Just bought an Ashdown CTM100 from Gareth, fantastic comms and a real gent to deal with. Cheers!

[quote name='=^..^=' timestamp='1388102293' post='2318628'] I've got one of these. It's not the classic amps I'm seeing so far on the thread but still all valve [/quote] Nice! Not sure I recognise it though, what model is it? I'm collecting a CTM100 tomorrow, can't wait

In: Eden D112NXST Eden EX112 Barefaced Super Compact (well, paid for this year, collecting on Jan 3rd 2014...) Ashdown CTM100 Out: Zoot 112 Eden D112NXST Eden EX112 So after 2012 where I studiously avoided doing anything I've pretty much gone back to my bad self this year. Kind of expecting, in the next year, to get another Super Compact and sell my S12, but we'll see Also want a Status Electro but that will be difficulty methinks

Bass related - My Bass And Other Animals by some apparently quite famous bass player And I am (hopefully) treating myself to some valvey goodness Non bass related just enjoyed giving my son and nephew some cool toys I can play with, like scalextric and WiiU games

Bit late to the party here, but I'm going with High'n'Dry, from Def Lep before they went pop. My favourite of their records.

The whole thing is dull. People who defend get called fanbois, people who don't like them feel they're attacked when they put across their (sometimes ill informed) view. Boring. Let's talk about something else. Quite why I posted today I don't know but if you ever see me post in a Barefaced thread again please shoot me. EDIT: if we all liked the same things the world would be dull. I'm all for people having their views and frankly welcome reasonable debate about anything, as long as it's based on experience and fact it's all lovely

Not really, just pointing out shortcomings in an argument is all If people don't like the cabs it is absolutley fine but, as with any product, tarring current models with the same brush as previous models is a bit daft. I would expect people would be [i]crucified[/i] if they said they hated Fender because in 1982 they played a particularly sh*t one and haven't played anything by them since...

DarkLord - all you have said is the quality of your 5 year old cab wasn't up to scratch and it felt like it was built by a man in a shed. It was. The new cabs are in a different league, so to comment on current quality, when you haven't seen them, is crass ,IMO

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1387365732' post='2311070'] The reason I don't lust after one is that by all accounts they are very crisp, HiFi sounding cabs[/quote] A common mistake. Not at all true. There are a variety from which to select your favoured tonal palette

Surely just a simple "I have tried a few and didn't like their core tone"? Edit; I guess the closest is "Meh. I'm fine with others liking them, but - having tried them - they are not for me." Edit edit; of course anyone who thinks that is completely wrong, a total w***er, and must burn in the fires of Mount Doom for eternity

[quote name='Protium' timestamp='1386960951' post='2306946'] I wonder how long a BF would last getting thrown in and out of a van twice a day. [/quote] 3 years and going strong

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1386772278' post='2304288'] The troublesome handles, the dodgy feet, the spewing of foam, the Radio Shack looks. [/quote] Handles is a non issue IMO, I have had it with all cans which use those handles. And they have been addressed on the Gen 3 cabs. Dodgy feet has been fixed with Gen 3. Aesthetics is entirely personal opinion and quite dull to keep having the same argument. Foam exploding is a bit of a concern though, and I'd want to have a look inside to see what's going on Let's not degenerate into another BF lovers vs haters thread

BIt odd! Drop Alex a line definitnely, he'll probably want to see the cab!

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1386622109' post='2302383'] Does anyone have any opinions about Compact vs Big Baby 2? The used prove of the compacts is appealing! [/quote] Depends on where you're coming from cab-wise whether the Compact will be right. There are a lot of people who like them and a lot more who don't, the lack of tweeter means it doesn't sit "right" for everyone.

Love what I've heard of this band, great stuff and I hope they find a great player

Groan...

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1386161761' post='2296525'] I just had a quick read through this. So much negativity... they are nice cabs, sound decent and what not. If you don't want to wait, dont. Go buy an Ashdown/Ampeg/Blah blah blah - it's well known the timescales these take. If you prefer the sound of a TC - Good - use that, prefer the sound of Behringer? Awesome. Use that. Aren't opinions great eh? Life would be sh*te if we all loved the same gear. This whole site seems to be filled with grumpy buggers and nay sayers. It's a totally depressing read nowadays. All IMO before I get shot down in flames by the usual suspects. [/quote] All of this
