I had exactly this problem with my ray - wacked in a bit of extra low mids on the amp eq and problem solved.

Get it multi tracked so you can get more breathing space between the instruments as everything sounds really close. Sounds good though considering it was improvised in one take. Love the little drum sample, where did that come from?[/quote] Cheers dude - the drum loop is just a sample I had from somewhere (used to write a lot of loop based music so have tons and tons of wav files) the original is a lot faster, it's been time stretched and messed about with a fair bit.

Right - I set up cubase on loop record and laid down some bass and a couple of acoustic guitar tracks - everything in one take and completely improvised. The bass is my squier fretless through some fx and stuff. Sounds kinda weird and the recordings not great (or the playing) but thought I might as well chuck it up here anyway.[attachment=26732:loop.mp3]

Me and the guitarist in my band have got fed up with our band not actually ever getting anything done and started to write some heavier tunes as a bit of a side project - this was done in 2.5 hours round his house today. Cubase is the bestest thing ever [attachment=26233:demo1.mp3]

Bought an Ibanez Wah pedal off Ray - turned up really quickly, great condition, well packed etc. - great guy to deal with.

Mike bought my ODB3 - paid straight away - great guy to deal with.

I mentioned the Ashdown cabs due to the fact that the guy uses an ashdown head and Ashdown heads are not well known for their hybrid features. And as for selling the 8x10 to get a 2 4x10's the ABM won't be able to match the power he already has in fact he will probably loose power and clarity doing that or just stay the same. True the 2 4x10's will allow more flexibility for manoeuvrability but then you have to think to yourself what is more important? the fact that you can carry your CABs easily or improving your sound to your own needs? like I stated that was just my view on the situation and is this.[/quote] Actually I think you probably mentioned the Ashdown MAG cabs cos you're selling some

David bought my bassballs nano - paid straight away, quick response to pm's etc. - great guy to deal with.

How about adding another 8 x 10 and having more of everything?

That way you can keep your combo at home and it shouldn't be as expensive as hiring a whole amp and also you don't have to buy any new gear. Actually I just checked the Joint's hire prices and you can hire an Ampeg 8 x 10 for 1 pound an hour!! that seems super reasonable to me.

Thought i'd Share this one!....Phoned Ashdown late on a Friday Afternoon regarding a replacement pot on a small practice amp,id just been to Maplins and it seemed the pot wasnt standard(shorter shaft on the Ashdown one).Anyway i spoke to a guy called Russ i believe,who knew exactly what i was talking about and even sorted another wiring dilemma i had.He took my name and address and said he would pop a replacement in the post no charge!.......which was Nice!........Bloody Hell!.....Saturday Morning! the parcels on the doormat. Now if thats not Great Service...... Many Thanks Ashdown!... Martin. For a split second that was confusing!.....Thanks for moving this! [/quote] I just had an email from Russ - someone pinched one of the knobs and all of the little white tips for the eq sliders off the front of my ABM, so I emailed Ashdown to try and get some replacements and guess what -they're in the post today free of charge!!! I don't care what any of the Ashdown haters on here say - the company is genious. And in general the stuff is super reliable - ok they had some qc issues when they moved production over to prc, but then again tell me one big manufacturer that hasn't had some sort of QC issue at some point, cos I can't think of one.

Zon?
