First proper playthrough with my new ABM. Beautiful.

I just bought John's Ashdown ABM. Nice guy, good Comms, easy transaction... Deal with confidence.

hi all. Recently purchased a BF Super Twin and am looking for a new amp to go through it. The RM800 Evo II seems to tick every box - does anyone have any experience with this combo?

Ampeg 810 and SVT. Obviously...

I'd be interested to know your thoughts as I've had my eye on one of these...

I loved mine. Don't regret selling it but do miss it, which seems a bit weird. It sounded great with a P and a pick.

Yes and no... Sound engineers loved it too.

I had a CTM100. Although I don't regret selling it (didn't use it enough), it's by far and away the best amp I've ever owned. I played it through an Ampeg 410 with the settings flat and all the buttons pushed in. Heaven.

There is a third option – invent a time machine and stop myself selling my Bergantino CN212 in 2016, but my budget may not stretch to that.

I’ll set the scene first… my current band is myself, one very loud guitarist (2x12 valve amp), one very loud drummer. Currently playing a Precision through a Mk 1 Orange TB500, using one of the studio’s many 4x10 cabs. Heavy rock/punk/surf – it’s a bit of a mix but it’s mainly filth. However, our rehearsal studio is closing down and our new space has no backline. I have a hefty Ashdown 4x10 in my garage, it sounds fine but is so heavy and the thought of parking and lugging the thing all over Oxfordshire for rehearsals and gigs isn’t great. In short, I need something smaller and lighter that can get loud. Tone isn’t too important as I change my mind about it every other day – I just need enough volume on tap. In an ideal world I can see myself with a bass on my back, amp in one hand, cab in another – a one trip wonder, if you will. I have narrowed it down to two options – Barefaced Big Baby or 2 x Orange OBC112. I’ve heard/read that one BB would be enough, but I can’t help but be sceptical, especially at the volumes I’m currently playing at. For gigs it probably wouldn’t be an issue as I’m usually DI’d, but I’m reluctant to spend £1k+ on something that may not have enough headroom. The Big Twin looks a little too large for me, even if it is light. Barefaced Big Baby owners - can it really do everything it claims to? On the other hand, the Orange 112’s look awesome and are a bit cheaper, but I will lose the One Trip Wonder aspect that I so crave. I’m confident two of these would give me more than enough power though. Has anyone tried/owned two OBC112's - what did you think of them? Yes, I realise I’m coming from a very narrow/simplified POV, so any further suggestions/advice are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This sums it up perfectly

I'm looking for the same photo 😂
