I know Sound Control stock them so is there one of those by you ?

[quote name='papadesophie' post='112253' date='Jan 2 2008, 01:08 PM']According to Ashdown the After Eight will drive a 2X10 comfortably, but I'm still not clear as to whether this will actually generate any extra volume? I really don't get the whole amp wattage thing. Can anyone explain? If I plug the after eight into a 2X10, I understand that the amp will only produce 15 watts, but with a cab producing 200 watts, would it be louder than with the internal speaker. I know that this is a basic question, and on the face of it sounds stupid, but that's because I am stupid. In summary, would there be any point to getting a 2X10????[/quote] No that's not quite right, the cab wouldn't produce 200w, the cab is passive and can only put out as much power as is fed to it. The 200w is is maximum power handling.. i.e. a head producing more than this would likely damage it. In summary no there isn't much point getting a 210 for it.

Haha, the Crab Bass ! I think this is another example of a solution to a problem that never existed.

Mike has a point actually.. the OLPs are more Stingray like than most of the copies out there.

I saw this when it was last on - fantastic program and well worth tuning in for.

I wouldn't have thought they were both 4ohm cabs, i'd expect 8ohm for the ABM combo and the same for the MAG combo as they can both have extra cabs connected. That said - I think the old MAG cabs had a handling of 200w, thus a 500w load between 2 cabs would be ~250w for the MAG, this means at high volumes you definitely risk blowing the MAG. I use a MAG210 with an ABM300 head which at both 8 and 4 ohms (an extra cab) shouldn't be able to damage it.

Mondial Classic.

I should have one for review this month .

Seems like it's (Impedance Cab 1 + Impedance Cab 2) / 4 = Overall impedance.

5 I think.

I don't think the strings are likely to blame, i'd put money on raising the bridge saddle first. If that makes it too high then a truss rod adjustment may be needed.

The 2 scratchplates i've had from WD haven't actually fitted without modification. They were for a Stingray and a Mexi Jazz - hardly non-standard stuff we're talking about.

I found a Sovtek 12AX7 on eBay for £10 inc delivery, sound ok ?

Both sounds like a wonderful option to me.

I'm a computer engineer so it can't be too different, right ?! I wasn't aware that they glow, I thought that was limited to all tube amps so I will check it out tomorrow. Cheers chaps.

No - I find it a bit weird . They're just referred to by their model name.

Nicely done - looks lovely. That neck is gorgeous.. Looks like a pre 96 ?
