Have to say, I’m very interested in a 1024. I had a 424 of which did not work for me at all but the 1024, seems to be a different beast and more of a fit, for me.
Good to see some manufacturing return to the UK, hopefully Ashdown will do the same and any other UK instrument/electronic/HiFi company will follow. Just think of Mission Cyrus 1 & 2 amps & Castle Speakers
The pups look offset and re the position of the tone on PG, my instincts tell me it may possible be a Sheehan BB clone attempt underneath the PG. The space between the tone and Jack May have been getting ready for a second volume.
