That info was from Lee , they do offer a bag . It's a shame as I know quite a few people like myself that play in Pub /club bands that keep their heads in a flight case with a tuner Because we have all learnt the lesson of putting stuff in the back of the van. I might consider the lightweight ABM but that is considerably heavier than my Mark bass little Rocker . Just had an email from Mark & they will be doing them in a couple of weeks time

Just got an email from Ashdown & they don't do rack ears for the Rootmaster

[quote name='JAUQO III-X' timestamp='1402717240' post='2476276'] Ashdown does offer rack ears for the RootMaster series. [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] I can't see them on the web site & they don't seem to answer my emails ? I try my best to support British companies , that's why I have a couple of Shukers a Barefaced cab. But two Markbass heads & a TC. all of them had excellent customer support ....Even though I do tend to ask a few questions .

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1400355304' post='2453206'] Nice review, I`ve been looking at these for a while. Never bought into the "woolly Ashdown" thing - if Bruce Foxton and JJ Burnell use them - and have seen/heard them do so - they have enough top-end. In fact seeing Bruce Foxton using an Ashdown stack a couple of weeks ago has made me start looking at Ashdown, just waiting for a retailer near enough to me to see if for one I like the RootMaster tone, and secondly if the cabs will fit in my car! [/quote] I've also seen Mark King using them & you can't call his sound woolly .

is this the Root Master your talking about ?

Just watching the demo the only concern I have is that the chap has the volume up pretty high & he is sat right next to it & it's mic'd up ( will it be loud enough )& does it have a head phone socket? I like the idea of the Drive & the Sub as my band do Peter Gabriels Sledge Hammer & some Stranglers covers , So hopefully will do away with the effect pedals I use .

If they did Rack ears for it I would get one .

I spent a bit of time doing an A/B test on these heads & even though the volumes are the roughly the same the Little Rocker has a lot more low end thud to the sound that I just can't get with the other amp , does that make any sense ?

Now I have had time to really A/B the heads the Markbass little Rocker has loads more bottom end thump & tone control .

Tried it last night & what a great amp I don't know if it's because the Barefaced cabs are very efficient , but it's very loud & gives a great tone with out having to do anything & the tone print is amazing . I'll be gigging this ASAP . At £260 including foot switch I'm now wondering how long it's going to last , or is just under priced ?

I've just ordered a BH250 it will be interesting how it compares with my MB Mo mark & little Rocker when used with my Barefaced super 12T.

I was wondering why the tone print isn't used on their high end stuff ? as it seems such a good idea .

i was supposed to buy a new laptop today for work & got a new bass head instead . Is it just me ?

[quote name='77precisionblackmaple' timestamp='1352113043' post='1858758'] just done 14 gigs on the trot with my brand new cab. the wait was excruciating to say the least but the cab is beyond anything i could have hoped for. tried it with brand new tcelectronic bh250 tonepri:ok but not enough punch or dynamics at gig volume,typical digital amp really,save your money. plugged my gk400rb '89 vimtage and wow just perfect,the sound was just pure class:geddy,foxton,squire type tone was what i was after and i was not disappointed. truly the last cab i will buy,massive sounding bass,clear punchy mids and top is excellent. paired with my old precision and a new set of rotos im in heaven! [/quote] I was looking at getting a BH250 head to run my barefaced super 12T as I like the tone print idea & the Octave effects & keeping everything light . I play in a band with electric drums . At the moment I use Markbass little Rocker & a MoMark head but hardly drive them at all . Now I'm wondering , should I get the MXR octave pedal or stiil go for this head as I like the idea of using it in my flat for practicing .

The problem I have is that I have about 5 sounds I like I just can't decide . but the comment has been has been made " No one will notice"

The other day I spent 6 hours going between my two bass heads & fiddling trying to get a sound I really really like only to end up at the exact same setting that I started with ...is it just me ?

Jon Shuker has made a custom medel for myself , I'm very pleased with it in fact it is exactly what I wanted . I couldn't believe how many emails went back & forth about the bass . I can't imagine many people doing that .

Thanks , I thought I better ask first

Does anyone know if the the Zoom MS60B can be powered from the Boss power supply if linked with their pedals ? cheers.

I use a MB bass head either a Little Rocker or a MOMark both very light amps .I also use a wireless system , a rack tuner & a sliding shelf that holds just one pedal . All of this is in just one flight case making it quite heavy & I pulled a muscle in my back shifting it the other day . The thing is The wire less comes in handy for sound checks But do I need it ? If I get rid of the shelf & have the pedal on the floor I still have to run leads from the pedal to the back of the wireless . So I'm thinking of just going back to leads & a couple of pedals on the floor & just the amp . Has anyone else done this ?

That must be it ,I only have the volume at the 9 o clock for it to be loud enough for my band .

I use a Barefaced super 12T , I also have a MarkBass Mo Mark 250 (250watts) & a Little Mark Rocker (500Watts) . just out of interest with either of them on exactly the same volume setting they both give out the same volume . How does that work ?

I suffer from ear infections & my Dr gave me a lecture & said that I shouldn't be sticking anything in my ear smaller than my elbow .Using cotton buds yes you will remove a bit but you are also compressing a lot of it & one day you will press it against your ear drum & good by hearing . He did advise that ears are supposed to be self cleaning & you you can use olive oil , Just tip it in .
