Totally agree. Had an original (20 yo) chrome ABM 500 which they serviced for me for free. Sounded amazing. only recently sold it because I had the opportunity to upgrade it to a limited edition ABM 600. I also bought a studio 210 combo for rehearsals/jam night gigs. 👍 Ashdown

Combinations of kit that are a sonic match made in heaven

My Ashdown ABM 600 (20th anniversary) and my Barefaced Supertwin. Absolute amazing tone and tons of power! -
Big fan of the SCs, 2 are better but ideally if you could find a Super Twin, get that and sell all of your other cabs. Thank me later.

Just watching Blondie do Rapture. The band sound great and even her rapping vocals aren’t too bad either.

Think it has now been reduced to £185 but unfortunately still weighs 58kg

Good P Bass option that doesn't weigh a ton?

If you buy something like a comfort strapp then that will also help with the weight stress on your back and shoulders too. -
Ok I’ve just watched the clip. I take it all back. That was f*cking terrible.

She was born on the exact same day as my mother in law. 1st July 1945. She is almost 80. I think to get up on stage and still be gigging is amazing.

I used to go there in the late 80’s and 90’s. Absolute bass heaven. Got to see Billy Sheehan do a couple of clinics there and even got the chance to play his actual bass too. Must have been around 91-92ish. Good times.

Speaker cable question (running 2x big twin 2 gen3..)
pbasspecial replied to Benji85's topic in Amps and Cabs
Are you sure it’s not the amp reaching breaking point. Is the gain too, making the preamp tubes over saturate. I have an ABM 600 into a BF with never any PA support and it barely breaks a sweat. Usually the gain is at 3 o clock and the master at 9 o’clock. -
For those who have had to use a backup bass, why?
pbasspecial replied to Lozz196's topic in General Discussion
Match sticks work a treat as a mini dowl to fill out the hole. -
I think the comp before the ABM gives it a shot of caffeine but I was just interested as an experiment. Have 3 gigs this week so will continue to experiment but I think I’m am about to offload a lot of decent pedals very soon. Undoubtedly I’ll probably buy a new load in the upcoming months once GAS re-strikes!

How many basses do you take on stage?
pbasspecial replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
2 - main and a spare. Broken 2 strings playing live, had an input socket fall into beside the bass and also had an earth wire detach too. No worries with a back up, brown trousers without. -
So usually I run a pedal board before my amp. I have tuner - comp - oct - drive - phaser - OE super vintage - ABM 600. However as an experiment last night I decided to run clean straight into the amp and now seriously wonder why I have a £1000 worth of pedals when it sounds amazing just on its own! 😢😂
