  1. Well, the cab definitely says ABM on the back plate. I know the ABM range has used both blue and black drivers. Should anyone prefer a blue ABM speaker, I have a spare that I could fit.
  2. I just bought this ABM cab on eBay. Unfortunately, the advertiser got his measurements wrong and I thought I was getting the more unusual mini version. What I have is the standard Compact 115 (420mm deep) and it looks relatively new and not very used. It's this one (except that it has the newer, black-cone driver): I've told the seller that his ad was incorrect and that I intend to return it, but to save the hassle of doing so, I'm offering it to Basschatters for a few days just in case someone would like to benefit from the silly price I paid for it. As you may know, they sell for £359 new and regularly fetch £150 on the bay. Collection from Dorchester welcomed, but I can also ship.
  3. I'm not sure that someone who has already spent £2,800 on a Bose L1 and is considering buying a second one really "knows what they're doing", but saying so would probably be considered rude - and that wouldn't do.
  4. Love it, me.
  5. Doesn't anyone need a quality mixer at the moment? I could be interested in some kind of deal with a Markbass LMIII or an Ashdown ABM 15 Compact....
  6. I think I need to bump this......
  7. I'm surprised I'm having to bump this but I appreciate that money is tight.
  8. [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1381790324' post='2243953'] Sh*t. Or something that sticks like it . . . . . [attachment=146171:stickslike.jpg] [/quote] I bought some of that last week. One word in the name says it all - and it's not 'sticks' or 'like'. It's supposed to stick to wood. It doesn't.
  9. Bought a combo from Rich. Everything went well and it was nicely packed up and sent out quickly. The amp was exactly as described. Deal with confidence.
  10. Stuart bought a cab from me. The deal went through really quickly and there was no messing about. A1+++, as they say.
  11. I've just had a quick look. This appears to be outstanding. Great production values too. More, please.....
  12. 2 x 4 by 8" is 1960s speaker technology.
  13. The next step. by the same process of elimination, is to find out whether it's the cab or the amp that has the problem. If it's the cab, I'd open it up and check the wiring and the crossover. It sounds like the amp is trying to drive a load that is under the minimum allowable, but that's just a shot in the dark.
  14. [quote name='barkin' timestamp='1380884218' post='2231863'] Apologies if I've misunderstood, but wasn't this mentioned in the original discussion (a year or so ago, in the thread mention above by the OP) as a possible consequence if the driver was fitted in the Warwick cab ? [/quote] It was mentioned in that thread that the Warwick cab was probably a bit on the large side for the driver (which would reduce power handling), although we didn't have the exact dimensions to go on.
  15. The speaker was definitely overdriven but there is no reason to assume that this driver was mis-tuned in the Warwick cab.
  16. Very nice indeed. Thanks.
  17. You can filter items by proximity to your post code in eBay.
  18. As far as I know they are bridgeable - but it's a bit of a faff.
  19. Interesting. I'm in the market for one myself - so maybe I should get some quotes.
  20. Sorry guys, it's on hold for someone who was quicker on the draw than you.
  21. I don't have any direct experience of either of these amps, but Chris's opinion is in line with what the guys are posting on the pro audio forums.
  22. Lee bought a bass from me last week. No probs at all and Lee was very pleasant to deal with.
  23. [quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1380551671' post='2226934'] If anyone is having issues with feet falling off, email [email protected] and we'll find a solution. I believe we've sorted it for all G3 onwards cabs but that doesn't mean we don't care about everyone earlier - to be honest I think it's annoying me more than it is anyone else! [/quote] Well you can't say fairer than that. And yes, I can see why it would annoy you more than anyone else.
  24. And where does this leave the OP?
  25. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1380549521' post='2226883'] Wow, I've never known such a touchy subject. Those who own VS those who do not own (and may have potentially tried them) is quite heated! [/quote] That's because some people have formed an unhealthy emotional attachment to their equipment. Say anything slightly negative about it and it's like insulting their granny.
