    [quote name='dan670844' timestamp='1390765987' post='2349294'] I just got a Mi12 it joins a LB212 and a CL610. For less than £300 quid its a cracking cab. It has good smooth highs and its very punchy. It also has great tight low end. It has a natural very smooth low mid hump which makes it cut through the mix very well. I normally put 150 -200 watts or so into it thumbwise. I normally use a spyder 550 or a LB30 with it and its got a great level of volume but obviously not as loud as the CL610.... . Also testament to a decent designed crossover / tweeter it doesnt sound harsh with the valve Amp. Very pleased with it. Two downsides its big, its is defo the biggest 1x12 I have seen. Its an easy one hand lift though. Other problem is the tolex on some of the cabs is a bit wonky. Not really an issue soundwise. I bought mine from a well known, large dealer so was able to sift a bit. Its a great looking cab and looks a quality job. I bought mine so I dont have to use my LB212 on small gigs. I love the LB212 its the best small cab I have ever had and it records amazingly well. So I want to look after it.... [/quote] Thanks for the info mate. Unfortunately "defo the biggest 1x12 I have seen" and "the tolex on some of the cabs is a bit wonky" are the death knell for me. I was really hoping that the 1x12 would be a compact design, I can't stand bad QC, and it seems that the Mi10 cabs aren't really up to it, bit boxy and have had folks concerned about power handling. I think I'll have to start looking elsewhere now. Thanks for your input anyway folks. Eude

    Rumble V3 500W Head >> http://www.dawsons.co.uk/fender-rumble-v3-500-bass-amplifier-head Rumble V3 200W Head >> http://www.dawsons.co.uk/fender-rumble-v3-200-bass-amplifier-head A lot cheaper than the UK List already, which is £500 for the 500W and £300 for the 200W. I'm very much in the market for a new rig, albeit a little one. I wonder if the 200W will be actually 200W, some class D ratings tend to over egg a little. Apparently the old Rumble 150, rated at 150W, had the same power section as the 300W Genz Benx Shuttle 3.0 and the Rumble 300, 300W, had the same as the Shuttle 6.0, which was rated at 600W. If the 200W Rumble head is actually 200W of usable power, I think that'd likely be enough for me... Eude

    Does anyone here know the ETA for these in the UK, and prices? Over the pond on Talkbass, the MiniMax 400 and matching 1x12 cabs is priced so you can have a stack, i.e. head and 2 x 1x12 cabs, for $600! Even if we end up with £ = $ pricing that folks like Apple seem to employ, they'll still be a bargain! I've been waiting for Peavey to enter the whole class D/micro amp thing for a long time, still miss the tone of my old Mark IV head, not the weight though. If these can deliver the Peavey tone, with their usual rock solid build quality and real wattage, I think they'll sell well. Now hurry up and take my money Peavey! Eude

    [quote name='Johngh' timestamp='1390734190' post='2348682'] I've just ended up with this beauty. I've has Sei's and Alembics and the build quality on this surpasses them hands down. It's an incredible instrument. [attachment=153256:ACG 1.jpg] [attachment=153258:ACG2.jpg] [/quote] Great news mate, glad to hear you're as impressed as I am with my basses. I've not compared it to an Alembic, but ACGs beat everything else I've tried. That's a beauty of a bass mate, enjoy Eude

    [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1390579480' post='2347198'] Hi Eude I gave both a good run. I didn't try two of the Mi10s, but I plumped for the Mi12 in the end anyway as it was just bigger sounding and had a lovely smooth tweeter in it. The Mi10 sounded boxy to me, which I guess is unsurprising as it is not much bigger than a cardboard box anyway! There are two Mi12s for sale here on BC at the mo, so you could sort yourself pretty cheaply if you want to go that route. Cheers Gareth [/quote] Hey Gareth, thanks for chiming in so quickly! I was worried about the Mi10 being boxy, the Promethean for some reason doesn't suffer too badly from that, but I'm fairly sure there's some kind of Japanese Voodoo involved there, even Ibanez haven't managed to recreate the magic in the newer version they created... I was planning on buying through Andertons who are doing insanely good deals on MiBass heads with cabs various, cheaper than buying the cab secondhand! Cheers mate, Eude

