Ashdown Klystron Classic 1000w Head **SOLD**
Chopthebass replied to Chopthebass's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
[quote name='Machines' post='163079' date='Mar 25 2008, 12:27 PM']Pah.. time and place and all that. An ABM900 sold on eBay for £360 a few days ago, I hope you get a good price Chopthebass. If this goes for silly money I will cry into my keyboard...[/quote] That is a good price. These RRP for more, I guess coz they are british made, and current models. Anyway, someones bid at £399, so its sold. I'm happy with that. I may get more bids - you never know. -

[quote name='Exile252' post='162793' date='Mar 24 2008, 07:21 PM']I'm thinking about making a custom bass, Though I'm not sure what the fret spacing should be for a 36" 5 String neck. Does anyone here know what would generally be the best fret sizes all down the neck? Thanks guys.[/quote] If you PM me your email address, I'll send you an Excell programm that calculates the fret spacing for ANY scale length. Cheers Ian

[quote name='ped' post='162133' date='Mar 23 2008, 11:59 AM']Wotsit sound like?[/quote] I was surpried how powerful the eq is on this amp. People often say the Ashdown is 'woolly', but I certainly wouldn't say that about this head. I tried it thru two Aguilar DB112 cabs and it has excellent clarity with a very big underlying bass. The new on-board compressor is extremely usable, even on high settings. Another BC member who bought one off me is extremely pleased about how his P-Bass is 'felt'. I'm not a big fan of distortion on bass, but the valve grind can be set so it only works when played hard. Which I guess might be useful. I like the bass clean! -

Aaah. I see. Its a shame they pre-drilled the pickguard on my JB75-100US CIJ. Thanks for the info. Ian

[quote name='Scoop' post='160073' date='Mar 19 2008, 08:54 AM']Oh, by the way. THIS IS CONSIDERED TO BE SHOUTING. No need for it.[/quote] Chill out. I'm sure he just left his caps lock on!

On my recently purchased CIJ Jazz, there are thumb rest holes pre-drilled in the scratchplate just below the G string. Why the hell is it there? Surely its not a thumb rest in that position. Ive seen other Jazzes with it above the E. Where is the correct place for a 75? The same applies to a 62 Precision - where should the rest be? I'd like to see some pics, as I've bought a couple and I wanna put them on in the correct place! Cheers Ian

Dunno why it has to be 3U as its probably only one circuit board, and unlikely to have a huge transformer! Perhaps 3u gives the impression you are getting more for your buck?

[quote name='zapp' post='160403' date='Mar 19 2008, 06:34 PM']I'd be interested in that as well Ian. I've decided that I'm going to go the Pod xt pro plus Power amp route becuse I 'think' it will be a flexible rig. Of course it could just be GAS.............Damn!!!![/quote] I though the same as you Dave when I decided to give it a go, but in a live situation I only found a few modelled sounds that I liked. I can see the benefits in a recording studio though. Perhaps I'll wait till you buy one, then I can try it Maybe if the poweramp I was using was a better match I could have boosted the thinner sounds.

I'm well & truly p*ssed off with ebay buyers! Twice I had buyers pull out for stupid reasons. So it's here again for sale and it must go as its taking up space in my hall and I can't take any more grief from the missus! I bought a load of these in October brand new, but were incorrectly priced online. They didn't twig in time, and my order went through! Their loss - my gain. So this is up for sale at less than half Thomann price. It hasn't been used, and its boxed and unmarked. So, the first reasonable offer will be accepted.Thanks, Ian Now £399 on dreaded ebay.

I had an earlier bass pod pro (rack mountable) and I could never get it to perform live. Maybe it was a mis-match with the power amp I was using, but it never seemed that loud. I probably gave up too easily! Maybe I'll give it another go if someone can recommend a power amp that definitely works with it.

That tin bass is quality! I'd be amazed if someone bought it. I remember Tony Levin used to use a specially made 3-string Stingray, till he lost it in a house fire!
-
Seeing how the sleeve is made for my Titan V12, I'd have a go at making one. The Titan is a rack head just pushed into a sleeve, and a back screwed on. Its going to be seriously heavy whatever you do.

[quote name='The Funk' post='159907' date='Mar 18 2008, 08:48 PM']That's a cute (and presumably pretty potent) rig. I just... I'd like to be able to pump 435 valve watts into one of Acme 2x10s. I think that would sound monstrous.[/quote] Cute - I like that! 1400w of cuteness! Acme cabs are supposed to be loud. Sound interesting. If they did a 3x10, you could presumably have each driver wired to its own speakon socket, then away you go. I think thats the way I'd do it. Its an unusal head, but has the potential to be a real trouser flapper!
-
The only thing I can think of is to have one cab with three driver in, with a seperate connection to each. Are you wanting to put all that power into one driver? Why can't you have three small cabs? Here's my small rig. And I do mean small!

I have the Titan V12 which is like two identical 750 preamps (two channels) and a bigger power amp section. 1400w into 2-ohms. Its the best sounding amp I've ever owned. And I agree, the overdrive facility is just brill. You can set it just right, where it only clips when played hard. Great EQ. You must get a Mesa!

[quote name='overwater#1' post='158548' date='Mar 16 2008, 07:48 PM']Is the pic of the hardcase your'e selling with the bass, or selling it separately? It might fit my Overwater 6, and im looking for a flightcase. Theres another im looking at also, but I would need to retrim the foam to fit, but if this one might fit my 6er, then I might be interested in this flightcase.[/quote] You would have had to cut the headstock of ya OW to fit that case! Didn't your six come with a case? Should do for the price!

I think I'm right in saying that the GK head has a seperate amp for the tweeter, and the crossover of frequebcies is sorted out in the head. So, the crossover in your new cab won't be needed. You'd need to get a 4-way lead made up, in order to link the GK's 50w amp section direct to the horn, and not go thru the crossover in the cab.
