Does anyone know where I could get something like this: Looking for something like this to fit a standard 2u rack size bass head. I used to have an HA5500 with the sleeve round it but it fitted into it without rack ears. i would buy one of the Kustom ones but have no idea who would sell them and would like to be able to take the Kustom badge off it since I don;t have a Kustom amp

I'm still looking for amp ideas and thought I'd see if anyone had any first hand experience with one of these? [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/kustomgroove.html"]http://www.jhs.co.uk/kustomgroove.html[/url] They certainly look the part

I've used an amp stand for years Means I can have it pointed right at my lugs and am able to point it away from my other band members so that its not too loud in their direction - although that's not going to be so easy now that i have an 8x10"

Now that the details have been confirmed (i'd be surprised if they didn;t use the same components in the ABM range as well) I'm now trying to decide between 3 heads: The UK Made Ashdown Mag 600 The Chinese (?) made Little Giant 1000 The Hartke LH500 or should I save up a bit more and get: Orange Bass Terror Another Genz Shuttle 6.0 Gallien Krueger 700RB II

Received this first thing this morning [quote]Morning Derek, Thanks for the email and a happy new year to you. We did indeed do an exclusive Ltd run of Evo 1 MAG 600H's a few months ago for Soundslive. At the time we had no stock of the Chinese made Evo 2 and so wanted to produce something to fill the gap whilst people were waiting. The head comprises of the same components you would find in a MAG 600 Evo 1 head but these were built, tested and covered at our new manufacturing facility in Maldon Essex. Hope this helps and of course one of these heads should pair up with your new 8x10 very nicely. All the best and any other queries or questions just ask. Regards, Lee Alexander Ashdown/Hayden/Zemaitis/Lodestone UK Sales Manager[/quote]

I paid £67 for mine

I do have a habit of changing gear often but I don't even have the 8x10" yet. Just bought it the other day so it won't ship until tomorrow at the very earliest, possibly tuesday. Purpleturtle on Ebay were doing a crazy deal of a mag 810 for £329 delivered and I've always wanted one while I'm still young enough to be able to lift it. I do have my Trace Elliot V-type combo on Ebay just now though with the intension of selling it to buy a new head. If it doesn't sell then I'm probably going to make myself a sleeve and take the amp out of the combo cos it sounds amazing but it would mean having a redundant combo box to store somewhere so I'd rather sell it. I've been using it with a series 6 Trace Elliot 1518 cab and am in two minds whether or not to sell that as well or keep it for really small gigs although both cabs have the same footprint.

I'm selling my Trace v-type 1x15" combo. Plenty of power and 2 valve preamp for warmth or adding grit depending on what sound you like. As I've said before its my idea of what a valve amp should sound like without the exprense of having to buy valves for it.

I wouldn't use the compresor anyway so it sounds good so far - no idea if ashdown are back to work tomorrow or tuesday but I'll post the reply on here.

I had a maple fretless one last year that I cleaned up. Mine also had the microphonic pickup and sounded terrible. Ended up selling it to someone in the US who spent as much on postage as they did on the bass. There we go: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=48512&hl=grabber+fretless"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...rabber+fretless[/url]

Spotted this last night: [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-MAG-600-EVO-I-%28Limited-Run%29~ID~11199.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...29~ID~11199.asp[/url] I knew there were issues with the Chinese made ones in the past but does anyone know what's in them? Do they have ABM Evo I parts? Etc? Seems like a really good deal since it has the bare minimum of features which is something that I like. I think I'll email Ashdown and see what the score is.

its behind you

I've just called Dolphin Music - they're doing the SVT Pro-II for £800. Details are a bit sketchy but they're out of stock and would need to wait until monday until they can find out when and if they can get them and they said they'd honour the price after VAT goes up on 1st january. I've looking for a while for a second hand one but haven't seen any that tickle my fancy so far - I'd be happy with that or a VR as well. Unless someone has a stash of SVT IIs somewhere or similar then I'll be going with one of those if they're available.

Never seen one of these before - thankfully too far away for me to collect it. I don;t think my back would thank me [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rivera-TBR-5-Hammer-320-Stereo-Power-Amp-NEAR-MINT_W0QQitemZ270501833562QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL?hash=item3efb2a6b5a"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rivera-TBR-5-Hammer-...=item3efb2a6b5a[/url]
