted the new design to both my basses and the Schaller screws were larger than the original screws supplied with the bass. I like the new design but you really need to tighten the knurled nut with the through holes and when very tight lock with small grub screw. The part on the bass is very tight and a good fit so I’m happy they work very well. The older design seems to fit the new design pegs too

Ok Ashdown owners .. are you using your compressor on the amp on your RM series and what do you think of it ? Where do you have it set and why ?

Sorry you are right .. my mistake

Orange Little Bass Thing has a decent compressor built in My RM800 EVO II has one as well

At rehearsals last night I was trying different picks out Clayton Black Raven Jim Dunlop Tortex Green 0.88 Triangle as above but Yellow 0.73 The first results were the Raven is a warmer darker sounding pick and closer to finger playing. The JD Yellow Triangle was very bright and clear but a little flimsy for faster rock songs The winner is … The 0.88 was bright and clear but good for faster rock songs and was the winner for a perfect pick Ordered some more today Have a load of other picks that are no longer needed !

And in truth the drivers ( some better than others ) are under huge pressure to deliver a growing quantity of goods with heavy deadlines to achieve with very average to low wages. We have all had delivery issues but on the whole they do a pretty decent job mostly

Yep DPD one of the best and that’s why most good shops use them. Timed collection or delivery notifications and they are very near to those times always Better to pay DPD rates in my opinion for valuable items

and 10% may just about cover return postage !

Personally on a low to mid priced bass I would sell and move on Perhaps look at Yamaha or Sterling Sub as a similar priced bass and decent too. My personal fav is MIM Player Series PBass ( perfect bass for me )

They are nice cabs the Pro Neo They sound better the more I use mine I net a couple of 15’s would also sound really good

I always push the mute button in when switching off. Just tried mine and even without mute in its quiet switching off. I read your messages about the buttons and other issues .. I wonder if these were all “ B stock” models as mine from PMT has been perfect as you would expect from Ashdown and has also a very quiet fan.

Yes the input gain is higher now in your second photo About the same as mine. Is it still quiet ?

My RM800 EVO II head with output vol at 9 o clock is loud enough over a loud drummer and 4x 12 guitarist I use two 210 Pro Neo cabs Do you have your input gain very low ? Mine with a PBass is around 12 o clock Makes a huge difference to the volume of the amp

I stack my 210 Pro Neo cabs and I can hear really well now I’ve got wireless and the EQ right Tethered via cable can make you stand close to the cab / cabs and virtually hear less compared to several feet away left / right or in front Our singer uses IEM but rest of band doesn’t

Used my Line 6 G30 tonight and was very impressed For £129 new they are a bargain

Ok folks .. had band rehearsal and I took all three cabs along, the second hand Klyston 115 and my new Pro Neo 210 cabs x 2 Verdict …. Pro Neo cabs sounded better for what I wanted in the band and were very punchy yet full. The Klyston cab is very nice and deep and will fill a room easily but not as punchy and it’s heavier to carry. The Klyston will be going up for sale on here real soon I think as the Pro Neos for their size certainly packs a punch But in fairness I paid nearly £800 for my two Neo cabs so I would hope they sound half decent which they do 👍

Nice but nearly 3 x what I paid new for the G30 !

Decided to sell mine as it’s really good but not sure I need it.

Thanks Phil If it’s enough on it’s own then that would be great. Yes it’s larger than the current compact ported cabs from Ashdown so may be all I need to gig with. This may make my Pro Neo 210 cabs redundant! This is the cab in question

Yes that’s true .. the matching impedance is the easy bit, matching it with a different Ashdown design ported cab is the first question as the current compact ported is firstly rated to 300w ( this can be upgraded to 400w) but would it be better choosing the 115 cab or 210 cab ? General opinion is same speaker cab again but what if that’s no longer made ?
