    [quote name='sk8' timestamp='1374074489' post='2145018'] I've managed to fill an auditorium with one cab and a promethean head at mofat [/quote] +1 on this, I heard sk8 play through that set up and then did the same myself, single 1x12 cab, the head wasn't cranked by any means and it kept up easily with a loud valve guitar combo a loud drummer and singer going through a PA. I was pleasantly surprised, much more volume than I expected.

    EAD Foundation 212
  5. eude
    Hey guys, It's with a heavy heart that I think I might have to sell my EAD Cab. Terribly timed car accident related nonsense has occurred, with no injuries thankfully, but I think I'm going to have to raise a little bit of cash. I'm unlikely to need anything more than my Promethean combo for the foreseeable as the new addition to the family has forced me to put my rock star delusions on the back burner for a while. So, still not entirely sure about this, but here goes... [b]EAD Foundation 112 3-way cab[/b] Prototype cab handmade by Dave Perry himself, basically a 1x12 version of the 2x12 cab which a lucky few own already. 12" and 6" speakers with a tweeter. High and Mid Attenuation via custom crossover. Completely rock solid. 300W handling at 8 Ohms. Not sure about weight, think its about 40 lbs odd, feels similar to the Aggie GS112 I used to have, an easy one hand lift for a bass player, what with us all being strapping strong lads and all, probably a two handed lift for a guitarist or a singer though. The cab has barely been used and only at bedroom volume levels, probably not even broken in properly, as Dave fitted a brand new drivers before shipping it to me. It hasn't left the house since I got it home and is immaculate. You can read around this a bit here >> [url="http://www.extendedaudiodesign.co.uk"]http://www.extendedaudiodesign.co.uk[/url] The 112 Cab listed on there doesn't feature the 3-way design here, so it is missing the 6 inch driver and the High/Mid Crossover, but you can get the idea. Thinking [b]£470 plus shipping[/b], but would prefer pick up from South Croydon, any less and its simply not worth moving on, might have to sell something else. Absolutely no trades thank you. Let me know if anyone is interested and while I give this some serious thought. Eude

    [quote name='Ashdown Engineering' timestamp='1373634615' post='2139932'] The Mi 10 we have changed to 8 ohms now... The original was 4 ohm to get max power in a one cab set up for the MiBass 220... [/quote] Thanks for chiming in mate, is it Lee? Anyway, really glad that the Mi10 is now 8 Ohms too, I think it makes a lot more sense. Do the Mi10 and Mi12 play nicely together, or are you more sensible to match the cabs?... Cheers, Eude

    [quote name='Dr M' timestamp='1373623352' post='2139717'] Ok, the chassis and screen-printing scream 'cheap Chinese chassis'. Guess that's to be expected at this (suggested) price, though. I think the illuminated Ashdown logo on the prototype was a lot sexier than the weird blue panel they've gone with too. I notice the rear panel says 'MIN LOAD 8 OHMS'. So it's basically incompatible with their own Mi10 cab (4 ohms)? That's a bit of an odd decision. [/quote] The whole thing was always meant to be cheap, as Wojtek Pilichowski wanted his music students in Poland to be able to afford to buy one. The 8 Ohms thing comes from the same reasoning, that students might not be able to buy 2 cabs to get the most out of the amp, so making it shoot the wad at 8 means they could get the full wattage from a reasonably cheap cab. I like the idea, I used to gig a LittleMark 250 with a single Aggie GS112 and I loved the ability to gig with just that, bass on the back, cab in one hand, amp in a shoulder bag and a hand free to open doors or push away overly excited groupies (I wish ). If I could've got the full 250W out of the amp with that cab I would probably still own it now. I think this little Pi head and a Mi12 cab would be a really useful set up for the real world player, but probably not for the kind of person who thinks they need 750W and 2 X 4x10s to play their local pub... Eude

    I prefer something a little simpler, but a little more stuff than the MiBass 2.0 has. Either the addition of a Low Mid Control to make it Bass - Low Mid - High Mid - Treble, or even better, make the Low and High Mid Parametric, but with nice simple knobs rather than sliders... Given that I've managed many a gig with just my Promethean 1x10 combo, I'd be very confident that a PiBass and a Mi12 cab to cover most "basses", if you'll pardon the pun. If my Ibby "burnt down", I'd probably replace it with exactly that. Eude

    [quote name='clauster' timestamp='1373376960' post='2136861'] Was just looking at this myself. I think the PiBass is a clever entry level head, price depending of course. [/quote] I'm 100% its under £300, I'm pretty sure they either said £249 or £269. Very good alternative for the TC BH250 and the GK MB200 I reckon.

