[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1423148877' post='2681439'] Then why bring it up? Patronising at best. [/quote] Because he is obviously self conscious and it may be a way of combating that, I haven't seen him I'm only going by what he said, I had similar issues myself.

Here's one I did a few years back

Guitarist from Bowling for Soup.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1423142578' post='2681307'] Helpful. [/quote] I wasn't being nasty, but he said it himself.

Still better than Michael Bay's Transformers.

[quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1423132871' post='2681079'] Before you ask, sadly this is not mine, but it does belong to a friend. He is a lucky lucky guy. [/quote] I'd say, look at the size of his garden.

Oh my.

There is no way it's going to look as silly as this and he pulls it off.

Could always do some exercise.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1423080787' post='2680551'] Whether it is before it's time, I don't know... but its a cool piece of studio kit/practice amp. [/quote] Not really, most people already have these things Ashdown have put them in a box.

[quote name='Guinness21' timestamp='1423077272' post='2680458'] If you're into yellow basses, then you'll love these Dingwall basses! [/quote] Incorrect.

I believe it isn't straight to account for the curvature of the earth, tallest bridge in the world.

South of France, they had trouble every year with the motorway traffic having to go through the town so they built that enormous bridge now they get more traffic in the town with tourists coming to see the bridge.

I adore it.

Feel good thread of the year

I'm not sure if I like it but it looks like it's priced about right.

[quote name='Ashdown Engineering' timestamp='1422873964' post='2677678'] Comments like this are always interesting. [/quote] I find it strange that Ashdown are thought of as premium in America and Ampeg are thought of as premium here but in their own countries they aren't, the Atlantic must do something to the sound. I'm no longer an Ashdown user but I have had nothing but positives experiences with Ashdown, I just find the heads aren't to my taste it's just in my opinion (and obviously I'm no expert) is that this one product would have been better if you used lower cost components to open it up to more people rather than having it as a premium product that few will be able to justify. Also bring back the Perfect 10 mini rig.

ABM stuff is bomb proof. I gigged a ABM410 in a punk band with an SVT5 for years not a single issue.

[quote name='Ashdown Engineering' timestamp='1422631135' post='2674901'] Having just returned from the NAMM show the B-Social was a huge hit(winning a spot in the top 5 products of NAMM 2015) and not one person who tried it/saw it quibbled about the price in any way. Also for the guy who said it won't handle a 5 string we had numerous 5 strings going through it at NAMM and a couple of 6 strings... All sounded great. [/quote] I have had a bike for sale for the last month, I have had many enquirers, no one has quibbled with the price, it's still in my garage.

[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1422759426' post='2676564'] Impressed that someone from Ashdown has taken the time to come on here and defend their product, but sorry, having suffered your amps in most London rehears studios in recent years you're fighting a losing battle. A few big names may use your gear, but they must be getting them as endorsements, since I'd rather use Peavey cabs and Behringer heads given the choice (and I use them as examples since they seem to be the only alternative in London). Plus, I know the bass tech for one of those names mentioned, so I know in that specific case your gear's only used since he's endorsed by you. [/quote] I think that's unfair, whilst Ashdown aren't my cup of tea they obviously have a huge fan base both at hobby and pro level. I just feel that this product as nice as it looks could be replicated at a fraction of the cost.

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1422691342' post='2675629'] I love Ashdown amps, I've used them for quite a long time on and off (the "off" times were purely because of weight when I was out gigging) and am very happy with my current Mibass combo. The only reason I'm sorry that it's £600 is that I don't have £600 right now, but consider me starting to save for one! Everything I need plus more in a little space saving box that me and the Mrs can also use for music and movies from phone/iPad? Sold! P.S. You guys are really harsh. Those scathing comments were unpleasant to read through. At least try something before bitching about it in public.

I agree with the other comments, I like the look but couldn't justify the price.
