neilb Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 From The Jam bassist Bruce Foxton has finished talks with Mr Gooday and is now the owner of an ABM900 and 8x10 cab for FTJ tours. Hope he manages to keep his trademark sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I've got tix to see FTJ in Cambridge on 27th Nov. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Am surprised, I didn`t think - from my experience of seeing/hearing others using Ashdown - that they`d be punchy enough for Bruces trademark sound. Tho saying that, JJ Burnell also uses them, and his sound is punchy enough. Curses, now my two faves are using Ashdown - resist that GAS, resist!

Sean Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 You'd have thought that after using Marshall VBA400 amps that he would have chosen an Ashdown Small Block 427. I had an ABM for a while but couldn't get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 This is PR. It has nothing to do with anything. He looks like somebody's mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyf Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Is Bruce tall or is the Ashdown 8x10 smaller than the Ampeg version? Admittedly, it's been a while since I got rid of my Ampeg 8x10 but I could swear it was taller than "mid-waist". Of course if he's 6ft 13in, I'm talking out me 'harris....

Answered my own question by comparing them..... The Ampeg's the taller cabinet. Approximately 1219mm vs 1150mm of the Ashdown. The Ampeg's less deep but wider. I really need to get out more.

munkonthehill Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 do you think these artists really believe in the product or is it all about the endorsement and what they get out of it rather than getting what they want and sound they desire??????????

tonyf Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Looks like Ashdown have created a cab carrying/golf trolley hybrid too...
