Love the striped fingerboard idea, very cool

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1360671107' post='1974207'] Four strings are quite sufficient for me unless I'm playing my 5-string air bass, but that can be a bit tricky due to the added complexity [/quote] Cool, that will be a lovely bass, Alan makes some incredible instruments, as you know. Got a real soft spot for a bit of Wenge myself I've got 4, 5 and 6 string ACGs, but I'm best at on my air 3 string bass

Nice spec, how many strings?!....

That is gorgeous mate, congratulations! Eude

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1360440164' post='1970582'] A deposit has been paid to a gentleman in the Moffat area. Details to follow. I knew that taking Mrs ead to the MBB was an inspired idea [/quote] Ooooh, spill spill spill...

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1360310687' post='1968306'] Can't help with the ad, but can verify that Ashdown's email inbox is the online equivalent to a black hole. [/quote] Contact them on Facebook, they're usually pretty prompt to reply on there. If you're not on there, shoot me a PM and I'll give you a direct email address. Eude

Also, spot paying so much for them! I buy strings here, usually >> http://stores.ebay.co.uk/bassspecialties Much cheaper than the usual unacceptable UK rip off prices, even including international shipping... Eude

Sk8 on here is selling a recently built Hiwatt Custom 200 for £600 I think, it's a bit of a beast, maybe drop him a PM if yer interested... Eude

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1360067295' post='1964208'] You're right, it is - doh! Changing that now... Thanks! [/quote] No bother dude, it's rare for me to be so eagle-eyed...

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1360066570' post='1964188'] Just for clarification, there is no longer a neo surcharge on our cabs - the neo price is still high but relatively stable so when we revised our prices we removed the variable surcharge. [/quote] Good stuff dude, I think it's still mentioned on your site on the ordering and availability page... Eude

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1360002146' post='1963366'] I don't struggle for volume with an amp rated at 140 watts, so the Ashdown could still be a perfectly viable gigging amp. [/quote] Yup, I can appreciate why some folks want lots of wattage, but for your average non pro player it really is not necessary...

[quote name='Dr M' timestamp='1359997730' post='1963248'] [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amplification/5/MiBass/43/MiBass-20/"]http://ashdownmusic....s/43/MiBass-20/[/url] Plenty more details there, and the gain control offers 'tube emultated overdrive' according to the manual. On the subject of the manual, it's got bleeding graphs in the back! First time I've seen that for a bass amp. [/quote] Thanks dude, will give that a once over on the train home :-)

[quote name='Dr M' timestamp='1359993503' post='1963143'] Thread revival, but now that NAMM's been and gone, has anyone found out anything more about this? Doesn't appear to be on their website yet. [/quote] A bloke over on TalkBass said that it's only a Prototype but might be released later this year. My attention is turning to the MiBass 2.0 head now, the Youtube video for it eluded that there's a distortion curcuit built into the gain structure so you can actually dial some proper distortion out of it without getting the harsh solidstate/digital clipping you usually get in on there kinds of amps when you push them too hard. Think my Promethean will be up for sale soon...

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1359990870' post='1963066']Any news on the 1x12s? [/quote] I've got one

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1359980088' post='1962757'] Agreed. That would be an interesting A/B test! [/quote] Yup indeed it would, but I think the S12T vs the EAD Foundation 212 is still a valid one, especially seeing as the lows seem to be the most pronounced difference when it comes to the sound. I do love the look of the vertically aligned 2x12 retro thing the BF has going on, but if I was gigging reguarly, the my money would go on an EAD. I am a little biased though, as I already have one of the 1x12 prototypes Eude

The S12 is missing some of the major components that make the EAD Foundation 212 what it is, the mid range driver, tweeter and the crossover, it's just a simple 2x12 cab which is why it's only £760, plus that's without the cheeky Neo surcharge. To be fair, the Big Twin T is much more along the same lines to the EAD Foundation 212. The Big Twin T is £1050 + the Neo surcharge of £40 per speaker = £1170 which is very much in the same ballpark as the EAD at £1250. Eude

[quote name='danweb22' timestamp='1359726641' post='1959439'] Just ordered a Graft Recurve 5 with a bubinga top! Whoops! [/quote] Nice work mate, I see you've caught the bug then? What specs have you gone with? Eude

This is awesome, it's almost like the bass is being built before our very eyes! Ziracote Top, good choice mate, I've got some on my ACG 6er Keep those pics coming! Eude

Cheeky bump, has anyone seen this head pop up in any Namm 2013 Coverage yet? I can't seem to find anything Eude

[quote name='Dread Bass' timestamp='1359073832' post='1949671'] I'm with Eude. Contact Alan at ACG he made my 7 string and it's awesome. [/quote] +1,000,000
