Is it good for Rat-tle?

Not having gigged DB since 2019, my gigbag has been in storage in my garage since then. Imagine my surprise when I pulled it yesterday to discover that it has been half-eaten and ravaged by mice. I feel a new commercial opportunity for mice-relic'd bass gear under the Road(ent)worn banner. Kerboom tish

Reminds me of JPJ's triple omega Alembic. Congrats on something a bit different and not Fender shaped

Thats what I found, quieter even than DR nickel rounds like Sunbeams and Pure Blues. I suspect that is the basis of the flat's comparison in marketing spiel but they do sound like mellow rounds to me

Super Twin is 3cm wider (48cm vs 45cm). And yes I have OCD about amp overhangs!!!

@Happy Jackthat does not look like a BB2, nor is Matamp a subsidiary of Ashdown. To the best of my knowledge 🤣

To revive this thread, has anyone got a pic of an ABM 600 on a Barefaced Big Baby 2? Interested to see if it looks silly with the overhangs or whether its barely noticeable. Reason for asking: I have a BB2 and am pondering a powerful amp to match it (and ABM 600 is in the mix due to adulation on the forum). Thx in advance

Ollie bought a Markbass AC combo from me. All good. Quick payment, friendly comms. Can't ask for more!!!

Doesn't sound especially clean on this video (albeit I can see the Gain is set pretty high). But I hear you on the 'booty' front

Hi Ashdown peeps, any views on the LB550? Doesn't seem to have been massively popular (still selling them at reduced £550 sale price on Ashdown website), yet an LB30 valve front end coupled to a 550W digital amp sounds like a recipe for a serious Orange Terror Bass competitor?

Nope, a used (2019) fireglo 4003. Its a light one at 9.0 pounds, which solves one of my problems with my previous jetglo 4003 (which was the wrong side of 9.5 pounds). Now that I am more used to the vagaries of the 4003S, lets see if I can cope with the ergonomics of a 4003. We will see. Arrives tomorrow, hopefully

Enjoying it, played 2 gigs with it now and .... ermmmm .... might have accidentally ordered a 2nd Ricky

April 2022 and some time in 2012 (wearing zombie make up before you ask)

I believe they last for months if not years, based on what I have read. They are even lower tension than the flats at about 122 pounds per set vs 135 pounds, from memory. I have a set but my only issue is they need space to vibrate, being looser, and so the action has to be cranked up a bit (and the truss rod loosened). SO there is a bit of a trade-off between ultra low tension and higher action in my view

Bought a BF BB2 off Chris, who answered my Items Wanted ad. Could not have been more helpful. Many thanks!

Well, that's me told! Apologies if I offended, different strokes for different folks. Boring old world if we all had the same taste
