    @eude and I have given up asking….
  2. Merton
    Still trying to work that out myself!
  3. Merton
    Did it sound better than the other day when you weren’t happy with it?

    The ABM 600 EVO IVs are UK built too I believe. So even fewer reasons!
  5. Merton
    Ah! I was there too and only managed to ID the ABM! I loved the rigs being labelled Low, Lower and Lowest 😀

    Eddie’s just bought my Ashdown OriginAL preamp pedal. Absolute gent, pleasure to deal with 🙂

    Knowing the supply issues the company I work for is facing I can only imagine how this affects small builders such as Handbox. We’re the biggest manufacturer of pressure gauges in the world and have things on 6 month+ lead times at the moment Damn good price for the WB-100 mind you - even with the duty on top. Soooo enticing 😬

    Are you able to make this year’s SE Bass Bash? Would love a crash course in compression if you are able to 😀

    Show us your rig!

    Merton replied to ped's topic in Gear Gallery

    Nice! Yep I think those early red-face MAG heads used the exact same power amp as the ABM 👍🏻

    Is it wrong to want this only to defret it? 😲
  11. Merton
    Could well just be crappy hall acoustics, guitars and drums eating into your frequency range and making it feel like you were lacking in heft… Those sorts of gigs are not fun!
  12. Merton
    That’s very surprising and I can understand your disappointment- that rig should be tearing down walls! Fingers crossed you’ve got another gig soon to restores your faith like you say 🤘🏻

    Peavey website currently says “available in September” 😞

    Chris just bought an MXR bass compressor pedal from me and was an absolute gent to deal with 👍🏻

    TBH I think the mids are cut a bit more there than normal! Bass is essentially a jazz bass

    FWIW this is roughly my EQ/valve settings on an ABM500 and I reckon the tone you’ve described is the sort of thing I go for too:

    If I get anywhere with it I’ll let you know - maybe it would help the cause of two of us are after the same thing 😎
  18. Merton
    Crank the input gain (don’t worry about the Vu meter; ignore it in fact), crank the valve. If it’s a 500 that means the valve adds a bit of a nice harmonic warmth and not a huge amount of dirt, but IMO it does what it does perfectly. Preshape button IN (opposite of what you’d expect) Boost the low mids Give that a whirl
  19. Merton
    Ah nice. Will do exactly that
  20. Merton
    I emailed these guys about a smaller 100W head (along the lines of Handbox/HotAmps size) but never heard back

    Pearl Jam, Hyde Park next Friday 🤘🏻🤘🏻
  22. Merton
    It’s embarrassingly bad isn’t it. Ah well.
  23. Merton
    Get the impression he thinks he’s Steve Jobs announcing the first iPhone. It’s a bass cab….
  24. Merton
    That was one of the reasons I decided not to find €3.5k down the back of the sofa 😅 Love the amp, would be amazing but the gigs I’m playing I would constantly be fussing about its safety 🤓
  25. Merton
    Exactly what I needed to do ☹️