    Hey there, I'm going to get myself a little rig very soon. Based on the Ashdown Mibass 2.0, but I'm swithering between having a single Mi12 1x12" cab and 2 Mi10 1x10"ers. For the last little while I've been using a Promethean P5110 10" combo and have really enjoyed the compact design and portability. Does anyone have any experience of the Mi10 cabs, and if so have you tried two of them at once? Just wondering if it would provide enough bottom end and power to do the output of the MiBass 2.0 head justice. Failing that, I guess I'll need to go for the bigger Mi12 cab, and maybe add another one of them further down the line. Thanks guys! Eude

    Thanks Alain! The build quality of these basses is simply amazing, a properly handmade instrument put together by a master luthier for less than a second hand factory line jobby. The only reason for moving this on is that I just don't really get on without a low B. Not in a huge hurry, but I'd like to put a deposit on a new ACG. Price is negotiable, within reason. Eude

    [b]SOLD![/b] Hey guys, [b]This is definitely for sale now. Sorry for any previous changes of heart...[/b] This is an Ibanez Promethean P5110C Combo it's one of the good, original ones with a removable 500W class D amp head in a 1x10 combo. It's an insanely flexible and loud little box, which is held in high regard and now that Ibanez have clearly gone mental, they're not making them anymore, so they're quite hard to come by. I've used this at home, predominantly for practice, but it has had the occasional outing where it easily kept up with a drummer, can probably be used for a non-metal gig up to about 100 folks without PA and then on stage for monitoring purposes when a PA is necessary, and that's all just in it's standard format, you can always whip the head out, or hook up an extension cab and you've got a 500W rig... Check out this review/comparison for more info >> [url="http://www.bassplayersunited.com/2011/04/gear-review-ibanez-promethean-combo-5110-vs-genz-benz-3-0-310t/"]http://www.bassplaye...-benz-3-0-310t/[/url] I've owned it since new, it's in perfect nick, bar a very small quirk in the finish, about the height of a 5p, which was on it when it shipped. I've got the annoying bag for it, and the original tags and instruction manual. As far as a sale price is concerned, I reckon £400 is fair, but I would like to move this quickly now, so I'm open to offers as long as they're not offensive or insane. Absolutely no trades I'm afraid. I'm in South London, well South Croydon/Sanderstead as far as collection is concerned, happy to ship at buyer's cost. Finally, some pics... Cheers, Eude

    [b]SOLD[/b] Hey there, I am selling my ACG Finn 4 string. As much as I try, I'm just not a 4 string player, and as much as I will likely miss this bass, the proceeds from the sale will go towards another custom ACG with at least one more string It has quite a balanced, modern sound I'd say, with a bit more natural presence in the mid range thanks to the Wenge neck and fingerboard. Its very lightweight, probably the lightest bass I've ever own, and balances beautifully on a strap. The bass has never been gigged, or even left the house once and as a result is absolutely immaculate. Here's the specs ACG Finn 4 string (no. 0117) 33" scale. Very lightweight Alder body with a Tulipwood top 3 piece Wenge neck with asymmetrical profile Grain textured MLF Finish on body and neck Wenge Fingerboard, 24 frets with no radius ACG FB Pickups (slim humbuckers) John East Treble/Bass controls, with a 4 way rotary pickup selector (Neck/Neck and Bridge in Series/Neck and Bridge in Parallel/Bridge) 18mm string spacing at the bridge and a 40mm nut Black Hipshot A Type Bridge, with Gotoh GB7 tuners Here's some pics >> The bass comes with a Fusion F3 Gigbag >> [url="http://fusion-bags.com/products-in-guitar-gig-bags/f3-bass-guitar-16486"]http://fusion-bags.c...ss-guitar-16486[/url] Cheers, Eude

