  1. www.relentlessrevolutions/stranglers Plenty of Stranglers bass tabs on the above site. I don’t know why No More Heroes isn’t on there but that’s usually on the other tabs site. Enjoy playing a great selection of bass lines.
  2. I use an Ashdown ABM600 through a Super Compact & it is a glorious sound. Admittedly it took a while to get the eq right but I think I’m there now. Obviously I’m not getting the full 600 watts but I certainly haven’t struggled to be heard in a five piece band. I moved from a Barefaced Two 10s onto the Super Compact to reduce the weight & as I found the 210 to be too thumpy with not enough growl. I’m well happy with the change over.
  3. Great, can I buy them please If you let me have your bank details, I’ll send the payment.
  4. Hi, are the Dimarzio split p pickups still available? cheers Andy
  5. Cheers Martin, I’ll have look for him.
  6. Barefaced 210s 2 x 10 switchable cab. A fantastic sounding cab in pretty good condition after about 100 gigs. Showing some scuff marks on the top from the amp (always played vertically, so technically one side) Also looks like it has the first signs of peeling on the back, the seams are slightly gappy in places. Comes with a Rock Solid cover. Only selling as I have bought a Super Compact which is a lot lighter. Collection from Harrogate only as no box. Could meet up within a reasonable distance.
  7. Ampeg Octocomp compressor pedal only used a handful of times, as new condition. Never been in a pedal board, so no Velcro. No mains adaptor. collect from Harrogate or can post for £5.00
  8. Hi, I would be interested. Where about’s are you? I’m in Harrogate. cheers Andy
  9. Are you having to turn gain and master to full in order to get a decent level of volume through your cabinet? The first time I owned an ABM 500, back in the day, I put it through a 1x15 cab that wasn't very efficient. This mean I couldn't get loud enough to play with a loud drummer and a loud guitarist without putting the needle way into the red (gain and master maxed). The reason was, that my cab just wasn't efficient enough (it was a TC Electronic 2x10). I ended up selling the ABM and buying a TC Electronic head. A few later I bought a Barefaced Compact 1x15 and recently I bought a secondhand ABM 500. I tried it with the Barefaced and because the cab is so efficient I no longer had the same problem. What cab are you putting your amp through? Hi, I think I’ve got the hang of it now. I’ve stopped using the compressor & have lowered the input volume & turned up the output volume. I’m using a Barefaced 210 which now sounds great. The VU meter isn’t moving much now, which is reassuring. I think I was going wrong because I was copying other peoples settings on this thread. They are great amps, definitely worth persevering with.
  10. Great service from Ashdown. I contacted them about getting replacement slider caps for my ABM600 & within a week Dave contacted me for my address& a few days later they arrived in the post, with no charge. cannot fault them.
  11. Looks even nicer in the flesh !
  12. https://themusicbank.co.uk/products/fender-precision-bass-1962-rare-with-original-case-pre-owned Called into my local music shop this afternoon to see this little beauty hanging on the wall, a 1962 sunburst precision. It’s my year of birth bass but a little expensive for my pocket
  13. I’ve got it set at virtually nothing but it still sounds squashy
  14. I’m also having issues with the eq on my ABM600 in that the VU meter is permanently in the red when I’m playing live. I’ve put an Ampeg compressor in front which has tamed the signal. My only problem is that I don’t like the compressed sound. is there anything else I can use to tame the signal other than using a compressor?
  15. Boss VE2 Vocal Harmonist pedal, only used a handful of times. Our PA covers most of what I need for backing vocals. Collection preferred but can post for an extra £10.00 some additional blurb: Description The Boss VE-2 Vocal Harmonist delivers sophisticated vocal processing in an easy-to-use pedal. Perfect for singers who play guitar, this portable pedal magically creates lush vocal harmonies that follow your singing, with pitch tracking your guitar chords, a preset key, or a blend of both.

  16. Rotosound Short Scale Round Wound 66 Strings 40 - 90 Bought in error & never opened can post for £5.00
  17. Just bought an Ashdown ABM600 off Andy Great service & communication, arranged a convenient meet up for collection. Lovely bloke, a pleasure to deal with, now to make some noise! Cheers Andy
  18. No problem, I’m in Harrogate so would you be able to meet part way? cheers Andy
  19. Hi, is this still available? cheers Andy
  20. Black Sterling by music Man SB14 Stingray bass made in Indonesia. Active electronics Smaller body & neck to give a Jazz style feel to the bass. A lovely bass to play but I just can’t get used to the active electronic’s & I gave come to the decision that I am a Precision man. The bass is in good condition & has recently been set up with new Rotosound Swing Bass 45 - 105 round wound strings. There is a small amount of buckle rash on the back, but it is minimal. Collection preferred from Harrogate but I could post at the buyers expense. I have an old battered case & a box I could send it in.
  21. Thanks Lozz & Dad,that’s what I thought but better to be sure. cheers Andy
  22. Thanks Lozz, that’s what I thought but better to be sure. cheers Andy
  23. This is probably a stupid question but here goes. On my Ashdown RM500 amp, does it matter which Speakon socket I use? I always use the top one but I find that when I am disconnecting the speaker, the back of the amp casing is a bit tight. The lower one would be easier but I don’t want to cause a problem. The speaker is a Barefaced 210 retro if that makes a difference.
