Even the BB2 with horn full on? (I haven't watched this yet, so finding it interesting reading the comparisons to completely colour my opinion when I do get around to wathcing and listening with good headphones!)

Absolutely stunning!

Ashdown’s service dept isn’t working full time at the moment (because someone somewhere ate an undercooked bat supposedly) so I wouldn’t expect a swift turnaround I’m afraid. Tag them on here and Lee - a top bloke - is normally behind the keyboard and can certainly help move things along. If it helps, I sent them something this week for a little once over and wouldn’t expect anything for at least a fortnight

A good friend of mine challenged me to make this. It’s all her fault I’m almost divorced....

Excellent choice sir!

Yes @AndyTravis do it!

Yup. Sorely tempted by the 210 now I’ve sold my Four10. Must. Resist. Do. Not. Need.

If we’re playing spot the wig, this was after almost 12 hours of solid Zoom meetings last month

Andy sold me a TC Spectracomp - very easy transaction and it arrived a day early. Winning

The 5 string fretless was built by an old colleague and good friend of mine, this was his first bass. It’s pretty bloody wonderful.

@Cosmicrain built me the black beauty in this pic

These are great, I had one for a while and used it though my One10 with great results. It’s great for headphone practice and really comes across as a massive stack over ‘phones. You’ll enjoy l’m sure!

Hello! I've still got an RM800 and it's bloody marvellous. The RM220 is the original generation head and uses the old (Class AB) EB180 power section I believe so it's heavier than the Class D stuff. Some improvements have occurred since then, such as the drive control on the EVO/EVOii models having more grit. TBH if you're thinking of one as a backup head there's nothing wrong with it at all but I'd consider stretching to an RM500 or RM800

Those Laney SL/SLS heads intrigue me - good to see a size comparison there What's the core tone like?

No. Don't be daft

@AndyTravis it's bloody wonderful dude! Your playing is on the money for me and it sounds great. I really must learn to slap like you, as it were.

EDIT: @ the Mods - now the two topics have been merged this post can be deleted

Haha! I know, sacrilege... I'd love a tube-preamped, 800W class D head from Ashdown though. Would be all over that like a randy dog on someone's leg

Ooooh I like the look of that. I won't like the price of it I'm sure 😉

Very cool, I’d (shockingly?) never learnt this until recently so it’s great to hear it like this
