[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='25870' date='Jul 2 2007, 09:13 AM']I hope the guitarrist at least pays to have it fixed or you have insurance.[/quote] No insurance and I can't really ask him for the money...he's broke and too good a friend... ah well.

Right...so are these celestion's a retrofit then?

Did the ABM cabs ever come loaded with celestion speakers? I've seen a couple of ABM cabs with them and I thought Ashdown used their own? Anyone? cheers, Ash

Don't quote me on this one but I heard somewhere that it was EADGBE...I'm probably wrong but hey. Despite knowing jack about them I've always found them oddly appealing ... want more shinfo - [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_VI"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_VI[/url] God bless wikipedia

Sweet bass! +1 for it being the best colour. Have fun dude!

not to mention he can't spell....

Cheers tredders! Nah no worries mate, don't put yourself out, I'm borrowing a friend's bass at the mo. Thanks dude - this is why I love this community

Very nice! Pics + review when it arrives?

Due to an errant microphone during a gig a couple of weeks ago (it would be the flailing guitarist that knocks it over wouldn't it ) , my bass is now getting rebuffed at Mansons, leaving me without a bass for the next 10 days! Argh! On the other hand there was some veeeeery nice bass candy in store... Damn guitarists eh? I needed to complain...

Personally I've never gotten on with Warwicks, so I'd plump for the fender, but that's strictly IMHO. Going and trying it is the only real way to see what fits you best...have some fun! The guys were amazing to me at the bass cellar (bought my rapture there) so they'll sort you out

Right, lol i guess I was slightly over ambitious then Cheers

Mr . Russ's Sei. That shezney is the beznay, as some might say.

What's a fair price for a second hand pedulla rapture over here? I had a go selling mine towards the end of last year but had no luck...and I'm now wondering if it was because I was over ambitious with the price. it's a 5er in the SB config, so what would be fair? Cheers, Ash

Damn! Unlucky dude. Throw it back at whoever you bought from and get a new one/refund... You gonna go for another ashdown or go with something else?

Yeah I know there won't be an issue brand wise, I was just wondering if anyone had run the same combo. Cheers Ash

More or less what the name says, anyone have opinions on this combo? More specifically, an evo ii ABM 500 and an SVT 8x6. Cheers, Ash

[quote name='presoulnation' post='17728' date='Jun 14 2007, 05:27 PM']I love the geetars. I'm big into the Steph Carpenter models and they play really really nice. Not so keen on the basses though.[/quote] Ah man I've always wanted to play one of those! What they like?

My bass teacher basically said that he'd taken me as far as he could with bass guitar, and being the jazz and soul fiend that he is he decided to start me on double bass (this was two years ago). Bless 'im lol I love the guy. Really talented bloke, if anyone lives in Oxfordshire and wants lessons I can give you his deets. I reckon you should go for lessons mate, it manages to be an entirely different beast to the bass guitar, yet somehow oddly manages to make you feel at home. You won't regret it. While I play bass guitar more than double bass, it's still shummat I definitely won't be giving up in the near future. My 2 cents

[quote name='NJW' post='16706' date='Jun 13 2007, 10:02 AM']back (slightly) on topic - as bill fitz said somewhere recently... Theres no replacement for displacement! This thread has given me GAS for the impracticality of an 8x10 again![/quote] Well if you want one you know who to come to

[quote name='Merton' post='16510' date='Jun 12 2007, 09:05 PM']Brilliant succint answer, this should be a sticky methinks![/quote] +1 . Cheers Alex!

Hi there, Pretty base question but hey... What's the difference between a tweeter and a horn in a cabinet? And how does this affect tone? Thanks for any help Ash

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='16067' date='Jun 12 2007, 09:53 AM']has ABM production (and the new stuff - can't remember what it's called) switched to China as well?[/quote] Hi, Yeah, the ABM series is now manufactured in china, though there are some new british made ABM's floating around, you just gotta look for them. The Klystron heads and Neo cabs are still made in the UK though. Hope that helps...

[quote name='NJW' post='15638' date='Jun 11 2007, 03:09 PM']exactly. I hope one day he tries to pile 20 of them, vertically, and the whole thing comes crashing down on top of his root notes.[/quote] meow...!
