    Yep, still here awaiting a pleasant new owner

    Withdrawn, I like it too much So we have a full Ashdown Rootmaster rig up for grabs here. Has been my backup rig, but have come to the realisation I do so many gigs with provided rigs that I barely use my own main rig, so really don`t need a full backup rig as well. Comprises of: [u]Ashdown RM-500-EVO[/u] 500 watts at 4ohms, drive, compression, full blurb below: [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amplification/20/ROOTMASTER-EVO/144/RM500EVO-/"]http://ashdownmusic..../144/RM500EVO-/[/url] [u]2 x Ashdown RM210T-EVO [/u] 300 watts at 8ohms, 15.5kg, full blurb below: [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/B/20/ROOTMASTER-EVO/152/RM210TEVO-/"]http://ashdownmusic....152/RM210TEVO-/[/url] Obviously comes with power lead, both cabs have Roqsolid covers and OBBM/Rockwire heavy duty speaker leads. Would prefer to sell the whole rig together, but if anyone wants a specific item PM to discuss. No Trades. For those looking on mobiles, am located in Hemel Hempstead (J8 on the M1, 20 miles north of London)

    Well I`ve not got one, but have read much about them (and nothing bad to date), and heard one last week and the tone was incredible, a Fender Rumble. You already use Fender amps, why not check out the Rumble, I was really impressed with the sound.

    Nice one Dave, they`re really nice sounding basses, and look uber-cool as well.

    A band I used to go and see played Gangsters by The Specials completely wrong, yet the audience used to love it. I think non-musicians focus on the vocals. Sure, if each member of the band had played it individually wrongly maybe they`d have noticed, but as the band as a whole just played the wrong notes, no-one ever mentioned it.
  6. Lozz196
    A 112 will more than likely be loud enough once you get to the higher wattage amps, but whether or not the sound is full enough for you depends probably on music style and the other instruments/amps in the band.
  7. Lozz196
    I`ve found that on many of the P-basses I`ve had that the C on the E string has been quieter than the other notes. Others have mentioned the C# on the G string but a note that high is in guitarist territory for me, so can`t comment on that one.
  8. Lozz196
    Into the input of the ABM, then DI from the pedal - that way whatever I do on-stage with the amp doesn`t affect FOH, so sound-men like me much more.

    Bump

    Well in that case as you like the Ashdown tone then the ABMs are def worth looking at. That`s what I use, although I get all of my tone via my Para Driver as Al Krow mentioned. Very grindy/toppy/Ampeggy-like. I`ve found of all the different amps I`ve used that the Sansamps seem to pair the best with Ashdown. I also use the Rootmaster Series of Ashdown, namely the RM500 and two of the RM210s. A very potent and portable little rig which I`m, due to simply having too much gear, going to be offloading soon. I will be putting it up for grabs on here if interested.
  11. Lozz196
    This is simply too teasing for words Mick, put us out of our misery.
  12. Lozz196
    Is a change of rig what you`re after, or just getting the Ampeg tone? If so then adding in a Sansamp VT-DI, or Para Driver will get you there easily (the VT is specifically based on Ampegs sound) with your current rig, unless you really want a change to an amp-head and cab set-up.
  13. Lozz196
    You can pick up an Ashdown MAG amp & 410 for about £250, so around 300 EUR. The cabs are about 30kg-ish. OK, not particularly light but I`ve got a bad back and can cart about an Ashdown ABM410 (with some nice castors to help me).

    I wouldn`t gig without rehearsing, I don`t care how good any/all musicians are, in my opinion the same bunch of super-talented will always be better with regular rehearsing. Sure, if what is being played is to a decent enough standard then at that point there is the argument it`s not needed, but if the sound and performance isn`t where it should be that is the deciding factor. We regularly get remarked upon for how tight we are as a band, strange that, seeing as we rehearse every week irrespective of however many gigs we have (3 last weekend, still rehearsed yesterday).
  15. Lozz196
    The venue I played on Sunday night was using side-fills, rather than traditional in-front monitors. Works ok, but I do prefer the sound coming straight at me.
  16. Lozz196
    Mid-biased does indicate TC gear, or maybe Markbass with - I can`t remember which one - one of the filters turned up.
  17. Lozz196
    It`s always a problem, gear. Our guitarists amp was b*ggered a few weeks back and he didn`t even let anyone use it, just when the band on before us unplugged all their gear and connected his amp up they connected the speaker to the footswitch jack. One valve amp not too happy.
  18. Lozz196
    Yep, keep to the same size speakers. 210/115 or 410/115 rigs often sound great, but your sound is made up of the sound of two (most likely) differently voiced cabs, remove either and you have to re-eq.
  19. Lozz196
    My ABMs are earlier ones from what I understand, they have the black speakers in as oppose to the blueline ones. It may well be that Ashdown developed all of the RM range cabs to be voiced differently. Sure you can notice the difference in size and feel of the sound from the pair of RM210s to the single ABM410, but tone-wise they I find them to be pretty similar.
  20. Lozz196
    So, update to the update, finally gigged the RM stack, comprising of RM500 and 2 x RM210. Performed very well indeed, yes in a live environment the difference between the RMs and ABMs can be noticed, with the ABMs definitely having more presence, but seeing as all my gigs have the instruments through FOH this isn`t a big concern. No concerns over volume though, this little stack more then held its own in that area. What is really great is that our guitarist can fit his Marshall half-stack and guitars, plus my Ashdown RM stack and basses into his car, so I no longer will have to do all the driving when we need to provide full backline Not that this happens that often, the gig I`ve just returned from is the first since last September where both of us had to bring our own amps and speakers. Still great to have that flexibility - til he goes out and buys a Smart Car to spite me I guess.

    [quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1495985808' post='3307924'] A couple of terrible pictures. The shop had it in stock for a while so they rang the seller and he went to £400! Bargain. Thinking about swapping the Duncans out for something else, possibly Hot Rods (formerly Wizard pickups). Worth it or not really? [/quote] I think so, Wizzards/Hot Rods much more inkeeping with the traditional P-bass vibe. Great looking bass btw, the coolest P-bass colour combo I think.

    [quote name='drake' timestamp='1495991485' post='3307984'] Nothing is worth living in SE London [/quote] Given that much of my family come from there, and as such as a kid had to visit the place very often, I agree entirely.
  23. Lozz196
    Markbass cabs have a fair bit of top-end roll-off, hence why the DI`d sound is tinnier/sharper. Additionally the wooden flooring isn`t going to be helping, so the suggestion of an isolation pad is a good one, as that will get the sound from the speakers nearer to that through the PA. I`d cut back some highs through the PA as well.
  24. Lozz196
    Heard one of these in action yesterday, with a Squier Precision. Awesome tone, really impressed with it.

    [quote name='Yukimajou' timestamp='1495709708' post='3306009'] One of my favourites for many years is Warhead by the UK Subs: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pO_EqziS1g"]https://www.youtube....h?v=_pO_EqziS1g[/url] I have always loved it's prominence in the track and it's quite easy to play! [/quote] Awesome bass line. When we recorded our last album we asked the Subs for permission to record it, as it had been in our set for ages (the only cover we do) and they were kind enough to both grant that, and ask for a listen. In the end we felt that a cover would detract from the rest of the material, so left it off, but I thought it was really decent of them to be so gracious.
