I have a Trace Elliot 600 watt amp so thats like 1200 ordinary watts then I like the look and the sound of the amp, the power doesn`t mean much. It has green lights on the front panel as well!!

They are an older model. I had one a few years ago and it was ok but not as good as a VM or Classic Vibe but they are a good bit more expensive second hand. Do you like the sound and the feel of it? For £120 it could be a bargain.

It wasn`t really a Cliff bassline originally. It was played by on the record by Mark Evans or George Young depending whose story you believe. But Cliff is/was the man. To the op. The best version is on the Let there be rock film from Paris in 79 imo. I play in a dc covers band and we always start with it and as it starts with the bass, I love it! The most important thing as said above, is to lock in with the drums. Phil Rudd and Cliff are tighter than a nats chaf. Don`t add it too much either, they are simple lines, played very well. The amount of guys on Ya Tube I see adding in fills where there never was any Good luck!!

I had a VM 77 in black, added some Schaller tuners, Jazz knobs and it looked and sounded rather good. So why did I sell it? GAS!!

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1483738483' post='3209804'] Do you/He actually think that about Jazz.? Jazz is way bigger than what he's talking about. [/quote] Oh yeah, I think he does. Have you heard what he says about Ned Sheeran? Still if you watch all the videos with the fan in it, he gives the guy pelters for wearing a black shirt, so I imagine that on our sister site, Shirtchat, there will be a discussion on his dislike of black shirts Or maybe not....

I like Noel. He is one of the few honest guys left in the music industry. Says what he thinks and doesnt give a monkeys what you or I think about it. Jazz ain`t really my bag but some of the Quincy Jones stuff is fantastic. However, I have heard the type of Jazz music that he describes in the video and he is spot on.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1483635667' post='3208929'] Very adjustable, but a complete pain to set up. I'd go for the Schaller 3D design over this provided that it offers enough adjustment for you needs. [/quote] Looks a quality piece of kit. https://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_3d4_c.htm

I used a TC 210 with a Ashdown Mag head for a year or so and it was a nice combination. I looked at the Peavey when it came out but as you say, there is very little info about them.

[quote name='Harryburke14' timestamp='1483556160' post='3208244'] Theres a 500w Ashdown ABM in the classifieds for £200 that Im tempted by, but unsure of a cab that would suit RE wattage, ohms, etc. As i say, Im lacking any clue as to what Im doing. [/quote] Perfect for all your gigging needs if you like the Ashdown sound. Any decent cab with around 400 watts at 8 ohms will be fine.

I like the look of the SR300E with the powerspan pickups. Good variety of tones there I imagine. I have owned a few 300`s and they have all been nice. Haven`t had a 174 but did have a TRBX 304 with an active set up and handy tone switching which is a nice bass but is £70 dearer than the Ibby, so the 300 is on budget. You would be better having a blast on the both of them and see what suits you best.

If it improves the quality of the performance. I`m all for using a tablet. Does anyone watching a band really care if someone uses a tablet?

Re the speakers. I have a ABM Mini 2 x 10, British made that has 2 Celestion speakers in it and they are black After reading this thread, I`m really missing my ABM 500 Evo. Might have to look into getting one again.

They should have asked Santa for a new paragraph for Christmas.

I feel really sad for his young kids. The passing of your father at any time is bad enough but at this time of year, it is especially sad. The only good thing is at least they will be able to look back at the performances and interviews that their dad did. I always liked Rick as he seemed quite honest about his lifestyle and didn`t try to hide the way he lived his life. And what a rhythm player he was. Look at some of the clips from the Frantic 4`s last tour, he was knocking the hell out of his Tele. Rip Rockin Rick.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1482311309' post='3199345'] Must admit an Ashdown ABM Evo amp-head is on my shopping list. I love the ABM cabs too, but they`re just a bit too heavy for me. [/quote] I had one of the last ABM 500 evo3`s and foolishly sold it. The guy I sold it to said I was mad to sell it! How right he was!! Bought a Peavey minimax but didn`t like it. Nothing against class D stuff, just didn`t like that amp. I now have a British made ABM 2x10 compact cab that weighs 21kg and a TE head that almost weighs the same but it sounds good to me so I dont mind a bit of carrying.

To be honest, whatever product I buy with supplied screws and plugs, I bin them and use good quality items as the ones supplied by the manufacturers are usually guff. Glad to hear the bass is mostly ok as that could have been an expensive one.

Korg Pitch Black. I prefer it to the Polytune clip which tends to pick up sounds from everywhere. And I hate the look of clip on tuners at a gig. Just looks wrong to me.

They are nice but not £1500 nice!!
