  1. Ok I lied, my memory is failing me. When I sold it I advertised it as 35kg. Still heavy. Still bloody good though. Best amp I've ever had I think.
  2. My one was 37kg
  3. [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1483482094' post='3207633'] Great story.. Well done Merton ! 😊 [/quote] Only doing what Davie did for me 18 months ago
  4. 37kg Heavy But bloody awesome
  5. How wide is the cab? Would a 19" rack overhang it?
  6. I'm in a similar position, having to sell a custom ACG. I'd be inclined to say that an Aguilar cab is a lot easier to sell now and re-acquire in the future than a specific bass so don't be too down about it
  7. This one: http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0217ss-finn-4/ A nice and simple P bass beater
  8. Hehe - already discussed via PM Bumperoony.
  9. Wow that's insanely cheap!
  10. Aha. It's a handwritten backplate isn't it, it'll say 4 and then the omega symbol which means ohms.
  11. Probably 450W power handling? Impedance will not be that high
  12. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1483371952' post='3206609'] Just tried this and I`ve had so much gear I can`t remember it all. Maybe a lesson there in itself? [/quote] Haha, me too
  13. 4 basses (will be 5 later this year when the Skelf arrives, depending on what happens with my Finn) 2 amps 2 cabs There was a time, a couple of years ago, when I had 4 amps. Not sure why, but they were all fecking awesome
  14. New Years Day bump and price change - £1275 inclusive of U.K. Mainland shipping
  15. Bump for [url="http://www.theboatersproject.com/ACG.html"]photos[/url]
  16. [quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1482947450' post='3203704'] Re the speakers. I have a ABM Mini 2 x 10, British made that has 2 Celestion speakers in it and they are black After reading this thread, I`m really missing my ABM 500 Evo. Might have to look into getting one again. [/quote] I think earlier Ashdowns used celestion, then they switched to sica to custom make to their spec, though the Classic Line was Eminence. I love the ABM EVO 500 I have, it's ace. Quite like the idea of the ABM1000 that Kevin has too, bet that's a monster.
  17. Different drivers, made by Sica..... Blueline is a brand name Ashdown made up for the, erm, blue speakers!
  18. How many of us now have an RM and an ABM as our two heads? Admittedly my ABM is an oooold EVO500 model but still the same principle applies I count three, or is it four of us?
  19. [quote name='BluRay' timestamp='1482875669' post='3203313'] My ABM 410 (with blue speakers) is darker than my ABM NEO 210s (which have the Sica drivers) - so I'd guess it's mostly down to the cab. [/quote] Strictly speaking the Blueline speakers are Sica as well... just they are marketed as Blueline instead
  20. Cheers Peter
  21. Back up for sale April 2017 ACG Finn 5 Custom £1050 Linky to ACG site This is a very special bass for me and it's with a heavy heart that I have to put her up for sale. My first ACG custom, everything about the spec was carefully planned for months before pulling the trigger with Alan, who was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the build. First off, the reason for the sale is that I am a greedy pig and have a new Skelf SS 5 string on the way and needed to keep the wife happy with a one in one out rule. Additionally my car has just been booked in for quite possibly the most expensive service I'll ever have to face, everything seems to have come at once for it. So, with all that waffle out of the way, the spec: Finn 5 Custom 4 string body size (previously all 5/6 string Finns had a larger body though I believe Alan has now ditched that as this worked so well) 33" scale Swamp ash body, 2mm Wenge accent, Myrtle top 2x SB (single coil) pickups Volume, active pickup pan, passive tone with an active/passive push/pull - I wanted a pickup blend but a passive bass so this was the best way to go to avoid the phase issues you'd get without an active preamp helping out. This could of course be upgraded should anyone wish. Maple/wenge/maple/wenge/maple neck with wenge fingerboard. The neck profile is the usual asymmetrical neck but shallower than Alan's usual carve. If you have played any of Eude's ACG basses you know what sort of thing I mean. The headstock has a myrtle front cap and ash rear cap Hipshot hardware, 17mm string spacing at the bridge and a 45mm nut Schaller straplocks Neutrik locking jack socket Currently strung with Newtone Diamond Nickels 45-130 Very lightweight 8lb 7oz Tonewise think jazz, that's what I was after with this bass. She can do polite and sweet or rude and burpy. If I could slap she would be a brilliant slap machine too. The bottom B is brilliant, I really don't think it suffers at all from the lack of an inch or two on the scale (depending on your preferences!) Condition is almost perfect, there's a tiny mark on the tip of the headstock which I'll photograph ASAP along with some other photos which won't do it the justice Alan's website does. Will be sold with a Hiscox liteflite case UK mainland insured shipping is £25 and if you're further afield please let me know and we can work out a price. Grab a bloody brilliant ACG custom at a significant saving on a new one
  22. They're great amps, look forward to your thoughts after rehearsal
  23. Got an ACG Skelf SS due somepoint in 2017, other than that unless I stumble across a pot of gold there'll be no change (for once!) at Merton towers.
  24. I enjoyed that, now need to practice my bass faces as well as my playing
