  1. I reckon without all that wood it’ll ‘only’ weigh around 15-20kg, practically featherweight....for a valve head 🤣
  2. Yeah that’s what I have 2 Ashdowns and a UK Trace . Power houses
  3. I seem to be going the opposite way 🤔. I only have valve or old school mosfet AB amps now. Got rid of all my class D light weight amps . I just prefer the sound of them . Personal thing I suppose
  4. Just received a now discontinued Ashdown Spyder 550 and I can’t get over the build quality and sound of the thing. I regularly gig with an old trace head,( which I also love) the sound profile from the Ashdown seems more natural than the trace . Warmer or something?

    Merton

    Bought an Ashdown spyder from Merton and he really delivered a cracking amp , great to chat with and a pleasure to deal with . A gent and thoroughly sound bloke .
  6. Slightly off the point but I reckon there’s gear doing the rounds among basschatters 😂😂. I once sold a bass to a random guy that happened to be the previous owner of my current bass. 🤔
  7. I pulled the trigger on an Ashdown spyder 550w but only to ease the transition into abstinence 2020. Like a smoker on New Year’s Eve
  8. This kit allows you to convert the two10 into a two10s. I.e offering both 4 and 12 ohm impedance options. No soldering involved (just a lot of screwdrivering 😀) Item unused. Never needed to stack my cab with another , plus my amp goes to 2ohm. Price excludes shipping
  9. I got the cheapo one from Thomann , Harley Benton , spent another £30 on a set up , fret dress and now it plays and sounds fantastic. Big fat maple neck only around £130 in total . It’s a seriously good bass
  10. Well I just pulled the trigger on an Ashdown spyder 550....but that’s it !
  11. Well I have one guitarist mate and one drummer mate that have bad gas.
  12. I think us bassists suffer from gas the most. A lot of my guitar friends couldn’t care less what gear they have as long as it works 🤔
  13. Consumables don’t count right ? Leads strings , valves etc ?
  14. I went down that 5 string road, gassed about it for years. Eventually bought a cracking Human Base, then it was like “now what?” Much preferred my 4 string Basses. If you really want those low notes consider a drop tuner or pitch shifter.
  15. I’m gassing for a sweet hybrid amp currently up for grabs . Do I need it ? Of course not 🙄
  16. New Years resolution : no daft purchases for 2020? Is this possible ? I dunno how many white elephants I’ve bought over the years ...decent gear just sitting idle because of Gas only to be resold months later at a loss of course ☹️. It’s not like I Need the stuff...who’s with me ?
  17. Worst decision I ever made was to sell my little bastard. I just didn’t keep it long enough to figure it out 😩
  18. I was going to suggest a new set of power valves but yes you probably made the best decision to get it looked at professionally.
  19. Rarely used TC BH 250w amp. Sounds great and solidly put together. Just not getting used. Min load 4 ohm, has a tone print thingy that just has compression loaded. Cost doesn’t include shipping.
  20. I think there’s a design flaw with those
  21. Paddy, I’ve just seen this post. Sorry you’re having trouble with that amp. Did you get it sorted ?
