    Location/Venue: Ulster Schools drama "thing". Outdoors at Stranmillis College in Belfast, scorching hot day in June '92. Lots of unfamiliar young ladies from other schools running around...Your age: 15Your bass: Sunn Mustang (pointy headstock p-bass thing)Your amp: Vantage 30wThe set list (some of it): Some originals, a few Metallica covers. Camcorder footage of it was recently discovered. Really not good.

    More and more lovely!

    That little H&K looks nice but not sure, without having played one, how good it would be for bass (more thinking the gain structure than anything)... I know that the little Epiphone Valve Jr/Harley Benton HB5 amps are supposed to be quite usable with a bass cab...

    Funny my only concern with owning a short scale bass was for the same reason. But look at guys like Pino or Dave Swift who are SO tall they make normal scale basses look like toys! Would you let it put you off playing a guitar?

    Awesome. Was very critical of the pricepoint of these when they were released, but it would be cheeky not to at this price... Just snagged the oak fronted one from same seller. That's my Christmas present to myself sorted out!

    Does anybody have an Ashdown CTM15 schematic?

      Tried speaking to Ashdown? They're very helpful, with excellent customer service usually. Even if they don't offer a schematic (it is their IP of course), they may offer to help with a repair.

      Not needed for a repair Si. As Baldrick would say "I have a cunning plan"... One I don't think Ashdown would be interested in assisting with!

    And, as discussed previously on these pages, the CTM15 is not "ALL VALVE". The preamp is solid state (see pic). Opamps and trannies in there. Ashdown and Hayden use the same PCB for CTM15 bass and MoFo 15 guitar amps. The unoccupied V3 socket in the pic is for the "magic eye" valve on the MoFo 15. Didn't stop me buying one for messing around the house with though! !

    In the 2nd picture the cabinet covers the lettering on the faceplate in places ("input" and "f.x." on the left). Something doesn't look right there... Could be angle of the photo I suppose but I don' think so in this case. Whatever way you cut it the LB30 was way cooler than the CTM30... Perhaps misguided in the naming, but otherwise cooler!!! AND narrower... CTM30 is 3" wider than the height of the One10. As I mentioned in the Tweedy thread, one of the reasons I sold my CTM30 is that it was wider than my Barefaced Two10, which I use vertically (same 15" as the One10 is tall).
  13. Bigwan
    I should have said 3" too wide at best (it was one of the reasons I sold my CTM30 - looked all wrong on my Two10! Ironically the LB30 would have been a perfect fit...). Barefaced have changed logo position when asked, although I don't recall if that was on a cloth or steel grill version...
  14. Bigwan
    CTM30 is 3" too wide. Most folks OCD wouldn't allow it!
  15. Bigwan
    Think the price would scare me off. Big $ being talked about...
  16. Bigwan
    Wondering how you arrive at that? Similar setup to the GK MB200 and there don't seem to be issues there.

    Soften the glare. Not my usual type of stuff I have to say, but Ryan Martinie is an absolute demon!

    The irony of a "travel bass" in a full sized hard case...

    Not for a valve amp. Solid state, maybe. An inefficient driver would be the ticket. I've yet to try the CTM15 unfortunately. Mad, mad busy the last few weeks... And I keep forgetting it's under my desk at work!!!
  23. Bigwan
    Ah I see, not so big an issue then!
