Thank you both. There are none in Nottingham to try. How does the string spacing and neck compare to a Stingray 5?

I’m gonna be annoying and say I can’t be bothered to read 124 pages. Would someone be forgiving enough to tell me which 5 string I should buy- 435 735a BBP35 Really, is the 735a much better than the 435 (excepting the obvious fact that it’s active) obvs I need to play some, but I’m currently lying on the sofa so it’s not an immediate option.

Now you’re getting it 👍

Good work everyone

I’ve got a four string of this exact bass. Battery cover broken, bit battered but it sounds bloody ace.

I’m not sure yet to be honest, I can’t work out whether or not I want a tweeter or not. I might take you up on the offer yet, thank you. Ive compared the sound from the DI (in my studio) with the sound from the cab. The DI sounds clear a flat, in comparison to the mid hump of the cab. That said, this characteristic of the cab may well help with onstage audibility. Alex has recommended the BB2 and I am tempted to agree with him. I’d love to take advantage of the notblackfriday discount but I have no more spare cash right now.

So here’s my new to me rig. The head sounds massive. In my opinion this is Markbass’s best cab (size vs sound) but it is a little coloured with the classic mid range hump so a Barefaced is to follow I think.

Monster

Even just the one10 on its own?

Splendid. And how soundeth the dinosaur? And the rig?

I have returned to Ashdown, head at least, after years of Markbass. Very happy, I used to love my ABM500, now have the 600 and it’s lovely. I think the woolly comments used to come from people who didn’t disengage the scooped “shape” feature, which sounds poor in my opinion. yeah so, thumbs up from me.

Slightly odd thread, and I’m fully open to ridicule and indeed welcome it...but... Has anyone got any images of an Ashdown ABM head mounted upon various Barefaced cabs? BB2, Two10, Super Compact? Just curious to see how the overhang looks. Do your worst..

Bought Wayne’s ABM head today. Splendid fellow, met in a car park as is standard practice. Exchanged goods for cash. Stood in the cold for a bit. Came home. Stongly recommenced.

Great amps. And not really too heavy either. Big full loud sound.

Bingo, I shall proceed thanks all

So, I’ve got an old Yamaha BBn4. A few years ago I took it apart and rebuilt it with GandL Jazz pickups. It’s quite nice, but I noticed recently that one of the bridge screw holes in the body is stripped so the screw won’t tighten properly. I am intended to do the toothpick and wood glue fix that works for strap buttons, but just wondered if anyone had a better idea?

102hf is Markbass’s best cab in my experience.

Tony is a legend. Sold him an amp, shipped it, he paid. Great comms and a great guy. Deal with confidence

I can heartily recommend this fine fellow. Having arranged a convenient meet up to do the deal we both succumbed to a closed M1 in both directions. Four hours later, having met, I am home. Jack not only travelled further than originally agreed, but also included a nice speaker cable. So, he’s a legend. many thanks chris
