BassAdder60

I always found even the PF800 lacking in power compared to other similar rated Class D heads The TE Elf for example is a very loud 200w head and low price The Ashdown RM series are also very loud amps in comparison Its a shame Yamaha havnt made some new class D ampegs as they are well overdue I feel

I had for a few days the V2 version and didn’t get on with it. Very dark sounding and the EQ made little difference Sent it back for refund

Ok no worries.. it’s was a nice to have if it was possible Martin

Ideally keep all my posts from both but instead of it saying”guest” BassAdder27 it points to my current account BassAdder60 please I can confirm I’m the same person and same email etc in both cases

I like the TC clip on tuner works very well

Living nearby to @lownote I too find our local Suffolk / Norfolk music scene some what limited !! We have a few decent pubs booking bands in the villages but times are tough and they seem to be cutting back. A point I notice alot is that the venues are rubbish at promoting live music so it’s a challenge making sure you post on social media about your next gig. We play at a local brewery and they have a great FB page but they don’t promote the live music they have booked and they ask why attendance is poor !!

Earlier this year I closed my BassAdder27 account ( don’t ask ) !! Ive rejoined as Bassadder60 Can my old posts be moved to my new Bassadder60 instead of showing Guest etc ?

Sold my TU-3 to him this week and it was an easy transaction with prompt payment and good communication Recommended buyer

Definitely recommend this small amp to folk looking for a lower wattage head It sounds better than many bigger amps I’ve tried over the years For just over £200 it’s a bargain

Added the Elf today as a backup amp It’s a amazing little amp, lovely tone and very loud for such a small amp I like it

Just ordered the Elf from PMT Will be a handy backup head I think

Thanks for the advice I think I will seek out a new Elf ( for warranty ) and order one soon

I was thinking along the same lines such as a new TE Elf purely as a back up. I know it would struggle but it would provide the Di too and give a bit more tone control I had the Sansamp bass driver but sent it back, preferring my CTM100 without it so for £250 I could buy a small amp !

What’s sufficient for a backup to live gigging and any amp failures ? 1: Passive Di box ready to put into PA 2: Small 200w amp and Di into PA Out bands PA is 1000w with subs so I think a passive Di box would get me through a gig perhaps ?

Yep very pleased with my ABM600 Great amps

So .. first gig tonight with the CTM100 rig Amazing sound / tone Ran the master vol on full and gain control for overall volume Deep and Shift engaged Plenty of volume to spare 100w valve amp with a huge sound Well done Ashdown

Yes I’m tempted to get a 610 cab !

Apparently the correct way is to max out the master volume and adjust the gain control for overall volume This was the advice from the guy who designed it 👍

Everything to 11 lol 😂 Accept the new dials go to 20 now !!

I find if you put all the tone shift buttons in Mellow, Deep, Shift, Bright it makes it louder ! At the moment I prefer Deep in Shift in, bright and mellow out I play with a pick so that EQ seems to balance about right Bass on 3 o clock , mids 12 o clock and treble on 9 o clock Might try all buttons in and all tone knobs at 12 o clock to see what that sounds like

How do you set your EQ and MV / Gain ?

Same EQ but using the various switches I find the EQ controls ok I prefer to run my master on full and gain control for overall volume

I can cope with the weight as it’s only about 6 kilos heavier than my ABM600 Not sure how folk get on with the CTM 300

Did you gig with it ? Did you lack any volume?
