Thomann - How long to sort a problem?
franzbassist replied to silentbob's topic in General Discussion
[size=4]I'm in the process of returning two cabs and these, verbatim, are the options I was given in an email:[/size] [indent=1][size=4]1)Musikhaus Thomann organises a return with [b]DHL[/b] / your local post. You would simply be required to drop the parcel off at your local post office (with the returns label you will have been sent) and [b]15 EUR per parcel[/b] would be deducted from your credit note for this service.[/size][/indent] [indent=1][size=4]2)Musikhaus Thomann organises a [b]UPS collection[/b]. [b]30 EUR per parcel[/b] would be deducted from your credit note for this service.[/size][/indent] [size=4]3)You organise a [b]return yourself to Musikhaus Thomann[/b]. I can't really lug two cabs to the PO so have gone for option 2. I'd have no issue returning basses and amps via option 1, but lesson learned methinks as far as cabs go! [/size] -

How did I miss this thread? My 1970 P bass and the Veillette Archtop and can I put my BSX Allegro upright in here too?

Sold Dean some picks. A small deal, yes, but top notch communication and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

Depends what sort of rock sound you are after I guess. Markbass is know for clean, but they do make some heads that have tubes in them if you want (at least a bit of) grit.

[size=4]As a finger style player all my 30-odd playing years, after joining a Jam/Weller tribute band last year I tried out loads of different sizes, shapes and gauges. [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I finally settled on Rotosound [color=black]Celluloid Abalone heavy gauge rounded triangle[/color]s, which are the same as Bruce Foxton uses, although I also like the V Picks Tremolo.[/font][/size]

Ashdown Classic Neo Cabs - SOLD
franzbassist replied to franzbassist's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Hmm, as you say, very subjective to describe, but obviously very loud with 500 watts going through them! Hard for me to say how they sound compared to other Ashdown cabs as I've never owned any, but what I would say is they sound good individually, the tweeters give a nice sparkle, and they both work well as stand alone cabs too. The 1x15 isn't flabby at all, nice and tight, and the 2x10 has plenty of punch and throw. Does that help at all? -

Just bought these, they are brand new and unused (well, I tried them once just to check all was okay), but my decision to switch to Markbass means they will be going back for a refund. Ashdown blurb [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=255"]here[/url], although I should add that when I popped the cover off one and looked inside the driver said it was rated 200 watts, not the 125 watts the website says. If no one wants them I will return them to Thomann, but I figured I'd offer them here first as, frankly, shipping within the UK is much cheaper than shipping to Germany! If no interest by Monday I shall ship them back to Germany. Cheers all Gareth [b]EDIT: RETURNING THEM TO GERMANY FOR REFUND[/b]

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1337358617' post='1658844'] But you can change them for taller ones! [/quote] Thanks guys. It looked like I was going to have that problem, but in the end I went in a different direction!

I sold Liam my Ashdown JJ500. A pleasure to deal with and great communication all the way. A big thumbs up from me!

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1337343852' post='1658485'] I did a video review of this head and matching sig cab in iGuitar Magazine recently. Nice piece of kit fo'sure! [/quote] Your video helped me pull the trigger Dan!

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1327690727' post='1515546'] I really like these, Bassgear in Twyford has the head & matching cab. [/quote] Not any more they don't!

My decision to sell my LB30 means I can move on almost all of the valves I bought to try out in it. [size=4][b]12AY7 (45% gain)[/b] 2 x Electro Harmonix 12AY7 = £13.50 (not tested by me, but new)[/size] [size=4][b]EL84[/b] 4 x PHILIPS NOS from 1967 = £16.00[/size] (these have not been tested by me) All valves, except where noted, have been tested and work. Prices are [i]per valve[/i] and do not include postage. Cheers Gareth
