    I suppose the high-end roll-off is only really a factor if you DI to FOH PA, wanting your stage sound going out there, it affects this a fair bit. That`s what I found, and one of the reasons why I shifted from Markbass gear. If however it`s only ever used as backline in pub sized venues then not an issue.

    Difficult to say, I`ve only ever lifted it with the help of another band member, due more to the size of it. Once on the floor it`s easy to move about, but due to the size of it it`s - certainly for me, with a bad back - not an easy one-man lift. I would say it feels heavier than my ABM 410, no idea how much by though. Edit as of 04 May - specs on Ashdown site now show this to be 56kg, so have amended the ad accordinly.

    Well I`ve recently bought a lot of basses/cabs, yet another search to find the "right" gear for me. Now I`ve found it, have a lot to sell as a result. My bass needs are one black US Precision for gigging, an identical one for home use, a black Mex Precision for flying gigs, and a white US Precision for vids/backup for touring.

    Yeah, good cymbals really make a difference to the sound of a band - in an old band of mine the drummer was pretty much like many of us on here, buying top range gear, and his whole kit sounded amazing. In fact our producer preferred our drummers kit & cymbals to his own. The cymbals just sounded lush, where I have heard some that sound like rotten tin plates being hit.

    I try to, but am not that mobile so although it seems to me like I`m hacking around the stage at breakneck speed, to the audience it`s probably a slow-motion repeat of Bagpuss.

    Sold as a lightweight cab maybe?
  7. Lozz196
    That`s not good

    I had a Tube 500, ran it through a Markbass 410HR, sounded great. But in my time of buying and selling on Basschat whenever I`ve delivered or collected an item of gear and the buyer/seller has had their rig plugged in, and it was a Markbass amp into a Barefaced cab, that`s when I`ve really thought the amp shined. Markbass cabs tend to have a high-end roll-off, whereas the more flat-response Barefaced let the whole sound through.

    Nice one, think that`s a real good move, if you gel with an instrument that much then snapping it up when available just ticks all the right boxes.
  10. Lozz196
    Yeah, and it was hearing your RM that made me get one. Ho-hum, something to keep the grey matter churning I suppose.
  11. Lozz196
    Yep, when I used 50 - 110s the sound was much deeper, but doing any runs or stuff like that, well they didn`t stand out as well, really found that the heavier gauge strins suited a much more driving foundation style bass.

    Cheers Liam, both helpful and really not helping at the same time, takes talent, that.

    I`ve got an ABM 410, and have been able to put the same sound & volume into the RM 610 without any problems. Certainly I didn`t get any indication of the cab struggling at any point - I do play with gain anyway, so wouldn`t notice any distorting, but you can tell when a cab can`t take what you`re giving it and haven`t had that. And my band isn`t quiet, we`re a street-punk band so pretty raucous.

    A mate of mine had some form of Behringer amp head, coupled with one of their 410s. He put his 70s Jazz through it and it sounded amazing. Sometimes science, design and cost don`t measure up to what just sounds great.At the SE Bash a few years back we did a cab shoot out, a couple of very inexpensive Maplin PA speakers being very surprising in their performance.
  15. Lozz196
    Play the instrument that feels most comfortable, if you`re already noticing the difference in your playing due to changing to the 5 string I`d look to get one of those exact basses. You might not be as comfortable on other 5 string basses, likewise you may find other 4 string basses easier to play than your I banez, but for now your hands are telling you that Jazz fiver is what they prefer.
  16. Lozz196
    Yeah, I keep considering going back to one of these as my backup amp and offloading my ABM1000. If I`m honest it`s purely the looks of the ABM that make me keep it, I like the sound of both amps but the RM is more practical as a backup, plus as an amp to rehearse with. Oh well, this thread has done me no good then, more gear evaluation to go on.
  17. Lozz196
    Nice bass, they really are very good, I had one for a while and it was just a great instrument all round, not just great for the money.
  18. Lozz196
    I`ve found that with Ashdown you have to work to get your sound, they`re not a plug in and play amp, you need to take some time to find what you`re looking for. But once you do find it, well from there it`s all great. My ABM600 is a cracking amp, much more flexible on the eq than the ABM500s I`ve had, and much louder too.
  19. Lozz196
    FUGLY ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  20. Lozz196
    Congrats, they are great amps. I`ve had loads of the Class D small amps but the RM is the only one that has the same weight and feel to the sound as larger amps, in my experience.
  21. Lozz196
    Well one may well be being put up on here over the weekend, watch this space.......................
  22. Lozz196
    Fingers crossed for you mate

    This looks like a serious bargain, am so tempted, so am letting you all know about it so one of you buy it to remove said temptation: https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/fender-mexican-jazz-bass/1292516762

    Quite agree, I happened on Ashdown by accident, and found that I liked the combination of my Precision & Para Driver with their amps & cabs more than anything else I`d had previously, with my ABM600/ABM1000 amps & ABM410/ABM210 cabs costing only just a bit more than the high-end speaker cab that I had before. It`s the ears that make the best decisions on gear sometimes.
