    I have had a UK-made LB30 and LB212 cab for two weeks now. Absolutely love it and am astonished at how loud it can get. One word: TONE

    I picked one of these basses up from The Gallery a couple of weeks ago to use in the Jam/Weller band I joined a few months back. I have to say, I am [i]really[/i] impressed with it. It's very well put together, with excellent fit and finish. The weight is good (just a shade under 10lbs) with no neck dive, no dead spots. The neck is chunky but fast. It sounds great passive, but I had Alex put a P Retro in it anyway, and it is an absolute tone monster. Amazing what you can get for under £400 these days... Gareth

    Well, I used my LB30 head and LB212 cab at rehearsal for the first time; one word: Wow. With my P-Retro'd Squier Matt Freeman in active mode into the "High" input, I only had the volume at 9 o'clock and it sounded huge. Seriously happy with the amp and cab. I had been tempted to get two of the VS212, 8 ohm versions of esentially the same cab, but I'm not sure I'll need to move much more air than this. And all from a 30 watt amp. Incredible...

    Bought Luke's Bassbone (my third, will I ever learn?). Great communication and a pleasure to deal with.

    The Phil Jones [url="http://www.philjonespuresound.com/products/?id=125"]PB300[/url] would also do this job very well.

    These really are the biz. I regret selling mine as it gave the most righteous tone.

    Toby Chennell has a mate who makes custom stuff for his basses, maybe try him?

    Well, it sounds fantastic, that's the main thing!

    [quote name='cameltoe' post='1279812' date='Jun 23 2011, 04:53 PM']Mine says 100w! They were a limited run to go in hand with the Little Bastard head. Mine was purchased with one of the 100 UK handmade LB heads (I was not allowed to buy the head without the cab) so whether they only made these for the UK heads I'm not sure, but mine says 'handmade in uk' on the rear as did the head, and they certainly seem to have run out quickly. Yeah, it says 100w on the back of mine, but the drivers are 200w each as you can see by the LB112. No idea why, but Ashdown confirm they are 400w and it did say that for a time on their website, but the product is now in their 'Legacy' section with no info. I'm very happy with mine. I no longer have the head, but use it with a Bass Terror and it sounds great. Very punchy, warm and clear. Very light thanks to the neo-whatsit drivers, looks fantastic, and is the perfect height to put stuff on at a gig, like your amp head (or pint)![/quote] I just picked up a UK handmade LB30 head and LB212 cab today too, and my cab also says 100 watts at 4 ohms. I will be very happy if it is actually rated higher!

    [quote name='Oldman' post='1276469' date='Jun 20 2011, 10:23 PM']Hi what condition is the 8 b in? How long have you had it?[/quote] It's mint, just weeks old, I still have the box. Only selling as I want to go to old skool valves and 12" drivers.

    Hello all I have one of these straps for sale. It's the [b]medium length [/b]version, adjustable from 123 cm to 153 cm. It's really nice and in very good condition; good, strong and thick leather. The only thing I need to point out is I drilled a small extra hole, for a straplock, on the bridge end of the strap, and there are also two pen marks there for more (as yet undrilled). Harvest say: [i]This strap for heavy instruments out of buffalo leather comes with the classic length adjustment. Made with a nice vintage pull up finish and produced with decorative offwhite seams. The strap is made out of two layer of full grain leather, together these are about 3 to 3.6 mm thick. Full grain leather is very strong and durable. The strap's width is 8.5 cm. It is the perfect width for holding the bass comfortably over a longer period of time.[/i] 20 euros plus postage new, I'd like [b]£10 posted[/b]. Cheers Gareth

    That is my perfect P bass right there! Is the active circuit a retro-fit, as I'm sure the Hot Rods were passive only? Cheers Gareth

    What's the rippling in the chrome?

    Having tried an Ashdown LB30 in The Gallery on Wedenesday I don't think Dave could go wrong with one. Lovely creamy tone, not too big or heavy, and surprsingly loud. Knowing Dave has a nice variety of cabs I'm sure he'd get all he wants out of the LB.

    Perfect P bass for me right there.... Any interest in trading up for my Veillette 5 string, or any of my PJB gear?

    [quote name='Monz' post='1266928' date='Jun 13 2011, 08:37 AM']Bump for these cabs... I've just got the 24B and they work differently to every other cab I've played through (and thats quite a few). they don't sound like they are pushing bass on the stage but stand at the back of the venue and you can FEEL the bass, it's as though it's going through you. Awesome kit, I might be tempted myself but the 24 is probably enough [/quote] Thanks for the bump Monz. Yes, great cabs and your description is spot on. I am very happy with them, just fancy going back to playing a P through an all-valve head driving 12" speakers
  22. franzbassist
    Please, someone buy my Veillette so I can buy this!
  23. franzbassist
    Having tried out most of the EUBs out there, I'd go for a BSX Allegro over any other EUB.
  24. franzbassist
    Cheers Wayne, obviously your Google skills are superior to mine!
  25. franzbassist
    Can anyone provide me with the dimensions and weights of the Ashdown VS212, VS115 and LB212 cabs? Cheers Gareth
