I used an Ampeg PF-500 for about 6 years and I loved it. Light, loud and it sounded like an ampeg Just over a year ago I bought an Ashdown RM500 EVO II. Even lighter at 2.5Kgs. I love it. Bags of volume and balls. I like the compressor and the a little bit of the in-built overdrive. I bought it on black friday for £399. Awesome. I kept the ampeg as a spare and use it in my practice room (the loft lol). I wanted to go Ashdown as I think they are a great customer focused company, fantastic service etc. And it was Lozz who told me how good they were

how do the strings feel, compared to a 34" scale bass? Tension wise? cheers

But does he play with a pick or fingers😂

Also you need to remember the desk. For about 10 years I have used an Allen & Heath ZED-FX22 desk. Initially with the already mentioned Wharfdale EVP powered subs and tops. A good, cheap set-up but then I bought QSC stuff. K12s x 2 and Ksub x 2. OMFG. Really good sound and I also use this gear for an outside gig that I do. It really is awesome. In my duo, keys, guitar and vocals, we started using a the K12s with the 22 channel Allen & heath desk. A really great sound but the desk is too big, so I bought a Behringer desk with FX. XENYX X1204USB 8 Channel Analog Mixer yep, it sounded ok and I got used to it but for one gig went back to the bigger desk and the difference was night and day. So I went and bought a small Allen and Heath Zed-10FX desk . So much more musical than the Behringer and sounding like the 22FX so please remember the desk counts for a lot.

6 in my household, I have 4 and Mrs Police squad has 2. This mrs PS PB-75US from Japan Next up, my '73 Here's my Bravewood Sting replica Another half Bravewood Sting replica My PB-75US FL japan bass Mrs PS Bravewood '63 replica

yep great service. I had a faulty new amp, emailed Mark (long story, no good going back to the shop as they didnt have any more stock) and he sent me a brand new amp, even before they had received back the faulty one. That's customer service

Drove through Kessingland, it's nice there IIRC

agreed, this

I've just spent a few days in Suffolk/Norfolk and really enjoyed myself. Saw a band in Lowestoft on Friday and had a great time. What's the scene like in Norfolk? cheers

it is the same colour. Apparently Mark from Ashdown found it for him

Here are my unlined team A Bravewood body, EY parts neck Fender Japan Fretless Stagg 3/4 EDB Ibanez Musician The Red Bravewood bodied bass is the best sounding. Ibanez has plenty of Mwah

I was quite looking forward to Dave Bickler as I have been doing 'Eye of the Tiger' for a good few years now. There are some good acts, which would have been great, to accompany the 2 that cancelled.

yes I know the Stray bass player is here. I also know the Procol guitar player quite well, it was him that told me about procol cancelling. They haven't really replaced the cancelled acts with anything nearly as good

agreed, it's just life. We got a cracking black friday deal for our apartment too, we were really looking forward to it oh well

nope, none offered

We were going to Minehead to watch this weekend. Lake side apartment on the bill Procol Harum and GUN. 2 bands I've always wanted to see. Others playing, Stray, Pat Mcmanus, Bernie Marsden, Dave Bickler (survivor singer) Yesterday both Procol and GUN cancelled😪. I know Gary Brooker has had a car accident and broken ribs. Gun haven't said why they're not playing. We're not going now, it's ruined my day but I'll get over it.
