Salt on your Bass?

Thanks bluray, thats some interesting info. Cheers

Not sure why youd specifically stay away from ashdown, particularly if you havent heard them. Both mag and abm cabs have served me well over the years. As above though, just keep an eye on classifieds, theres some great gear to be had not very expensively if you dont need lightweight lightweight - peavey, trace in particular. Enjoy the hunt!

Nice rig! I may go that way soon. You mean the 2 210s are noticeably louder than the single 410? (I guess the 410 is 8 ohm?) but not louder than the 610 arrangement? Thanks

Its to do with comb filtering/cancellation and wave spacing or something along those lines, but dont want to reopen a debate on that. plenty in other threads.

Yeah, i noted tesco in some google searches last week for gear. Good for gak i suppose, but weirdly seeing a tesco logo over the top of a shiney new bit of kit tarnishes and dampens my gas for said item - even though its from gak. Its also 30 quid more expensive than gak direct....maybe some search engine optimisation would have been better time spent? I cant see many musicians buying mid to higher end gear without shopping around, and certainly not during a weekly shop.

Are you sure you have a region 2 dvd?! Theres issues with the uploader atm. Use the hosting site and link rather than the uploader.

Went through a phse of trying to use a bit of everything to the point where i was forcing it a bit. Im back to a distortion and a fuzz and sometimes a wah for fun. always used more in my originals than my covers band.

Actually, with this resurrected, what is the latest thinking with how a 210 and 410 pairing compares to 2 vertical 210s?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1357661377' post='1926232'] Should have sold it on Basschat!! [/quote] Good Point! Where are you based and would you post??!

Ha ha! I've never been so flattered!

I'd go to the second highest bidder on this one - sounds like he could be a pain in the backside, and should arrange his own courier as you clearly stated your postage terms. No way should the onus be on you to go and get quotes for him to approve, and 2 mins before an item closes is taking the mick! Best of luck with it!

I'm in! Cant wait til the weekend now!

Yeah, i read a few reviews about the evo being quiet and not man enough in a band context. I cant believe this with the 410 wont mtch a hard hitting drummer - assuming you havent smikey faced the eq or something.

Sounds fine to me. I believe the toir 700 runs down to 2 ohms so youll be getting around 450 watts at 4 ohms. No guarantee on tone though with mismatched cabs.

Not sure why youd need 215s for bedroom practice? A lot of higher wattage rated hybrid amps seem to have quite steep volume slopes. Sounds like you could do with a headphone out or small cab for home?

Hmm, apparently amp techs are entitled to holidays as well! I got a bit confused with the speaker jacks as there are three - 2 jack, one speakon. I'd definitely match it with an ABM for tone and vanity! very nice looking rigs. Really impressed with tones available - played one in rehearsal a few times but not properly messed about with it - theres an abundance of tones from kinda honky mids rich (which sounds like itd sit nicely in a mix) to thick and creamy. Feel like [i]I got a steal on the bay once i get it sorted - i guess with the trend for light weight gear, this is starting to get overlooked[/i]. Looking forward to running it live. Thanks again for the assist, I'll update once properly resolved.

Thanks guys, gonna see if my local amp techs about!

Hi all, Hope you had a good christmas! I managed to pick up a cheap ABM off ebay - EVo ii 500 and an abm 410. I have a couple of questions/need a bit of an assist/welcome thoughts on the following if you fancy: 1. The amp has what seems to be a 'crackly' input gain control - sound is intermittent at low gains, but when higher sounds ok. Im going to contact ashdown but wondered if anyone was in the know about how to clean/check the issue? I'm not very tech and have tried changing leads (except the speakon now i come to think of it) 2. With the speaker outs at the rear, can i use any combination of jack and speakons? I cant find a user manual online. 3. How sensible would it be to add a 210 to this set up for larger gigs? I think a 210 would be good for practice, but i went with the 410 because it was good value and will cover gigs. I like the idea of a 610 modular rig, and think the power match would be ok....? Thanks for any assistance, sounds like a good amp from my initial play around, other than the crackle issue which i may push for some financial recompense. Cheers

Looks nice! I assume theres no detrement to the cooling of the amp?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

I wondered what batman did in his spare time!

I say hurl. If you blow chunks and she comes back, she's yours. But if you spew and she bolts, then it was never meant to be.

Trying to learn some between the buried and me - Disease Injury Madness - probably far to above my level of ability but getting there with some parts......well, tuning down my bass as a starter! Also trying to nail fear of the dark perfectly......always manage to much up somewhere. But like Uncle Psycosis above, finding a 2 month old kinda hinders my progress a little, but I'm not complaining of course!

Wow, that looks pretty good! Guitarists are so better looked after in this area of 'boutique' small, low wattage valve amplifiers. Probably not a huge market though for bassists, but I'd love to own something like that for lower volume home practice and recording.
