PAIR SOLD - Ashdown ABM Mini 15 and ABM Mini 48
oldslapper replied to Gadge's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
These are such a great combination of cabs and the 2 separately offer great flexibility IMHO. I'm not worried about the weight, having shifted 1x18 cabs through most of the late 70's and early 80's these are tiny.. and take up very little space. Due to personal circumstances I was unable to proceed with a sale straight away, so have some bits for sale now. However, if someone can offer the cash now for these before me, they will have bought some terrific cabs from a nice guy. I'll get over it, I've discovered that there are more important things in the world these past few days. John x -
I am selling my 5 string Status Groove bass. I sold this not so long ago, regretted it, and bought it back. However, there are some cabs I have wanted for ages and they've come up for sale here, so this is up for grabs as I don't seem to be able to sell my Genz cab. It is in excellent nick, plays great and has bags of volume and tone similar to MM. Lovely flat neck profile and so easy to play. It has volume, treble/bass pots and an active/passive switch. I have nearly always used it as passive as the tone "straight" is very warm, but "grunty". It slaps like a newborn's bum, and I will undoubtedly stalk whoever buys this and when I have money, beg to buy it back...so fair warning. As said in the description, I will deliver/meet around the counties above, but no further at the present. I will post, at cost, but I will have to source a box to ship it in. It will come with a warwick padded rockbag. Here's a link to the Status resources for some details. 47mm nut width.

an 8ohm out and a 16ohm out. how to add an xtra cab?
oldslapper replied to tom skool's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='Clarky72' post='758085' date='Feb 26 2010, 12:14 PM']This is always my bible for hooking up amps and cabs, it shows you the formula at the bottom of the page for mixed hook-ups. [url="http://www.tunemybass.com/bass_amps/how_to_hook_up_heads_and_cabinets.html"]Click[/url][/quote] Very helpful thread. I think I've got it! I've been offered a cab that switches from 4-16 ohm. I could use my amp rated at 500 watt @ 4ohm and get the full 500 watts when the cab is switched to 4 ohm. I could use another non "switchable" 8 ohm cab by itself and get 350 watts from the amp. Or...I could pair the 2 cabs together, switch one cab to 16 ohm and get slightly less than 500 watts @ 5.3333333 ohm impedance/resistance/........thingy. Nes pas???? Wonder what I'd get from the amp if used with the one cab switched to 16 ohms? 200 watts?? -

I'm not able to travel for a few days for personal reasons, but this looks ideal. Only thing is another matching pair of 4x8 and 1x5 mini's have come up, but they're a bit pricey for my budget at the mo', also beneathitall has the production over run 1x15 neo loaded larger cab at a brill price, but I can't get to it to pick it up.....so many cabs to choose from.

[quote name='JMT3781' post='768258' date='Mar 8 2010, 05:39 PM']i Had the slightly larger version of this cab, with porting across the bottom. Was a great sounding cab, one of the liveliest 15's i've ever used.. just a bit big. I sold it for 300 quid, so i hope that helps if your still wondering what yours is worth [/quote] Thanks for that JMT, really helpful.

[quote name='Christophano' post='767974' date='Mar 8 2010, 01:56 PM']No problemo.... I know how it is when you want something in its place. The only thing I have to offer is Hartke 4x10 cab that is on ebay at the mo. Cant see that you would be after something like that though! Cheers, Chris[/quote] Yeah, bit big still I'm afraid. Thanks. John

Hi Chris, I thought I'd go for a trade in the first place. Unfortunately I don't know what the cab is worth in £'s. I did see someone suggest putting a high-ish ballpark figure and ask for ONO, so might do that. I can't ask for offers as per forum rules (am happy with that). Also, need another cab to replace. I know.......... that doesn't help answer your question does it? Let me have a think and do some research on price. John

Genz Benz LS115B cab. Just got this cab in a trade. Tried it with Ashdown ABM EVOII 300 head, and LMII head and it's a great sound. Loads of lows and enough high end response for slapping to cut through. It's just a bigger unit than I'm used to, so looking for a smaller more compact cab. (Ideally mini 4x8/1x15, or compact 1x15/2x10). I'm open to offers of alternative cabs, and am not worried about weight, just size. Would need min 300 watt capacity cab @ 8 ohm, or 500 watt at 4 ohm (if that makes sense.) Price as guide now.£250 It's in immaculate condition, been very well looked after, and has the usual Genz Benz quality build. The positioning of the handles on top give very good balance when picked up. The specs are as follows:- 300 watt 8ohm 24.5" H 25" W 18" D 61lbs weight I am unable to deliver/meet more than 20 miles from North Dorset at present due to personal circumstances. However, may be more available in a week or two. You are welcome to come to try it out though towards the end of the week. Please feel free to PM with any questions.[color="#FF0000"][/color]

Welcome to the forum.

Due to 12 months of bad GAS, I've gone through Wenge/ovankol (Warwick), Graphite (Status neck on a custom Jazz), Maple (G&L Fender P). But always come back to Rosewood.

Here's a pic of the old beastie. just had a lovely set up. But didn't make my mind up on replacement strings yet, so will go back with new strings to be put on and any further adjustments. Solid top/back/sides. Slightly bowed back. Such a massive sound. It's old and "well used", but I love it. Also put EUB pics up (it's only a cheapie (£500)but authentic enough to get me the jazz gig).... John

GENZ BENZ REGISTRATION LINK FOR UK AMPS PURCHASED
oldslapper replied to amenra's topic in Amps and Cabs
Bought my GB from bassdirect. The warranty was for 3 years and it's transferable as it is for the equipment. It would appear that the retailer has responsibility for sorting any issues whilst the equipment is under warranty. Did you buy your gear secondhand or new? If new I would suggest you go to the original retailer. If secondhand find out when and where it was originally purchased. I have had communications with GB ref my combo. He was helpful to a point, particularly ref information about the amp. But I think unless you are based in US, they pretty much expect the retailers to "sort out" customers. I wanted to have some modifications carried out on my combo, GB said they didn't have any official/recommended "repair/tech" centres in the UK, so I didn't bother. John -
