I think those are called guitars.

Guess what came in the post today?

The sound is great, how did you mic up the drums? That singer is also great, bass sounded OK (great really).

Guitarist!

As far as I know? Ashdown use Sica drivers, sometimes rebadged as Ashdown. Sometimes left with the Sica branding.

Slight update. The addition parts and wires have now been secured using a cool glue gun.

Looking at the current board it suits the Zoom B1 Four pus other pedals in a line. It will take the B2 Four but only if one of the other pedals is sideways. Looks like I will be making another one, taking account of all the lessons* of this one. It may be longer or add another cross beam, I will leave that until this one is finished. I have a gig on Saturday so I need to get a move on. Some of you will have seen that I am making an onboard Power Supply for this pedal board. That is progressing well. Of course there have been issues* but the latest iteration dies not semi to add any noise to the pedals I have. The material used for the top panel is strong enough but is really hard to work. Back to good old aluminium for the next one.

Me too but from: Basses 1. Fender (Japan) Aerodyne AJB65. 2. Sire Marcus Miller M2 3. G4M P Bass with Upgrades. Amps 1. Bugera Veyron (the mosfet one) 2. Ashdown Retriglide 800 3. Some Homebrew amp. Others 1. LFSys Monza 10” cab 2. Home brew 8” cab 3. Zoom B2 Four multi effects. 4. Homebrew pedalboard with integral PSU. For Sale Various Cables

Call Ashdown and ask for Dave Green. He will tell you whether it would work.

Just started a Harmonica for Lung Health course. Lesson 3 on Thursday.

Weird, I imported mine from Japan. It was still in tune when I got it.

Yhey are made by D'Addario so avoid those as well.

AD200 is the only valve amp I would consider...if I had a roadie...

I agree but add Di Marzio's to the list. Great pickups and fully adjustable pole pieces.

Save the Tort!

I have an earlier Black one but always lusted after a Dolphin Grey one. Enjoy!

The Rebbels are on a run of gigs now throughout the Summer, next on Saturday is The Oakdale Club in Poole. It is about 1.5 miles from home😄

It must be possible to make an ABM I. A smaller form factor. 300mm wide would suit me.

If you look at ICEPower range, the difference between the the A 125ASX2 and the 1200AS1 in volume is about $100. In bridge mode the 125ASX2 will do 500 watts into 4ohms and is used in a number of “500 watt” amplifiers. The 1200AS1 will need more thermal management than the 125ASX2, more than outweighing the cost implications of the bridging circuits required by the 125ASX2. Thr ASX and AS1 range of modules are used in many bass amplifiers. The 1200 watt unit will dive a loudspeaker harder than a 500 watt but will undoubtedly increase power compression in the loudspeaker, limiting the acoustic output by 1-2 dB, hence you could argue that the 1200 watt unit is the one that is the oddity in the range. Looking at the TE1200, the cost is £1000, way more expensive than the 500-700 watt models from Ashdown, Aguilar and even Harley Benton, all of which use ICEPower modules . I have been told, by people I trust, that the TE1200 is a superb amp so why not an amp filling the gap between 200 and 1200 watts? Clearly the TE branded Peavey ams, Elf and TE1200 have fairy dust inside so why not sprinkle some on a 500-700 watt amp? Although a qualified electronics engineer. I also spent a decade or more in a Marketing role. We had a single model in one category and the Factory developed three models to replace it to suit three different market segments. The Sakes Manager was convinced our sales would remain static. In the end our sales went up 250%. The reason? People could choose from within our range without having to search other manufacturers. So it makes sense for TE/Peavey. So whether a 500 watt TE500(Orca) is needed by bassists is in some way irrelevant, the truth is that there is a market segment for a TE amp in the 500-700 area at about £700-800.

I must admit that going a range one 200 watt amp and one 1200 watt amp suggest a hole in the range at 500–600 watts.

Not as bad as Fender Headstocks, though.

Yes, Mike's Somerset accent is a work in progress!

If you look at a typical driver, many manufacturers, Eminence for example, only publish the on axis response of their drivers. Most of the European manufacturers, Fane, Beyma, Feital Pro and Celestion (now Chinese owned but engineered in the UK I believe) publish both on and off axis frequency responses. Below is the frequency response of the Fane 10-300. All 10" drivers will be similar. You can see that at 45 degrees off axis, the output at 2KHz has dropped by approximately 10dB. With a properly designed two-way system with a compression driver, horn and crossover, the off axis response can be very close to the on-axis response of the single driver without sounding harsh or too trebley. If you think about where you ears are when a cab is on the floor, you may be well outside that 45 degree point so you cannot hear yourself properly. It does not matter what make you buy, It is Physics, and Ampeg, Barefaced, in fact no one can break those laws.

I would suggest leaving them off. Much of the "dust" inside pots is actually bits of carbon that are dislodged from the track, so excess movement will cause more dust.
