  1. Very cool! Definitely want to try this baby out
  2. Love these!
  3. Especially the bit about hugging I hope. 😂 (now edited my original post, boring)
  4. Sorry for the delay in replying, been manic! When I had the CTM100 I gigged it with either one or two Barefaced Super Compact cabs or an Ashdown VS212. All these cabs are quite efficient, but I never had a completely clean tone (nor was I aiming for one). Two Super Compacts was the best though in terms of volume and clarity and I would dearly love to have that rig again. One day maybe...

    Rig help

    Ashdown amp - there’s an ABM 500 EVO II on the classifieds here for a very good price Barefaced cab - probably a Two10 or if it can stretch to it a Four10. Boom. Plummy punch with some grit.
  6. I do believe these were designed by Paul Stevens (of Trace Elliot V8 and 2005 relaunch fame) though I may be wrong!
  7. Nice! The Elf is a cracking little toy isn’t it
  8. I hope so, I’m talking to Adrian about a nice little 32” Elwood at the moment
  9. Never got into Revolt as much as Pure but this thread has reminded me to go listen to them again! I remember seeing them in Leeds when they reformed, Chris McCormack had a massive strop because the other guitarist basically gave up playing as he couldn’t hear himself. That was fun! Gonna go find their albums now...
  10. I’ll join the trip too please, many goodies I’d like to steal ahem try out
  11. Happy to be corrected! I was completely ambiguously referring to the ABM series when I said about final assembly, I know your (bloody lovely) valve amps are all hand built in Essex still 👍🏻
  12. After you please Gareth, if possible!
  13. That’s essentially it, yes. This combo has a single red led which has the same function as the red led on the traffic light system of the SMX series. When it starts flashing, back the gain down a notch or two. EQ changes will affect when this starts to clip
  14. Me too. Black or chrome depending on the rest of the bass thank you!
  15. Crikey if this had been the short scale version I’d have been in trouble! Serious bargain and Steve is a top chap
  16. Mr Button did Series 6 to SMX / 12 band I believe, and Ashdown for the first 10 years or so I think
  17. The narrower one is a 100W combo without additional speaker output. There’s also a 200W 12 band version of this size
  18. Yep, Series 6 then the 7 band went to SM and 12 band to SMX. When Gibson took over the SM became SMC
  19. Get the gain as high as you can, the hotter the signal in the preamp the better. Much like a Ashdown funnily enough given their heritage
  20. Alex recommended the 3x10 solution for me a couple of months back; I went down the One10 plus SC route in the end for various reasons and I am very happy You can get a Two10 made with the logo in the correct orientation - discreet did exactly that
  21. Another vote for the One10, it’s astonishingly good
  22. It’s cracking Mike, really good for the money and size! Hopefully can get a loud rock rehearsal under its belt this week to see what the prospects are for those sorts of gigs...
  23. That’s a completely different beast from the 100, it is a solid state preamp for one!
  24. There’s one on Facebook for £600 at the mo.... edit - here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/689090051102626/permalink/1760003814011239/?sale_post_id=1760003814011239
  25. It is the best bass amp I’ve ever used. One day I’ll own another when I can afford it
