How much do you want to spend and how big or small must it be? Do you want desktop size (PJB Double Four, Cub, Ashdown B Social, Yamaha THR) or something a little bigger (Roland Bass Cube 30, Fender Rumble 15, Ashdown Studio 8, Orange Crush Bass 25). I don't know if amp features come in to play with your decision either , such as aux in, headphone out, bluetooth, drive channel etc. -
Another Hey Jude here. Which we had made our own locally, until another band started to do a very similar version, so we're looking to swap it out now.....
-
Yes. USB connected to PC. my DAW recognises it as a generic input device and works fine.
-
Love mine too - unbeatable. One thing they don't tell you - the green charging light. One would assume that when this goes out the battery is fully charged. Nope. When the green light goes out, you'll get about 30-40 minutes of play time. You need to charge for around 8-10 hours to get the full playback time. The battery is a 9v rechargeable on so can be swapped out when required and it makes an excellent tiny audio interface too, complete with that Ashdown signature sound. Mine came with a little stick-on belt clip too and a nice velvety pouch. mmmmmm

For a kitchen table I would use anti-bacterial worktop oil. It is water resistant but wears off through use eventually so normally needs an annual treatment, or whenever liquids stop beading on the surface.

They're my string of choice - I love 'em! Works really well with my Precisions.
-
Yeah I get it now - a full wrap around solution makes perfect sense for a cab that can be used in different orientations. You don't want to see the underside scuffs if you then used it vertically. Good job!
-
The design looks great and I'm a big fan of Hotcovers but when you say "used vertically" do you mean stored vertically? Obviously when you're using it you're taking the covers off... So this design gives you full protection if you want to store your cab horizontally or vertically then? What about the feet? If they're covered, won't they push through the fabric and tear it?
-
Haha don't worry I did similar. I will not admit to emailing Darkglass asking why I couldn't hear my cab sims through my expensive cabs, though. no I won't admit to that.
-
I've got the M900 v2 and Mr Fretmeister is correct, the cab sims only output to headphone and DI. I did try with cabs too, just to make sure!
-
There still needs to be social distancing measure in place though so audience numbers will be severely limited. Will it be viable for a venue to put on any event?
-
You don't need me to say Stomp, so I won't..... (given it's cost)....
-
You haven't got a Helix have you? There's a 4Pro model in there....
-
I never realised these existed. I turned them on. What a god awful mess they make of a thread. Especially those with Youtube videos in. Turned them off again. Basschat is now tidy.
-
I asked Dave Green about this when I paid a visit. It was my fault for using quality headphones..
-
This is so under rated. I never used the shape on my ABM as I found it too boomy, but after experimenting on the OriginAL its now on on the ABM too. Just cutting back on the bass a bit and adding a few high mids brings out a lovely sound. Swapping out the valve is going to be tough though. It's in its own little metal prison! Oh and they exist in gold too.

Barefaced Super Twin. Shall I? UPDATE: "out for delivery"
Muppet replied to fretmeister's topic in Amps and Cabs
No, the Darkglass is superb through the Super Twin, it’s just that the sound in my head Is an Ashdown type of sound rather than DG and tonally the two amps are quite different. The great thing about the cab is that it can do clear with the DG without being too toppy or it can do warm low middy with the Ashdown, I just love that cab. -
Merton beat me to it with the Ashdown OriginAL. Exceptional sound from the DI and a valve overdrive that can add some lovely warmth or some nasty grit.

Barefaced Super Twin. Shall I? UPDATE: "out for delivery"
Muppet replied to fretmeister's topic in Amps and Cabs
My ABM 600 sounds awesome through the super twin. So does my RM800. Ashdown and Barefaced seem to be a very good match.... -
The original Wizard Thumpers were made by Andy Blake but he retired and passed on the Thumper to Hot Rod Pickups who now seem to have merged with Eternal Guitars, though you can still get the Thumper. It's just not Wizard anymore. https://www.eternal-guitars.com/product-page/pb-thumper-precision-bass-pickup Excellent Precision pickups with a tone of low mid and a softer top end. I've got two sets in different guitars and they're my favourite by far.

A beautiful example of what could be unofficially regarded as a @Lozz196 spec USA Precision from 2005/6 😄. Black, with maple neck, and 3 ply BWB pickguard. This model originally had the S1 switch fitted but I removed it, seeing as it was next to useless anyway. It has the anniversary button on the headstock as seen on all 2006 models from this year. This does NOT make it an anniversary model; they are different. This has had upgrades fitted - BadAss III bridge, Hipshot D Tuner and more importantly, Fender Custom Shop 62 pickups. It's virtually unmarked as far as I can see, one tiny scuff that I have photographed. No fret wear. Weight is 9.3lbs. Comes with Hiscox hardcase. If you really want me to swap out the upgrades back to standard I will do, but the price is the same. Original parts not included. Strings are barely used Fender 7250s 45-105. I have had it since new, though I did but it without original case. I will put the original strap buttons back on. Prefer collection, I am near M1 J15 but buyer can arrange delivery. Please no trades or offers. This is a very good deal. -
We've played two gigs since outdoor gigs were 'allowed'. In both cases we returned the fee at the end of the night. This was because we knew the pub and the landlord, appreciated their efforts and it was clear that despite being as full as it was possible to be, they were still not going to making huge profits out of it. We've been asked to play for free since the rules were relaxed but have turned those down.
-
Happier with that - I can't get it to clip then in that case, but I can see why tone wise it wouldn't be where the ABM is ...
-
Can you get the green light to flash? I can quite easily on my RM800, way before the needle gets to the red. I assume the green flashing light indicates clipping but I'm not sure... Will depend also on the input level after your pedals I think . I run my ABM gain at about 2 o clock but the needle only goes in to red zone occasionally.
-
I think we deduced that a while back, in fact, with my initial question. I asked the OP what he did get with it, seeing as he pointed out only what he didn't get. He's yet to respond.
