That’s disappointing and I bet Ashdown would of put that right I use wireless with my ABM600 and it’s excellent

It came from here via eBay

Main issue was finding hanging points etc etc The stand idea results in a solution for any venue 👍

Hi .. yes it was a direct swop and works well. It’s the second one I purchased ( first one had brass saddles but came without pre slotted saddles ) The zinc / chrome was spot on out of the pack even the intonation was pre set and spot on. Great upgrade that looks classy and works better than the stock

In the past we tied our band backdrop to the venue assuming tie points were available Ive now found a more practical solution using a photography screen stand It has two telescopic adjustable leg supports and a top pole ( backdrop is threaded on pole ) You can then raise up your backdrop easily to the desired height etc behind the drums. Modern and low cost solution as the stands / top bar cost £30 !

My Squier CV 70’s PBass is my favourite bass at the moment Ive modified it so only body / neck and tuners are original!

Welcome to the ABM club 👍

Ok I have the answer.. I already have the bass I like / need My modified CV70’s bass is a joy to play with the satisfaction I’ve upgraded it and made it even better. My Player Series bass which is equally a joy to play and sounds great is all I need. I think if I had a third bass I would struggle to know which one to gig !! Thanks for some great suggestions though !

After letting my Ray34 go I’m in the market for an additional bass I already have a PBass which I love the feel and sound. Have a Squier CV 70’s PBass too What should I go for ( rock mostly ) A third PBass or a Jazz perhaps ? Ideally £700 circa and stock

I agree Ashdown cabs are not in the same league as the ABM heads They do the job and seem robust to survive gigging. There has been so many variations of the Ashdown cabs it’s hard to know which is best They had the Klyston series ( heavy cabs ) the low cost Mag series, Mag series Deep Then the ABM series with rear ports and a few variations in handles etc ABM series today is front ported and is a decent working man’s cabinet who doesn’t mind the weight. The ABM Pro Neo cabs are smaller in width and sealed cabs and sound very nice but didn’t have the depth of sound compared to the front ported ABM Never tried the RM series but I’ve read they struggle at high power a bit

The ABM amps are difficult to improve on for a gigging musician They do the job very well

Rocked the ABM600 head this weekend running it with master volume at 12 o clock ( loudest I’ve had it ) playing another outside gig without PA support. For a change I used my Squier CV70’s PBass ( upgraded ) and it sounded really good. The two Ashdown ABM210H cabs doing a fine job

Used mine yesterday for a gig, superb During the break I unplugged both and put them back into amp and bass ready for second set. Very liberating being unattached to a cable

Ok folks Fender HiMass bridge fitted ( nice ) new mini Alpha pots fitted and new cap. New strings fitted and it’s sounding great with the Dimarzio pickup Pleased with it now and plays well too

Thanks 👍

Quick question about the Boss WL-20 wireless which I’ve recently purchased After use say 4hrs can you charge back up to full capacity or do you need to charge it from fully discharged ? I think the old Nicads had charging memory issues but I believe these are lithium batteries? Will it make any difference if I always charge it before a gig even if I haven’t used it for a week or two ??

No I don’t think so. I should of kept my RM800 as it may of been simpler matching the tone to my ABM600. Although with less EQ on the RM it was never quite the same The Legacy 800 is a great amp and has a distinct growl to its sound when pushed and it has basically a second channel ( drive ) which is foot switch operated and can be used as a minor volume lift or a drive tone ( very mild ) The ABM600 tube warmth and drive really makes it top dog I think and lots of EQ adjustments

Used at rehearsals ( loud ) and it sounds very good. Not far away from my ABM600 tone and is now the tone I need for my second amp Such a difference it makes using the contour switch and then boosting the low mids Unable to get that tone with only the Amp EQ rotary controls Good work GK Sounds amazing with a PBass

The stock PU in my player are very nice and does the job well I’ve put Dimarzio D122 in my Squier CV 70’s and they are very nice too, highly recommend them especially for rock

Used my new Boss WL-20 last night and I’m very impressed Strange thing I kept thinking / sensing I need to watch my lead under my feet only to see there was no lead !!! Years of playing with leads I guess ! Very liberating being able to move about more Sound was spot on

Were the electrics quiet on it ? Im modifying my CV70’s and it’s now a superb bass. As stock it was a buzz fest if you took your hands off the strings Better grounding and shielding and new PUPS has improved it no end.

My Player Series is whisper quiet and was from new. The CV was noisy with stock pickups and even more noticeable with the Dimarzio when fitted. Since the shielding job it’s now as quiet as my Player Series.
