Ashdown feedback...having has to use the 600w Ashdown head at SKegness the other weekend through an Ashdown 2x15 cab, I was expecting something decent, boy was I disappointed, had to dime the input gain and master volume to get somewhere close to audible, underwhelmed.com

 

presumably there was summat amiss with the rig but as it was festival backline it wasn't my place to tinker

Doesn't sound right. I regularly use an ABM 500 and Berg 215 and it punches like a mule. Sounds like a typical festival/house backline issue and could have been: compressor on or turned up (will reduce output), shape button engaged (no mids), EQ disengaged (big vol drop) or a horrible mixture of these issues. Maybe, dare I say, shagged out gear. 

Probably the cab. Put them with a decent cab (Berg, Barefaced, et al) and they are epic

@Quilly I’d be inclined to save the money and use your Two10 in portrait orientation

Noisy good fun. Pub rock covers but a generally more modern take on it, none of the usual suspects until the last few songs. A lot of stuff people wouldn’t necessarily know beforehand.

One lovely little faux pas turned out quite well… We forgot to switch the main PA on for the second set, so the vocals were only coming out of the monitors. Happily they were so f-ing loud it actually worked fine, and balanced better because we weren’t overloading the PA with the guitars and drums as well. Actually sounded better apparently 🤣🤣

Pub gig, wheeled out the big guns.

I suspect standard is whichever parts they’re able to get per production batch!

Bump. Had some interest, and some interesting offers, but still here. Wife’s car is semi-fixed but needs more work… this needs to find a good home!

Oh my days. If this miraculously survives the night unsold I’ll be having words with my missus about a detour next week.

Just bought two Hercules wall hangers from Phil; an absolute pleasure to deal with. Super quick comms and delivery 👌🏻

This is a great cab, at a great price, from a great guy. What’s not to like 😀

James Taylor Quartet in February 

Always a great show!

Next for me is Those Damn Crows in Feb with a group of friends. And then again in March, a week later, with MiniMert 😀

Superb cabs!

Will listen to sensible offers

Nothing sounds like it

This looks very cool indeed. Thankfully we’ll out of my price range and I’m very happy with my Trace head but… nice!

Withdrawn. Too good to sell.

GLWTS, I've just acquired one of these and it's awesome. 

Pretty sure you *need* a second one …. 😎

Replaced by the Digbeth range which, by all accounts, is very good indeed

Nope, things arriving this year are only exempt if they were paid for (by you) in 2022.  From now on, only unprompted gifts from others are allowed.

So I’m likely out then! Boo

I’m in, with the caveat that I’m already in discussions to buy an expression pedal but with one thing and another the purchase has been pushed into this year. Is that allowed?

The only thing which may push me off the wagon this year is if the 100W Stoneham comes to fruition. Other than that I genuinely do not want or need anything for once….

Mine is noisy but I only notice it at home; in a gig setting there’s plenty of other stuff noisier.

In comparison the fan on the TE-1200 is whisper-quiet

Slightly above your budget but a bloody good cab by all accounts:

That is SO beautiful!

If it was a 30 inch I would sell a body part, but 32 just does not suit my fretting hand (Does a bad bassest blame her scale length!?).

GLWTS!

S'manth x

Scale length is a very personal thing - I can’t get on with anything beyond 32” nowadays! Nothing to do with blaming your tools 🤓

This is very much a feeler; the ACG Mule I have for sale hasn’t moved so seeing if there’s more interest in this.
 

What we have here a gorgeous example of Alan’s exotic wood options - the “Fractal Mac” ebony top is crazy cool, different and interesting. When I specced this bass I was playing relatively regularly with an 80s rock band; the original plan was a stained black body but seeing this top on Alan’s Instagram brought in some spec creep…

So, the specs:

5 string (low B)

32” scale

White limba body, fractal mac top

3-piece ash neck with carbon rods, asymmetric neck carve

Rosewood board, zero radius

Reverse 1+4 headstock with matching fractal mac veneer

2x ACG Overwound reverse PB ceramic pickups (essentially a P split pickup in a soap bar case, and reversed so treble side is nearer the neck)

East/ACG P-Retro with active/passive switch, 4-way pickup select switch (bridge, both parallel, both series, neck)

Hipshot B-type bridge, 17mm string spacing

Gotoh tuners

Currently strung with Newtone nickel strings

Comes with Warwick Rockbag

Price is for collection from Horley, Surrey. Postage not possible as I don’t have any suitable boxes, sorry!

A few options in the classifieds, the last one is the most compact