    [quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1373376416' post='2136849'] First a MiBass, now a PiBass! What's next? A BiBass for the confused or curious? Or perhaps a DiBass sold exclusively in Wales? There's nice ;-) [/quote] Ha ha, who knows dude
  11. eude
    Well the PiBass head is finally available >> http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amplification/17/Signature-Series-/101/PiBass-240/ Not sure of the price, but I think it's about £250. It shoots it's whole wad of 240W at 8 Ohms only, so it doesn't leave a lot of room to expand, but it's still very appealing, I guess as a back up head, or an alternative smaller rig for smaller gigs matched with a single 1x12 cab perhaps. I'd love to pick one up, but I really can't justify it at the moment, I'm going to stick with my Promethean combo for a while yet. If anyone gets one of these I'd love to hear how they get on! Cheers, Eude

    Here's a brand new Ibanez SR 1206 for under £1000 >> http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_sr1206_vnf.htm To be honest, if you're stuck to £1000 or under, I really don't think you can do any better given the constraints you've set. If was in your position, I'd try and go custom if I could stretch to it, if not, go for that Ibanez. Eude
  13. eude
    If you could stretch a few more hundred £'s you might be able to get a new custom bass made, given the nature of custom basses, the wait involved would allow you to save up the rest? I, like you, have small hands and I've found going for 33" scale rather than 34" or up helps a lot, probably more than the neck depth or shape. You also want to think about nut width. My first custom 6er had a 57mm nut, which was just a little too wide, I've now got a 6er with a 52mm nut, which is VERY comfortable. String spacing at the bridge is another thing to think about, 16.5mm is very comfortable for little hands. If you go down the non-custom route, both the Ibanez Soundgear and Warwick Basses, not the broad neck ones obviously, have similar measurements to what I've described above, but on a regular 34" scale. You should be able to find a nice Ibanez for your budget and potentially a Warwick secondhand for a similar price. If you have an questions about the custom route, feel free to PM me. Eude

    [quote name='ead' timestamp='1370866089' post='2106486'] Spec for #3 as follows: Graft Recurve 4 with 34" scale Body: Alder with black limba top Neck: Maple with maple fretboard 2 x SB pickups with passive elctronics Back to bassics - see what I did there [/quote] Very nice mate, looking forward to seeing this one now too Eude

    [quote name='ead' timestamp='1370863903' post='2106411'] Beautiful. And don't worry your secret is safe with me [/quote] Thanks buddy. The craftsmanship involved in this is is amazing! I'm really loving the feel of the thick body combined with the chambering, makes for a very substantial feel without the associated weight. More pics to come when the opportunity presents, plus some ACG family snaps. One of these days my promises of sound samples or video will come to fruition too. I'm going to be doing a bit more bass for my mate Flash Callahan soon, so this very bass may well just make an appearance, if not this one though, it'll certainly be another of my ACGs. Eude

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1370858759' post='2106277'] Did the 112 ever make it to market? [/quote] I'm afraid not, the material costs for the 112 were not much less than the 212, basically the cost of a single 12" driver. The cabs are amazing, but market forces would work against a very expensive 112 cab. If Dave was able to make these in much larger batches and out source the labour somewhere cheaper, like a lot of cab manufacturers do, then the price could come down, but with them being handmade to the highest possible standard, the the market as is just ain't a good fit. Such a shame, as Dave's work on these cabs is second to none! I do indeed have one of the 2 112 cabs. Where are you based Meester EBS? Eude

    [quote name='gafbass02' timestamp='1370643243' post='2104025'] These look amazing, had my eye on them for a while, love to own a pair one day. [/quote] You'd need an amp that goes to 2 Ohms to run two of the 212 Cabs

    [quote name='visog' timestamp='1370624953' post='2103683'] Looks good. How's the 'B' on a 33" scale? [/quote] Its fantastic! This is my 4th 33" bass with a low B and I've not had any problems whatsoever. I guess for some more extreme techniques or heavy plectrum use it might not be what you're looking for, but its all good for me and I'm not exactly a light touched player... Eude

    [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1370618066' post='2103574'] Sweet, but all of those ACGs are. [/quote] Too right might I'm a lucky pup!
  24. eude
    [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1370616362' post='2103531']perfect for those who like slightly stubby scale lengths [/quote] How very dare you

    Not got long, but I received a very nice delivery today. ACG Finn SC Classic 33" Fretless. This bass absolutely sings, I just need to learn how to play it in tune Will post some proper pictures soon, I should really get a family shot, seeing as this is my 4th ACG Eude
