    Lloyd's a top fella Steve. It was him I got my Terror/SP212 off. And he's on the home page of NorthWest bands (bassist for Phoenix). I'm not worthy. Good luck, I'm still thinking very strongly about your offer. Karl.

    Different one Sam, it's not number 142

    I had a Geddy and the big differences to other 70's type jazzes were the superb slim neck, Badass, and the very "growly" pups.

    [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1329611944' post='1544955'] Both cabs side by side on the floor and the amp on top in the middle? Just a thought..... [/quote] Thanks Walbassist but most places we play don't have enough room for one cab side by side

    First series, made in UK, rectangular handles. Both in excellent condition, with a little paint off couple of corners. Please read my feedback near the bottom ABM Mini48, 600 watts, 8 ohms, 4 x 8, 30kg, £150+£25 courier (ON HOLD) ABM Compact 115 300 watts, 8 ohms, 1 x 15, 20 kg, £150 +£20 courier. I bought the 115 as an ABM Mini, but the dimensions of the cab don't match that on the Ashdown website, so for reference the dimensions of the ABM 115 are as follows. Width 610, height 490, depth 350. Dimensions of the 48, Width 474, height 474, depth 335. Either will easily fit in the boot of a Vauxhall Tigra, leaving enough room for an Orange Bass Terror Head, sports bag with leads etc,Gamma pad and 2 bass stands!

    I don't give a monkey's wang what somebody thinks when I'm trying out a bass as I'm just mediocre. The most important thing for me is to slowly and accurately fret EVERY single note on the fretboard, form open E to highest D# (whaddya mean some basses have more than 4 strings and 20 frets ) This done both accoustically and amplified. If that's ok, next I'll check the electrics. If they are ok, I'll start to worry about tone and how it feels. Karl.

    Try Yamaha Attitude page on Facebook. Link should be below. Also search out the member known as Stockholm Syndrome. He is a member of a Warwick site and had an interest in the X. These basses are the most powerful known to mankind (well, me anyway ). Good luck. http://www.facebook.com/pages/BBGM/21535486327#!/groups/294500090592/

    [quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1329609204' post='1544931'] Sir, I see you are interested in my bass, you are clearly a man of style and taste. Perhaps I could interest you in this exclusive item..... [/quote] Don't let my mother see this
  9. karlfer
    £12k, can buy a job for life for that. Wouldn't use it on any bass. Frankly a Jedson was wasted on me

    Hang 'em all.

    Aha [quote name='mart' timestamp='1329486949' post='1543229'] It's nice that he can quote such positive feedback from the ebayer called "skyshook". [/quote]
  13. karlfer
    Skyshook is one of his feedbackers, I've seen that moniker somewhere lately

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1329596787' post='1544788'] PM'd back Barry. I'm afraid I don't think is the sort of cab you are after [/quote] Bump for a credit to Basschat's honesty.

    Bugger, saw "Bassassin" and got all excited

    OK, I absolutely adore the sound of this amp, but if you look at the photos in the 1st post, I cant live with the amp overhanging. Sad but true . My initial thought was sell the amp. That is still an option. I am also now thinking sell both cabs, please see seperate post. Cheers, Karl.
  17. karlfer
    I had one of the original ABM 300's and sold it a few years ago when I was skint. Best amp I've ever had in 35 years of on/off gigging. Rock solid, reliable, great tonal variation. I like old school (think JPJ, Zep 11), not surprisingly. They do that very well. Equally, my current ABM Klystron sounds superb when I come to do Billy Sheehan hammers, pulls, trips, harmonics, chords (just a pity it doesn't fit on my mini cabs .

    Brilliant, well done Rob. I'm one who is delighted to still be able to play the pub gigs at my age. What you have achieved is amazing and you're gonna have a blast. Jealous to death but gives truth to the "don't stop believing" Well done again. Karl.

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1329563201' post='1544236'] For a gigging bassist, I`d suggest a third option: Good quality bass, decent backup bass, good quality high wattage amp. [/quote] Hear hear, well said that man!

    We're not worthy, we're not worthy

    Sorry to hear it Clarky, I would guess as being one of the well liked characters on here, you are probably that in the real world. Add that to DB, EB skills and gigging experience, you won't be out of it for long. You will obviously be an asset to many bands. Everyone is giving advice and support, but for me, speak to contacts, do some dep work, keep an eye out for what is happening and choose what you want to do, when you want to do it. You'll be fine dood!!

    All PM's replied to, one still being thought about/researched. Just a couple of little points. These things were over £800 when they came out, and they are rated at 575 watts. Top quality hand built in Britain. Cheers, Karl.
  23. karlfer
    Tell him not to get a Klystron to go with it kinda bump.

    Ashdown Klystron Classic 500 head, with footswitch. Just got this from RandomBass. It looks almost brand new, it sounds fantastic and it overhangs my Ashdown mini cabs by about 2 inches on either side . I know that will swiftly drive me clinically insane. I am struggling to believe I was so stupid to forget my cabs are Ashdown mini cabs. OK, so £370 including courier. I am now going to weep in the corner. THIS WAS SOLD AND HAS FALLEN THROUGH BECAUSE ASHDOWN'S LINK BELOW SHOWS THE WRONG DIMENSIONS!!!! The actual dimensions are, Width 24 inches (610) Height 8.75 inches (210) Depth, 12 inches (300). I now know where I went wrong when I got it. [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=179"]http://www.ashdownmu...tail.asp?ID=179[/url] Hope you dont mind this Geoff, you were a star and I was stupid. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/167318-sold-ashdown-klystron-500-head-for-sale/"]http://basschat.co.u...-head-for-sale/[/url] Edited for my usual crap photo's please check my feedback. Please note, I may sell the cabs instead, see later post.

    Geoff has been brilliant. The head is in fantastic nick, bomb proof packaging, swift and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended, thanks Geoff.
