    Agreed, i worry when i see stuff price at dangerously low prices in some places that it's because they're about to go under....
  2. Beedster
    Well I'd be f***ing careful then @Si600, because screwing your voice up in that situation is very easily done, and can result in a lot of problems not just limited to no longer being able to sing a couple of songs at a gig. And re.... They're also two Stranglers songs that require some vocal skill to avoind becoming shouty, it's almost like I saw this coming.....

    Frankly, it's a bit of a sobering warning about buying expensive gear online. Does anyone know whether a person in that situation be protected had they paid by PayPal or by credit card?

    Crikey, I return to this thread to find the forum has changed to pickguardchat.co.uk

    If you have a V4B in your studio you don’t need this unless you’re looking for a pretty subtle variation on the same thing albeit a bit louder. Like the V4B this stays clean a lot longer than the PF20/PF50, and while this is rated at 200w against the V4B’s 100, in real terms there’s not a lot in it 👍

    Don’t confuse this with the smaller Drophead 30, this is a big unit 👍

    I have both, the Ampeg does the Ampeg thing, this does the Ashdown thing, rounder, fuller, fatter, and louder. This would be a very big DI 👍

    Most of the punters are scared of it 😆
  9. Beedster
    Sorry this is a significantly larger and heavier unit than the Ampeg and is not being shipped
  10. Beedster
    Better a strong back than lightweight gear. Other opinions are available 👍
  11. Beedster
    It's too heavy Brian 👍
  12. Beedster
    There are probably easier ways

    ....oh, and first gig I did with them he forgets his mic case 🤔

    You generally know either way, and in my experience it's foolish you go against your gut instincts on these things, they always prove to be correct in the end. I remember an audition where the band were really tight and I was flattered to get the gig. However even driving away from the audition, before I knew it had been successful, I knew that more than 30-minutes in a room with the singer was not going to work for me, he was a winey low talent tool with delusions of grandeur and only an average voice, and he did that thing where he looks at you occasionally just to let you know you did something he didn't like. Anyway, I was so right 👍

    And the head nicely tucked away for its siesta, a trick it learned from Ampeg 👍

    Many thanks @Woodinblack 🙏🙏🙏🙏

    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/ Any way, some more pics with the rather lovely cab....
  18. Beedster
    That's really frustrating @Bassman1974, assuming the price includes postage could I take those off your hands please? Thanks 👍
  19. Beedster
    Minor but important details.....
  20. Beedster
    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
  21. Beedster
    I have no idea Brian, I'll see if I can find out though 👍
  22. Beedster
    Bitsas at a grand a piece
  23. Beedster
    Yep 👍
  24. Beedster
    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
