  1. Not easy for find easy to find reliable specs on these as it's not longer on the Ashdown website. I did however discover that it was originally built by Ashdown for Adam Clayton.......... https://www.talkbass.com/threads/ashdown-drophead.713232/
  2. That's really frustrating @Bassman1974, assuming the price includes postage could I take those off your hands please? Thanks 👍
  3. I don't know how many of these are out there, I might get in touch with Ashdown, but I saw this described as a collector's item on TB the other day 🤔
  4. Thanks @petecarlton, it is. A couple of folks have asked if I'd sell the head only and it's a categorical no, I'm only selling the Drophead because I need the space being taken by the cab, if anything I'd happily sell just the cab and keep the head
  5. I have no idea Brian, I'll see if I can find out though 👍
  6. Bitsas at a grand a piece
  7. I think it's only crude because it's a reference to the character in the movie and the 11 being louder than 10 thing. You might be looking at this a little too hard
  8. Lovely bass 👍
  9. My old Sport Psych mentor always used to tell this story to athletes who wanted to be pro... There was an old man, who lived in a house. And alongside that house was a basketball court. The local kids would play there each day, and the noise distracted the old man from his reading. He had asked them to be quieter but they laughed at him and made even more noise. So one day, he took out a deckchair and a book, and sat courtside watching the game. "What are you doing old man?" said one of the guys "I'm watching you play" replied the old man "If you want to do that, you have to pay us old man" "OK, how much?" "Five dollars a day" "OK" said the old man, and handed the guy five dollars Every day the old man arrived at the same time and watched the games, having given the same guy five dollars to do so. Then one day, the old man sat down, but didn't give the guy five dollars "Where's our money old man" said the guy "I don"t have any more money" said the old man "Well if you don't have any more money, we aren't going to play for you" said they guy. And they all left, leaving the old man in peace It's amazing how many pro athletes will tell you that was exactly their experience, no doubt true for some musicians as well
  10. We're considering that very idea as present, venue actually suggested it for a series of gigs coming up, makes a lot of sense 👍
  11. I agree, saw a brass band a part of a multi-arts show a while back. WOW, WOW, WOW, I was blown away by the sheer power, the musicality, the professionalism, and at times the humour of the performance. It was in front of a large paying audience at a theatre, but I understand that the members of the band do it for love. I also regularly see bands in pubs on Friday/Saturday night who are poorly rehearsed, often standing staring at a music stand through the set - including singers - and often with poor sound quality (usually simply too loud), and know they're getting paid often a few hundred quid. Go figure? Nice sentiment Douglas 🙏
  12. You don’t need to really - or at least it would be a lot of work for little real gain given that to manage output you can balance the G/D and A/E poles with PUP height, and in doing so some of the tone imbalance would at the same time be resolved (and of course by swapping PUP arrangement you’d probably introduce different tone issues) 👍
  13. If I had a pound for every time..... I left a band after the first gig having been dressed down by the lead guitarist who was furious that I had not stuck to the recorded bass-line on Take It Easy by the Eagles. Life's too short
