[quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1397901818' post='2428359'] Anyone remember Vinegar Joe? A band from the 70's with RP and Elkie Brookes sharing vocals. [/quote] Aye! Vinegar Joe were great. I vividly remember Elkie Brooks, but must admit I'd totally forgotten that RP was in there too. Must be that I'm strictly a lesbian.

Not written by him, but still luvverly, is Todd Rundgren's "Can We Still Be Friends", here in the version from RP's "Secrets" album: [media]http://youtu.be/iDzdy9LwNaE[/media]

Well, it just had to happen, hadn't it? Since you bought this Eldorado, I mean. [URL=http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/basstractor1/media/CadillacEldoradoBiarritz1958_zps2e76db0d.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r525/basstractor1/CadillacEldoradoBiarritz1958_zps2e76db0d.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Congrats with a luvverly bass! I hope she serves you well, Oh, and thanks for the inspiration. I need to sell all my basses as well.

Nice, Chris! Exactly what cabs are those? DB? Do you like them? I'm heavily contemplating ordering a few Aguilar 112s unseen and unheard, based on what BC has said earlier - probably DBs.

Welcome, Ben! Yeah, twas my Google searches for bass info that led me hither as well. Enjoy it! Bert

Badboy, I know it's off topic, but what are you hoping to achieve? My first impression of both makes me think I'd rather shove my basses through the BC212 than through the MAG 410. Also, it's called [b]BC[/b] fer cryin' out loud!

Welcome, Antonio! Bert

[quote name='ape' timestamp='1397574023' post='2425274'] I've had one of the ashdown mini stacks before and was impressed with the tone [/quote] Similarly, I'm thoroughly impressed with my LB112s. They sound lovely with an old skool amp like the Little Bastard, and open up and show their ability to be quicker and airier than expected when getting a signal from a Genz Benz GBE. Love 'em.

[quote name='ape' timestamp='1397501775' post='2424585'] being bog standard isn't a bad thing depending on what the standard 4x10'cabs sound like lol [/quote] Me, I've only had a MAG 410, and agree with the notion that at least that one is not woolly. That said, I did experience it as being slightly indifferent/lazy, which could well be the gate to woolliness. Reports on how the ABM differs from the MAG are wildly varying, so I think you should hear an ABM for yourself so you're not guided in the wrong direction.

Welcome, Miguel! Bert

Welcome, Fred! Nope, we took it to mean you're 142 years old. How wrong can one be, eh? Enjoy! Bert

IMS, Ashdown themselves have confirmed the Bentleys were a design thing, and were technically bog standard.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1397458194' post='2423976'] 'Complimenting' I'd say :-) [/quote] Ah! So that's what it's called? Thanks! [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1397458194' post='2423976'] Btw, re. picture above holding the green Bongo - you look different to how I would have imagined you, should I have ever tried to imagine you (prior to seeing that picture) [/quote] Was waiting for a comment like that. You'd expect an ugly, depressed, old, bald, fat bloke wouldn't you? Well, you'd be right. She OTOH is a friend of mine, and a real woman despite the slightly androgynous look on this here pic.

Well, you did say "matching" and this IS matching, innit? For the inquisitive mind: Daisy Rock Debutante Daisy (short scale), of unknown build year, in the colour Awesome Blue. [url="http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/basstractor1/media/DaisyRockDR6022DebutanteDaisyawesomeblue_zps88dd89ac.jpg.html"][/url]

Oops here too. The colour of the Dargie Delight is called Olive Green aka Logan Green. The "shifting" colour of the Dargie Delight II is called Caramel Apple Delight.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1397386935' post='2423375'] Believe it or not "Bell End" is a village in Worcester! [/quote] Aye, in Bromsgrove, and thus situated near Canuck Chase!

Welcome, Glenn! Bert

Sorry lass, I was under the misguided impression every Canadian knew the term. An Ontarian friend of mine taught it to me, and he told me it's an ugly derogatory term for canucks, but not necessarily meant to harm: "Hey, kanuk breath! Great seeing you! Come sit with us!" As to South Wales, there's many of that particular faith here on BC. That's one part of why I couldn't resist that bit (the other part being that I've been there for work a lot, and love it to bits). As to my location, I'm not in NL. I'm in NO! But to better answer the question: I'm Dutch but live in the extreme South of Norway.

[quote name='woodster' timestamp='1397327758' post='2422913'] My 2 Overwaters. [/quote] Me likey! Is the blue one meant to be like a Jazz?

[quote name='Urban Bassman' timestamp='1397297137' post='2422527'] Nice! [/quote] Aye. Tend to agree. Took me seven years to land one. I couldn't afford a Tangerine Pearl, but it's still on my list! BTW, have posted it before, but for the sake of this thread, here's my 2009 Bongo 4-HS Dargie Delight II, the second and up to now last run of the Dargies. The shifting colour's called Caramel Apple Delight. As you can see, the angle of the light has a lot to say, and that's why the headstock seems not matching: [url="http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/basstractor1/media/Marina20121224Bongo_zpsa09d14d5.jpg.html"][/url]

I have no answer for your question, but in my mind it all comes down to how "exciting" you want to live. If you want security, then keep the EDB, and buy the SR in addition. Play them for say half a year, and then decide which has to go. If you want to live exciting, then simply ditch both and get a Bongo 6-HH or something pointy and nasty.

Welcome, kanuk breath! (Sorry, couldn't resist) Of course Canadians are welcome. It's the South Wales bit we strive with. Bert (Dutch)

Welcome, Sven! Post your questions in the Bad Jokes thread. That's all we read anyway. Bert

Welcome, Paul! So, what's inbetween the strengths? Bert

Welcome, Al! Bert (57 and rockin' that there chair)
