  1. Yep, 40min set, whether playing or watching is just right imo too.
  2. Good call on the Fender Rumble, for the budget specified you should be able to pick one up and it will fit the bill nicely. Also the Ashdown Studio 12, 100 watts, 22lbs and within budget new. Plus based in the UK so in unlikely event if any issues easy to deal with, rather than via distributors etc.
  3. Bought a bass in August. Returned on Aug 20. Advised of the refund today - nearly two months later,. Not very happy with Bass Direct re this, on nearly a grand I’ll have been charged a fair bit on interest.
  4. Alvin Gibbs left The UK Subs, did various work with Iggy Pop & Nasty Suicide among others then returned to The UK Subs and is still there.
  5. Ashdown ABM600. No longer in a gigging band so moved all my ABM gear on, but I do miss that amp.
  6. If someone can get it to Watford Gap services I’m happy to pick it up from there. Can then meet at South Mimms services to hand on/over.
  7. Liked the very small bit of the song in the vid - vid was great btw, reminds me very much of a 70s/80s action series, like The Zoo Gang or The A-Team.
  8. Great cabs, I used one on tour last year and it was really good, solid lows, crisp but not shrill highs, was a pleasure to be using it night after night.
  9. I’m not that clued up on Solid State, but if the Ashdown ABM600 is SS then that’s my fave. Very powerful, amazing flexibility due to the 9 band eq, and not too weighty.
  10. Well he had but last time I saw him was a couple of years ago at least, maybe he’s started doing them again now he’s got more room at his new place.
  11. It’s funny but I find that with live performances too, after 40mins my attention starts to wander, irrespective of how good the band are. Same with set times for whichever band I’ve been in, I always thought a 40min set was just about right.
  12. I suppose from my collection the double album that has a good few let-downs is The Great Rock n Roll Swindle by The Sex Pistols. The tracks of them playing are good, but there’s too much other “filler” on it. I suppose it does actually live up to its name.
  13. Def, really could have been a great follow up to Appetite. Agree, The Clash were a strange band, capable of both brilliant tracks and awful ones.
  14. Some good playing on some great bass lines there. For some reason I’ve never got familiar with NMAs material, but every time I hear some I like it - as a starting point would you suggest this album @JonnyBGood?
  15. Similar to me, I bought one to even out string to string volume on my Jazz bass and it worked a great last night.
  16. Very swift, and look to be decent items as well.
  17. For an encore I wouldn’t do anything that radically dropped the pace on which the set finished.
  18. Hi Jon Terry Chapman of TJC Guitars did a refin on a bass for me in this colour. He no longer does refins but should be able to advise where to source the paint.
  19. Oh don’t say that, I’m finally at peace with myself for selling mine, I don’t need any encouragement to go and buy another (no matter how much I want to, of course).
  20. My ideal tone is Precision/Ampeg, however I’ve only been in one band where it seemed to work. As above I adapt depending on the band as to me it’s far easier to alter the bass tone to a guitarists than get a guitarist to alter theirs.
  21. Agree, if you like the Aguilar sound the Tonehammer is a good little amp.
  22. One additional benefit of Ashdown aside from the sound/volume is that in the unlikely case of something going wrong with one is that being UK based, and offering excellent customer service is that it’s pretty easy to get it dealt with both quickly and reasonably.
