You'll soon have half a dozen once the GAS takes over

    The Bender Collision was reviewed in the defunct Bassist mag a few years ago. They gave it a very good review stating that it was really playable bass and not just a novelty.

    I've done a search for melded array on FB and BFM and I can't find a description of what it actually is. Could you point me to a thread about it. The mind boggles just imagining 12 piezos fitted to a 1 x 10

    But listen to the audio clips on that site. It's got a surprisingly good tone.

    [quote name='finnbass' post='108142' date='Dec 22 2007, 02:10 PM']That looks stunning If I didn't already have an OMNI15 and a pair of 10.5s I'd tear your arm orf [/quote] Finn, what do you use the Omni15 for? Don't the 2 10.5s cover all gigs?

    The imminent birth of a pair of Omni10.5s and the need to buy a Precision means I'm looking to shift this cab. It's a 2x10 and 500watts, 8 ohms, 49lbs and a very easy one man lift I would say it's probably the best sounding cab I've owned or heard. I sold the Schroeder you can see next to it in the picture because the BFM sounded so much better I didn't see any point in keeping it. I've got pictures of the innards and the build process for anyone who's interested. I took a lot of care building this because I had intended to keep it, and I'm something of an obsessive perfectionist so it's well put together, but GAS has finally got the better of me. £400, and that's a bargain for a cab that sounds this good. I'm in South Hampshire for anyone who wants a demo. Any questions please ask. Now £350. I would also be interested in trading for a Precision with a rosewood board with some folding stuff from me depending on what the P is.

    Yeah great sound. I'd like to know what amp setup he's using

    Very Interesting shootout between an Ampeg SVT and Laney Nexus with their respective 8x10s.
  21. DirkThrust
    I think it's an improvement
  22. DirkThrust
    Very nice bass though

    +1 to all of the above. I've got nothing but praise for Ashdown's customer service. THey always reply promptly to e-mails no matter how stupid the question. On the occasion I had to return my head to them it was fixed and back at the dealer within 4 days. And that was 4 years after I bought it.

    Just to confuse you further Sk8, The Highway P Bass has the greasebucket(?) circuitry in it. This is supposed to be a considerable improvement over the traditional P Bass tone control which basically just rolls off the treble, and the S1 which I always find is next to useless on the P, as it seems like everyone else does. I read a review in one of the mags. I think it was G****r & Bass magazine. They said it was the best Precision Fender had ever produced and a real improvement over the Am Series. I also agree with the above comment about the moulded hardcase you get with an Am series. They used to be good but they're now cheap flimsy crap. I'd rather have a decent quality gig bag

    I'm amazed how few people have only got 1 bass. 3 so far. I need to buy another one. Damn you BassChat
