    Holy moly 😍 I think I prefer the tort but both look superb 🙂

    https://www.andertons.co.uk/ashdown-original-500h-bass-amp-head ETA: that would be my immediate thought. It sounds lush on the Andertons YouTube video. And the EQ will feel familiar from the RM head.

    I’d go second hand and get a decent brand name
  4. Merton
    Indeed. They’re good (I have a soft spot for Those Damn Crows and Tax The Heat) but they’re not next level good I don’t think sadly.
  5. Merton
    Haha sorry I didn't read your original post properly It's certainly something to consider isn't it...

    Similar theme to this thread (though that is focussed on British bands only):
  7. Merton
    There are a reasonable few decent new(ish) UK bands - whether they can make the leap is another matter entirely. To name a few...: Those Damn Crows The Dust Coda Tax The Heat Mason Hill Massive Wagons

    I would agree, I've had two basses with Barts and the are lovely, lovely pickups but rude is not a term I'd associate with them.
  9. Merton
    Nordstrand would be top of my choices I think

    Yep, their Instagram page is pure filth, I’m lucky my Argentinian friend isn’t still there or my bank account would be very heavily in the red 😅

    Nicole Row who plays for Panic At The Disco is bloody great. I could mention Tal Wilkenfeld too but she probably gets a lot of attention already…

    Cass Lewis Robert DeLeo and more but it’s early and my brain isn’t yet switched on
  13. Merton
    Wow! 😍
  14. Merton
    Pretty sure this will be the case with the Little Stubby. Proceed with caution!
  15. Merton
    That’s good, I’m out too!
  16. Merton
    Me too. Uh-oh 😅
  17. Merton
    This is bloody great! FWIW I prefer the original pickup cover and bridge matching the neck-thru

    TBH I’m not sure what power stage the Original uses; I’d guess it’s the same ICEPower board that the RM500 uses but couldn’t be sure one way or the other. The Original 300... less sure again but I have a vague recollection that Mark Gooday hinted it WASN’T an ICEPower board for once.
  19. Merton
    Yes. My wallet is sweating and it’s not just the heat 😅 PS also contemplating the Pro Neo cabs argh

    There’s a demo on the Andertons YouTube channel of the RM and the Original head; my personal feeling is the Original 500 head has a sweeter sounding EQ than the RM but the RM has the drive, sub and compressor which make it more versatile as a standalone head. Depends on how you do all your tone shaping I guess. If I didn’t already have 3 million amps I’d have an Original 500 as a spare, especially at the current Andertons price.

    Airbourne come to mind, shamelessly aping the AC/DC sound. Greta Van Fleet were accused of being Zep-lite on their first album weren't they...
  22. Merton
    Good luck in your new home Nik! No words of wisdom from me as I don’t know your area at all I’m afraid
  23. Merton
    Thais is pretty much exactly the same as I’ve comissioned @Cosmicrain to build me! Lovely
  24. Merton
    Wish I'd not gone not the Andertons site following this. Lots of other stuff is reduced too, though not as drastic in reduction there is still a lot to cause me pause for thought. Dammit.
  25. Merton
    Thankfully not in a band with him anymore 😅
