    Quite possibly @Al Krow - I will happily share my thoughts if that’s the case. I’ve said it a few times on this thread alread that the CTM100 is my favourite bass amp ever so the Handbox will have a lot to live up to
  2. Merton
    Cool, I'm there on the Saturday too with MiniMert, will make sure I say hello!
  3. Merton
    I agree, a CTM100 Stubby gets my order immediately
  4. Merton
    No

    Mark Gooday has said a lot about it on Facebook, the transformers were their biggest challenge but they’re confident they’ve got it right. Apparently it’s vaguely based on the CTM30/Little bastard but with a revised preamp IIRC

    I have already emailed my preorder to Ashdown 😳
  7. Merton
    Very cool! Definitely want to try this baby out
  8. Merton
    Love these!
  9. Merton
    Especially the bit about hugging I hope. 😂 (now edited my original post, boring)

    Sorry for the delay in replying, been manic! When I had the CTM100 I gigged it with either one or two Barefaced Super Compact cabs or an Ashdown VS212. All these cabs are quite efficient, but I never had a completely clean tone (nor was I aiming for one). Two Super Compacts was the best though in terms of volume and clarity and I would dearly love to have that rig again. One day maybe...

    Rig help

    Merton replied to Stealth's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Ashdown amp - there’s an ABM 500 EVO II on the classifieds here for a very good price Barefaced cab - probably a Two10 or if it can stretch to it a Four10. Boom. Plummy punch with some grit.

    I do believe these were designed by Paul Stevens (of Trace Elliot V8 and 2005 relaunch fame) though I may be wrong!

    Nice! The Elf is a cracking little toy isn’t it
  14. Merton
    I hope so, I’m talking to Adrian about a nice little 32” Elwood at the moment

    Never got into Revolt as much as Pure but this thread has reminded me to go listen to them again! I remember seeing them in Leeds when they reformed, Chris McCormack had a massive strop because the other guitarist basically gave up playing as he couldn’t hear himself. That was fun! Gonna go find their albums now...

    I’ll join the trip too please, many goodies I’d like to steal ahem try out
  17. Merton
    Happy to be corrected! I was completely ambiguously referring to the ABM series when I said about final assembly, I know your (bloody lovely) valve amps are all hand built in Essex still 👍🏻
  18. Merton
    After you please Gareth, if possible!

    That’s essentially it, yes. This combo has a single red led which has the same function as the red led on the traffic light system of the SMX series. When it starts flashing, back the gain down a notch or two. EQ changes will affect when this starts to clip
  20. Merton
    Me too. Black or chrome depending on the rest of the bass thank you!
  21. Merton
    Crikey if this had been the short scale version I’d have been in trouble! Serious bargain and Steve is a top chap
  22. Merton
    Mr Button did Series 6 to SMX / 12 band I believe, and Ashdown for the first 10 years or so I think
  23. Merton
    The narrower one is a 100W combo without additional speaker output. There’s also a 200W 12 band version of this size
  24. Merton
    Yep, Series 6 then the 7 band went to SM and 12 band to SMX. When Gibson took over the SM became SMC
  25. Merton
    Get the gain as high as you can, the hotter the signal in the preamp the better. Much like a Ashdown funnily enough given their heritage
