Wowzers, didn’t expect that!

The Phoenix was (is?) pretty decent, I know at one point they were getting some good bands there.

ACS are your friends. They’re moulded earplugs to your own ear-canals (I got mine done at Boots). I’ve got their PRO17s which apparently give the flattest most neutral sound, no particular frequencies dropped over others. In the band I use them for the music drops from intolerably loud to that of the sort of volume you’d listen to music at home, every instrument crystal clear - in fact it’s a better sound than without them as being quieter it’s far easier to focus on the rest of the band. Not cheap - about £150 - but what price is our hearing. Not IEMs by the way, just regular plugs.

Glad it was worth the wait Dave, congrats

Yep I think it looks great and similarly love the luggage handle idea. If it’s not been done before see if you can patent it @Mediocre Polymath?

When I had my brief dalliance with Stingrays that was my setup, US EBBM as main, Sterling Ray34 as backup. At home volumes there was a very slight more sharpness to the highs on the Ray34 but nothing that would ever be heard in the mix. Both pretty identical in feel & playability.

Check out the US Standards of 2013-16, imo the best range Fender ever made.

Hope you all feel better soon Tony, am just recovering from it myself

Nice sounds and great to see the bass sticking on the root note as it should, see too many follow the guitar riff.

Good luck Rob, similarly I’ve not tested positive since Thursday but still feel rotten, no way I could do a gig today, you’re made of hardier stuff than I am!

Just watched this, incredibly interesting, thanks for the tip @jezzaboy

Yup, I found Ashdown totally by chance. Doing gigs with provided backlines which were more often than not SVT/810 at one I was presented with an Ashdown ABM/215. Thought it was magnificent.

Just makes me grateful for the ease of transactions on here

Even better! Full marks to the store for letting you know about the case.

Yeah amazingly good condition for an instrument of that age

I’d never even heard of these til this thread, just looked them up, certainly different - and def best in yellow.

That’s great, nice catch

Looks really good with the BF210 as well.

Hopefully better than originally expected, good news Jack

That is stunning

Yup, a packet of biscuits at Ashdown HQ is almost like one of those entry swipe cards, impossible to get in without one.

Same here

Sad that such decent, well built, and no doubt great playing & sounding instruments may well end up that way.
