Two of my basses have split-pickup outputs. My Epiphone Zenith bass and my Rickenbacker 4003 (Rick-O-Sound). I normally use a mono effects chain setup from the mono out. In order, Tuner (Boss TU-2), Compressor (MXR M87), Distortion (Electro-Harmonix bass Big Muff Pi), Pre-Amp (Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI). I also have a Zoom B1 four multi-effects processor and a Joyo A-B selector pedal that I can use if needed. The output then goes into either my Mark Bass Little Mark III, my Ashdown ABM C210H-500 EVO III, or direct to PA. I want to start experimenting with a split-pickup setup. I think, using most effects on the bridge pickup and keeping the neck pickup chain minimal, but I'm not sure about compression. What do people recommend? Most comments I have seen say just experiment, but with the number of possible combinations it's hard to know where to start.

I got a copy of the schematics for the Superfly 500. If anyone wants a copy, PM me.

Any chance I could have a copy of the schematic Bill?

One contact down. Alto at Lauderdale have denied all knowledge, and say they've never built for Ashdown. I'll try the Italian one. Thanks BassBunny

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1376481353' post='2174476'] Try Alto, that's who made them. Once upon a time you could download the schematic from Ashdown, but that was when they were in production and you probably didn't need it, as opposed to now, when you do need it. [/quote] Thanks Bill. I'm assuming you mean Alto in Lauderdale, FL. I've sent them a message.

I have an Ashdown Superfly 500 amp that I'm trying to repair. The Superfly has 2x250w power amps onboard. One of mine has blown. Ashdown UK can't supply components to repair, and unfortunately, Ashdown try to diguise the discrete components on the board. I've managed to identify the power amps ic's, marked ADU27, as a TDA8927. I still need to identify the chip ADU29, if anyone can help. The amp boards are marked HB01050 D300W VER050426. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement board? Or, does anyone out there have a Superfly with a busted channel that I could buy off them?
