    Roqsolid for mine and it’s great but they take around 4/5weeks to come

    I’m still funding one of mine .. seems never ending and student loans don’t make it any easier !

    Funny thing I find with my ABM600 is input VU dial anxiety!! When I think I have it set right or just going into the red on loudest note the band plays and I look back and it’s hard over at times on lowest of notes ! Ashdown states it won’t hurt the amp but I wish it just had an input LED and the VU only on the output as per the CTM100 or the mk V They could use the input dial as a tuner instead 👍

    Notched is the future 😂😉

    I like them

    Definitely more speakers / Cab instead of your current cabs I use a 100w valve amp into two ABM210H cabs and it’s a very full and loud result As mentioned the ABM Pro Neo cabs are nice too and light ( sealed cabs ) I’ve used both but I lean towards the heavier gear CTM100 and ported ABM cabs which work for me against 4x12 Marshall cabs !!! and heavy hitting drummers

    I’ve used my ABM600 at an outside gig ( loudest I’ve ever run it and still only 12 o clock on the output ) Most venues mine is running around 9 o clock too through two ABM210H cabs

    PBass with a pick and rock Definitely pull back the mids as suggested by Lozz etc ( he knows ) People will tell you that you need mids to be heard and they are right but often they are finger players and not even a PBass The PBass with a pick is mid overload !! Pull them down and you will hear that rock tone for sure. Not too much as you still need to cut through the band but enough to deepen and warm up the sound 👍

    Yep that’s where I run mine and it sounds great

    How does the EVO V compare ?
  11. BassAdder60
    How’s the EVO V working out ?

    I’m still loving the Tortex Triangles Blue 1mm Interestingly I found a pick and PBass a better match for my all tube amp Fingerstyle just didn’t cut it !

    The LBT can be overcome by using the compressor less or more as this boosts the output level too as you increase it I tried the Terror MK2 and found it too dark sounding

    The bass control if I recall is 100hz and I found I couldn’t get a warm deep tone ( more like Ashdown / Trace ) and this made the mids appear more prominent. Very good modern amp and very loud

    I had the GK Legacy 800 and found it a very mid focused amp. I had to dial back the mids a lot and took a lot of button pressing and tweaking to get “ my sound” Great amps but not vintage enough sounding for me , not warm sounding
  16. BassAdder60
    Tortex Blue Triangles are now my preferred pick. Great tone through my CTM100 using my PBass
  17. BassAdder60
    Look great 👍
  18. BassAdder60
    Good choice
  19. BassAdder60
    I’ve used the LBT with a single Ashdown 115 cab and it was great, very loud. I’ve read that the 12” Orange cabs were a bit boxy sounding I think a good 115 or 210 cab would help and move on the OBC cab
  20. BassAdder60
    Ashdown ABM210H cab would be my choice such as the ones I use Then if you do need to gig you are ready to go ( nearly ) The ABM210H isn’t very tall so would go under a desk
  21. BassAdder60
    I’m impressed by the volume I get with my CTM100 and ABM210H cabs 100w tube amp in a loud rock band without PA support and it does well
  22. BassAdder60
    As a pick player I use Shape Out ( on ) which we all know pulls the mids and boosts the bass. Great for a pick and PBass .. but I cut the bass back slightly so not too boomy and cut 340hz as it’s a honky frequency but keep the main mids around 12 o clock. Add a touch of 1.3khz for sizzle and I’m good to go 👍

    The compressor is the weakness of the amp I feel, it drops volume too much but apart from that it works. I never use it. The ABM head has some interesting design features such as input levels influenced by the EQ and the drive settings. I often have “ Red Needle” anxiety when digging in and playing loud !! I think Ashdown could remove the compressor and the Sub control and instead put an onboard tuner or two stage drive control ( footswitchable ) that would be a great amp even better
  24. BassAdder60
    I too play a PBass and the treble control is subtle depending on cabs and strings etc ( I play with a pick ) I tend to use / boost the 1.3 KHz slider as my true treble boost The rotary treble is 7 KHz so without a tweeter I doubt you would hear a change or perhaps the hiss !
  25. BassAdder60
    Most stores have limited stock today so it’s difficult to try / find a particular bass or amp in stock locally I always order on line and try and return if I don’t like or it’s faulty or marked etc Sadly this results in so many goods arriving that are no longer new as such and often marked in some way
