I'm thinking about this but everyone would need In Ear Monitors or a really good monitor to take the bass , My monitors sends cut out low frequencies so I'm not sure what I can do ?

A great British company ruined , Ruined ! I tell yu

I think Dans demos are very good , I just want to hear the tones the equipment is capable of .

From my experience The ABMS stuff is built like a tank .

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1484954119' post='3220068'] Ashdown have a tendency to introduce amps then scrap them after a year or so. Remember the superfly, little giant, Mibass Version one and two. They come and they go. I think they just bring them in to pander to people's GAS. After all, there's no point in making just one really good bass amp, that will be the only bass amp anyone will ever need and is really reliable. You'd soon go out of business if you did that. [/quote] It can sometimes give people the wrong idea that they dropped the product because it's not very good ,The ABM1000 & ABM neo cabs are excellent

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1484838810' post='3218971'] Is your ABM400 an old model or the "Neo" Class d head, Kevin? [/quote] Class D

[quote name='Davo-London' timestamp='1484826042' post='3218771'] £6 a set???? Goodness Davo [/quote]Yep flippin great deal , But only 40--100s left .

A huge influence on me , but I wasn't impressed with his first solo album .

I have the ABM 1000 that is class D but its like no other class D I've had , & I've never been happier with my amp . I also have the JJB 500 & ABM400 .

Ok , So the Guage made very little difference I had to boost the mid eq a bit more & they fit a 36" just , They are very similar to Roto Sound Swing .

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1484747320' post='3218028'] I suspect if you cut Kevin in half you'd find "I love Ashdown" written there like a piece of seaside rock [/quote]& Shuker probably , support stuff made in the UK .

The good news is they just fit a 36" scale & very little difference in the action , I had to increase the mid eq a bit more to get the same sound , they feel like & probably are Roto sound swing bass ..very good for £6 a set .

They could be a very very very very very very very light black .

When I took mine out to fit the the Sica speaker , I noticed that they have blue line written on the back .

[quote name='M-Bass-M' timestamp='1484646078' post='3217052'] [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/shop/product.php?id=2530"]These strings[/url]? I know they're a few quid more expensive, but it seems you can still purchase them. [/quote]Exactly the same , I just got 10 sets £62 including postage .

Just a heads up 40-100 stainless sets on Ebay £6 a set from Ashdown , I love these strings , flip knows why they are discontinued .

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1484419683' post='3215397'] Surely the point of a hifi cab is that you can get the sound you want with EQ. If you cab is "voiced*" In a particular way you can only fight it with EQ if you want something other than the standard "voicing". [/quote] I just like the sound I get with hardly any EQ change

My view is , If you can't hear the bass drum you are too loud .

[quote name='mikeycrikey' timestamp='1484381960' post='3215039'] I never considered the badge could of been at the root of the vibration issue before. The Evo cabs have a fabric grill rather than the metal one on them but I suppose the badge could still vibrate on that as the fabric is quite taught across the front. Hope that is the issue with these cabs as the price, weight and size ticked all the boxes for me. [/quote] The grills are made to take off easily .

I have 2 x 12" cabs with the Sica drivers fitted , that was recommended by them as I use a ABM1000 , my main priority is weight but for me they have more mid punch compared to the Barefaced Hi Fi type sound . I tend to use these cabs if playing in a club that requires a bit of a walk to the stage , I've had more compliments from this rig than any other . I also have a ABM neo 4 x 8 cab I prefer this sound slightly but it's twice the weight , still only 48lbs though .

That's what I'm nervous about the action is perfect at the moment thanks to Jon Shuker . & I've buggered it up before lol .

Due to my own stupid fault I've odreded a load of 40-100 gauge instead of 45-105 --will these have much of an effect on the Neck do you think as I have a gig tonight & was planning to put a set on before I realised my error .

Does anyone know how to get a delay / repented note to carry on indefinitely with out fading , Cheers.
