Machines

Just went for a bash on my ABM - the valve circuit has ceased to function ! The further up I turn the knob, the quieter the signal becomes (since it's a hybrid circuit). I did the best I could muster by taking it out, looking at it sternly and putting it back in, but alas it was the same. Does that just sound a like a replacement valve is needed ?

I'll see if I can get us one for review..

That's no Warwick ! That's a Warwick inspired copy, wouldn't part with £200 that's for sure.

FCN Music are the UK Distributor, so all dealers would go to them to get them in. For a list of dealers go here: [url="http://www.fcnmusic.co.uk/pdfs/GLDeals.pdf"]http://www.fcnmusic.co.uk/pdfs/GLDeals.pdf[/url]

I think they're not bad, might sound a bit similar (ones with with basswood bodies / EMG-HZ pickups) but won't sound bad at all.

Infinity for me, I love the SN 5in zebrawood.

Not a chance of the output being decent I reckon. You're quite right though, it does seem bizarre to have an extension output on a 15w amp.

I don't think that the Profet 3.2 will be able to drive that 610 properly - especially if its 900w RMS rated on the cab. The Profet could easily damage the cab if you were overloading it despite the higher handling of the cab. I personally would be looking at around a 300-500w head and for ease of portability - 2 separate cabs. Be it a 410 + 115 etc.. 1 x 8ohm cab = 8ohms. 2 x 8 ohm cab = 4ohms. 1 x 4ohm cab = 4 ohms, 2 x 4ohm cab = 2ohms. Make sense ? It took a little while for me to understand it.. As regards to what brand to go for - what music do you play and what bass do you have ?

Average price I reckon. You'd be much better off with the Deluxe Jazz V though.

That Eden is cheaper than I expected..looks good.

Great sound on all of them.. overall the BB does it for me. Now where did I put it...

I played one of these today - WOW ! Such a thumpy tone and a great feel, added to GAS list.

Must suck for neck dive.

The new regime begins in the new year. You guys get to wear the funky orange !

It was a very praising review ! Certainly worth entertaining..

When I had my EB180-12 I'd stack it on top of my vertical MAG210. I tried it with the cab vertical and horizontal and couldn't tell much difference. Now i've got the ABM300 I can't do that as it's as wide as the cab and would over spill by about 10cm each side.

All of the above really, I change position depending on the music. Though I don't use a plectrum at all...

Got mine yesterday - have read it all already :wacko:. Quite a good issue - i'll be giving it another few read throughs for sure.

Hopefully it'll be in WHSmith already - have sent the missus to get it .
