[quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1468065244' post='3088385'] Bought as a stop gap until a Warwick SS1 was found. I now have a Stage 1 so the Spector is going... Early 2000 ish solid maple Wings, Schaller Machine Heads including drop D extender, EMG pickups and 3 band circuit, high power output. Very rare Emerald Green colour. This bass has definitely had a life, there's a thread on this site regarding the original import from the USA, it goes on to say the bass had been turned into a fretless at some stage. The person that imported it had the bass re fretted, it's also had the machine heads repositioned, I guess in the Warwick style and then returned back to original. It has the odd mark/knock and lacquer is missing from the end of the frets. I was planning on having the frets dressed and the edge of the fret board tidied up but decided against it. It still in decent condition and looks great. I'm based in the North East but will deliver to most places in the North by hand. I do not have a hard case for this bass so will not post. I'm looking for 700 ono. If you want it dropping off I'll be needing fuel money. [/quote] Bought as a stop gap until a Warwick SS1 was found. I now have a Stage 1 so the Spector is going...

The Streamer looks stunning

Very nice, it looks quite evil. Do the Anniversary Euros have the standard neck width or are they 1.5"

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1466847416' post='3079304'] Mini amps don't do it .... but have their uses. You can't have a skybox on a 610 tho [/quote] Very good. Lol

Yes. You are right about the EQ. It's very subtle, the buttons do make a big difference, but the controls are limited. Luckily it sounds great when you plug straight in. I suppose a compact 100W BTA head would be my ideal amp... If they made one. Maybe ashdown would like to make me a one off, just to test of course, probably over a 25 year period or until I pop me clogs... that would be helpful.

I like it, the industrial look. Fits in well with the drum machine we use. I cannot wait to thrash this set up... Maybe this Sunday, fingers crossed. Listen out for the sound of thunder, it'll be me.
-
Wow, that's really nice
-
It's landed. I now need to book a rehearsal room for two hours to break it in... Just me, my gear and some ear plugs.

Fitted Side Handles to my Ashdown Toneman 300
2elliot replied to SpondonBassed's topic in Amps and Cabs
Ashdown customer service is excellent. -
Ashdown Neo 1x15 with horn 8ohm. Compact,lightweight design. 17kg one hand lift. This is one of the early UK builds so comes with the strap handle on top. It has feet on the bottom and the side, so can be used either way. It has been used and gigged for several months but it still in good condition. I've just got a BF410 so this is up for grabs. Over £500 new £225 collected from Hartlepool Or can drop off in Northeast Yorkshire and maybe Carlisle.
-
Yes. I have the same head going through an Ashdown Neo 1x15. It's loud. With the gain at elevenish and the master at twelve ish, and that's with the deep bass switched in. The tone controls act as volume as well, if the tone controls are all set at zero no sound will come out even with the gain and master cranked. Fingers crossed my BF410 should land this week for even more noise. It's a great head, go try one but remember to crank it in the shop and have a good fiddle with all the knobs and dials.

Stings bass looks unbelievably comfy.

[quote name='Minty' timestamp='1464861458' post='3063186'] My recent recording rig at Middle Farm Studios: I mostly used the '83 Squier JV Jazz into a '77 Ampeg VT-40 -> '60s Fender 2x15, an early Ampeg SVT Classic -> an old Ampeg 8x10, and a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier -> Mesa 4x12. The cabs were isolated in 2 separate rooms because everything was running hot and loud. The Peavey 2x15 pictured was used for a monitor, room sound and general vibe! [/quote] Nice, lovin' the white jazz lamp stand

Simple Minds - Sparkle in the Rain Blu-Ray Audio

1St band I watched live. Birmingham NEC some time in the early eighties. They were great. -
[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1463401621' post='3051008'] Get a larger car. Bass players and tiny rides don't mix. Just be thankful you don't play drums. [/quote] An old drummer friend of mine could get his full kit in a Mini. Not the fat blob new one but an old Cooper. It's as if the car was designed around a bass drum, amazing thing.

Very nice. I still fancy one of these little heads. Ashdown have just uploaded a new retroglide video on YouTube, it's sounds great.
-
Def Leppard version?
-
Sold a bass to Gary this week. Excellent communication and paid on the date given. A very easy and pleasant person to deal. Many thanks Bren

Definitely Ashdown

Cool. I enjoyed that. Cheers

Who is the fret expert in the North East or Yorkshire?
2elliot replied to 2elliot's topic in Repairs and Technical
It may required all of that or part, I'm not 100% sure. It'll require some paint on the neck too.
