I've happily gigged a single 1x12 with a loud rock band (one 4x12 and one 2x12 Guitar cab, drummer without a volume control...), albeit with PA support. It was a Baref***d Super Compact and it was superb. Others may disagree.

Cracking!

Neil Murray, Jah Wobble and Timmy C. Impressive little artist roster already. Nice one Alex

Very nice - love the little handle on the front of the Piccolo

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1463923142' post='3054973'] Here's a tip for the WT550. Don't sell yours. You will realise afterwards that it's a great amplifier - even if you do have too many amplifiers already! [/quote] I concur!

This is looking ace, lovely work

Cool I agree re the single speaker out (same on my RM800) but I believe they may have rectified that on newer production runs. I can't afford one of these (or anything right now sadly!) but know there's something else in the offing which I very much want above and beyond one of these. But it would be fun to have one

I'll bet. If I ever have money again and one comes up I might have to dip my toe in the water! Love the ABM500 so can see that this would be a bloody awesome monster

12", 6" mid and horn I believe

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1460889435' post='3029510'] I heard the 500 in action last night, plenty of grunt, drive and twang. Sounded great in the mix which is the true measure of an amp. [/quote] Yep, it really does sit very well in the mix. A nice balanced tone with no nasty boom or harsh mids. I really do love it still

Replacing the valve is easy to do yourself

[quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1463145392' post='3049010'] No idea...but I've recent;y got a Retroglide 800 and its luverly....in a 1984 way... [/quote] You need to do a NAD thread! I'm very interested to hear what these are like, as are a fair few others

Nice one Kev - cracking set up you have there

Sounds like a cracker of an amp

Very nice

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1462807088' post='3045791'] ... and so it is done [/quote] Good work. If you don't like, then, well, you know where I am.... Ahem. Damn.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1462652477' post='3044738'] Watching this with interest. Mike builds lovely basses and is a top bloke to have a natter with. [/quote] That he is. A good 11 years ago I was seeing a young lady in Brentwood and she had to work one Saturday so, at a loose end, I headed up to Mike's shop and spent a very enjoyable couple of hours noodling on various amps and cabs and he gave me a tour of the workshop. Given I only spent £50 whilst there I have to say he went way above and beyond accommodating me! Top fella, and his basses and cabs aren't bad either

Yes John East's active blend is ace. I really wanted a passive bass but Aan said exactly the same as Mike and suggested this option. It works really well and I haven't looked back

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1462654435' post='3044752'] Re Tolex Araldite it. It will outlast the cab. [/quote] Good call. It'll outlast humanity too probably

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1462653595' post='3044745'] I miss your MB Fusion, too... [/quote] Haha
