    Got tickets for the Glasgow show but don't know whether I like them enough to go or whether just to sell the tickets on

    Going to be in Glasgow tonight and using this cab for an audition so could probably drop off afterwards depending on the time.

    If you go to the reviews section you'll see my review of the NX115 cab

    When I was 12 I picked up my first bass.It was a 4 string. It wasn't until I was 19 that I got my first 5 string. I played 5 and 6 string basses for the next 13 years and then about 5 years ago I went back to 4 strings. I don't miss the extra strings.I have a detuner to handle the lower stuff. I'm playing better than ever without the extra stings and I certainly don't feel that I "downgraded" In fact, all of those years of playing wide necks, especially the ironing board width of the Yamaha TRB6, anything with 4 strings feels like I'm holding a pencil.

    I absolutely hate cables. Coil them up neatly and the next week they're in a bigger knot than Knot McKnotley of Nottingham. Power cable, Speaker cable and wireless transmitter to bass.

Still buzzing, driving at miles per hour. Heightens the buzz.Can't be beat

    Not currently in a band and I don't practice at home so am I actually still a bassist? I do have an audtion on Tuesday but the guitarist is confident that because I played so long in a wedding/function band (17years) that I won't have to practice anything so he didn't give me any songs to learn.

    Despite the missing tweeter, the cab performs exactly as its supposed to. Its possibly the loudest 4x10" I've ever used with the possible exception of the Eden 410XLT but then again these cost about the same second hand as the Ashdown does new. This is a seriously loud cab for less than 450w 4x10" MAG money. Please someone buy this before I end up putting a Gallien NEO 212 II on the credit card.

    How about moving the bridge forward by 1/2" and hiding the old screw holes with a bridge cover? The earth wire should still be in contact with the bridge if its only by that amount
  10. Delberthot
    Thanks again Phil. I did contact Ashdown but they're not responded and really don't expect them to give that sort of data away. Probably get hundreds of emails from crackpots like me every day I've readvertised the cab for sale to see if someone takes it before I do this. Its such a great, loud cab that I don't want to risk making an ar$e of it.

    Can someone please take this away before I chop it into bits or something else silly like that?

    DiMarzio Ultra Jazz sold, Noiseless Jazz sold pending payment

    Next one up is a pair of EMG HZ35 soapbar pickups. These were originally fitted to my Ibanez Doug Wimbish but whenever I finally get round to it I'll be refitting the original EMG P4& J4 ones. These are ace and can be used passive as I have always done or you can use an active preamp with them. They have the usual marks from use. Looking for £65 delivered for the pair of them [IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Stuff%20050313/DSC02073Large_zps44ba8838.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Stuff%20050313/DSC02075Large_zpsb463aab7.jpg[/IMG] The set set are generic EMG 35HZ copies that I bought for a project that never happened. So new that they're still in the original packaging and completely unopened. Looking for £40 delivered for these [IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Stuff%20050313/DSC02072Large_zpsdc9d1c32.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Stuff%20050313/DSC02071Large_zps707e280a.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Stuff%20050313/DSC02070Large_zps862ce151.jpg[/IMG]

    As part of a big sell off of bits, I seem to have collected a lot of pickups I am unlikely to need. First up are the P & J pickups that came fitted to my FSR Precision. The P pickup is a standard Fender Alnico one. nigh on perfect condition. T[s]he J is one of the Fender Noiseless ones which I cannot find a mark on and is for bridge position[/s]. I'm looking for £40 posted for the P, [s]£45 posted for the J and £80 posted for the pair of them[/s] Next is a DiMarzio Will Power P as fitted to Billy Sheehan's basses. This is a monster of a Precision pickup. Hardly used but for some reason has scratches on the surface. Looking for £55 posted. [s]I also have a DiMarzio Ultra Jazz (DP148) pickup but I haven't got any pictures yet. This is in excellent condition with plenty of wire. Looking for £45 posted for this one.[/s]

    Another thing - if the 4x10" as it is now has 2 ports then should the 2x10 only have one?
  16. Delberthot
    I've just had a thought: If I were to recreate a cab of the exact same internal dimensions as the Ashdown ABM210 then I'd expect it to sound pretty close but as I will be bracing the cab should I take the area that the bracing will take up into consideration and make the cab slightly larger based on this? Bugger, I've just noticed that the ABM210 had a front shelf port - one of them did but there are another two versions that didn't
  17. Delberthot
    I enjoy the planning of things like this and don't expect to spend any more than about £40. I've already sourced enough ply to do me for £20 and I plan on using as much of the hardware off the cab as possible. I'm only going to need more wood glue, t-nuts to mount the speakers, a speakon socket, some dowel to brace it and speaker grill material. I'm not sure whether to tolex it or use some kind of textured paint
  18. Delberthot
    I've emailed Ashdown to see if they're willing to give up the speaker specs I'm giving serious thought to building a vertical 2x10" airhead cab to give me a combo with a view to maybe purchasing an amp that will do 2 ohms and building a second cab using the other two drivers just for the hell of it. Maybe even get one of those Peavey IPR power amps and a preamp
  19. Delberthot
    It would probably cost £100 to ship that to Vienna

    My pedalboard consists of a Korg tuner and my G30 at the moment. If I had a bigger boardI wouldn't want to hide it under anything as it has the lights on it that tell me when the battery is starting to lose power and saves me looking round all the time at the transmitter

    Saw them on Sunday at the Academy in Glasgow. Absolutely fantastic. I would've paid the ticket money just to hear them play Big Fat Mamma. Alan is looking a bit frail and Rick was a bit red and sweaty but what a performance. John still looks just as frantic on the drums as he always did. If you like the early Quo then you'll love it. I wish I was going to see them again
  22. Delberthot
    Thanks for that Phil I've removed one of the drivers to check it and its an Ashdown branded one which is rated 150w @ 8 ohms. I now have two options: build a 2x10" cab running at 4 ohms and sit it vertically on a cab stand at ear level build 2 2x10" cabs running at either 16 or 4 ohms each wired so that when connected together give me 8 ohms.They would be situated on the floor and stacked vertically Which gives me more questions which may be difficult to answer as I can't find any specs on the drivers: Should each 2x10" be half the size of the 4x10" or the same size as the 2x10" cab that Ashdown makes given that that cab must either have 4 or 16 ohm drivers fitted which may or may be different? Will I notice much difference in volume between running a single cab or both together? Will the ports be the same size and length as in the 4x10" ? Thanks in advance

    These were fantastic combos. I had one and sold it a couple of years ago for £360 but they're starting to get old now The speakers will probably be tired, plus they're heavy and unless its had the Trace mod you can't run a external speaker cab but they were loud anyway.
  24. Delberthot
    Steve Gadd, Buddy Rich, Vinnie Colaiuta and Steve Moore I find drummers the most amazing musicians to watch and listen to
  25. Delberthot
    I hadn't thought about that. Its Ashdown so I doubt its lined.