    I am so very close to popping my current combo up for sale and getting a MiBass 2.0 and Mi12 cab, SO SO very close... Eude

    Wow! Now that is VERY cool! Eude

    [quote name='randythoades' timestamp='1389104388' post='2329972'] Cheers, that is exactly my reason for doing it! I have a fondness for the Medium scale and bar importing a Jazz bass from japan or one of the new (really ugly in my opinion) Pawn shop jagar basses there doesn't seem much available! I would stick with the Aria stock except that the body shapes scream "rock" and I want something a bit more vintage looking... I will probably start stripping and measuring this weekend so will post my progress. [/quote] Good man! Yup, the costs of importing what is technically an overpriced instrument make it silly. And yes, that Pawn Shop Jag really isn't to my tastes either. If they had made it "non-reverse" I might have even bought one, but not in its current guise. Eude

    Nice sounding project mate, look forward to seeing it come together. No actually useful input from me, bar a moan about Fender not making any mainstream medium scale versions of their basses... Good luck with the build! Eude

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1389090728' post='2329676'] Didn't try the Ashdown cabs as I was head shopping rather than cab shopping, so I just plugged into an Orange OBC410. They only had Orange gear in their soundproofed room and so I just chose something that was available rather than lug something else across the shop! [/quote] Fair doos mate, I imagine anything would sound massive through one of those Orange cabs!

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1389030451' post='2329054'] Yeah, I tried a 2.0 out at PMT, lovely sounding head with a nice gritty overdrive. I imagine the old one is similar but with a more flexible EQ. I'm only playing at home at the moment so I picked up the CTM15 instead whilst I wait for my Terror to be fixed! [/quote] Ah, I saw that thread, I think I may have even posted in it! Suffering from baby induced sleep deprivation. So you liked the head, did you try it out through a Mi12 cab? If so, what did you think of it? My experience of 12s is based on Aguilar stuff, which I loved... [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1389032896' post='2329094'] I had the Mibass 550 Mark 1. I liked the sound of it and loved the eq options (which they have now removed), but mine couldn't punch its way out of a paper bag. As soon as I wanted some heft, it just sighed and sloped off into a corner. It may have been the particular sample I had, but I thought it worth mentioning, as I expect the power stage is the same on Version 2.0. [/quote] Thanks for the heads up mate, but its the newer head I'd be looking for, sounds like the newer power section is an improvement too. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1389046929' post='2329390'] Hmm, I thought the opposite to you - the Orange Terror 500 is the bassiest micro head I've ever played and I thought the Ashdown MiBass was lacking in comparison and had to turn the bass up to match the OTB! Also I think the 5 year warranty probably also applies to the MiBass as I got the same with my CTM15! [/quote] Yup, 5 year warranty on all their new stuff as far as I can tell Eude

    I haven't heard much about them either, but this is a pretty nice review >> http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/20085-ashdown-mibass-20-and-mi12-cabinet-reviews Decent video at the bottom which showcases the overdrive nicely Did you get to try one out? There's great deals to be had on the MiBass 2.0 and a Mi12 cab at the moment, but I'm going to hang fire till I see what appears at NAMM before pulling the trigger. One thing is for sure, I reckon I'll be selling on my Promethean P5110 Combo pretty soon and replacing it with something a little more British in flavour

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1388680753' post='2324743'] I've heard that Ashdown have quite a lot coming out for NAMM this year...who knows! I do quite like the fact they are releasing a lot of valve amps! [/quote] I'd like to see some more 1x12 based cabs and more lightweight stuff personally, but regardless I like what they're doing at the moment, and it's nice that its all UK designed too

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1388673721' post='2324626'] Yeah, the MiBass was a very dirty amp with the gain past noon, but in a good way. Like I said, it instantly reminded me of the SFT which is my favorite drive pedal.[/quote] This has got me very interested in the MiBass 2.0, although I might hang fire to see what they announce at NAMM first. OK, back on topic Eude

    Another +1 for an ACG Graft. You won't get more bass guitar for under £1000 in my opinion. Eude
