[quote name='dood' timestamp='1457360286' post='2997720'] I bet if you ask Dan & co they'd make you a custom one! [/quote] I may be wrong but I think the RC and wooden sleeved heads are essentially the same just with or without rack ears added. If you ask Ashdown, as Dood has suggested here, I'm sure they'll confirm one way or the other and can probably sort two sleeves for you easily

Done

[quote name='Mottlefeeder' timestamp='1457104487' post='2995411'] From memory, Bill Fitzmurice recommended aming for 40% metal maximum. David [/quote] So no Metallica, Anthrax or Slayer for Mr F

Wasn't the GK MB150 aluminium?

I never realised they did 1- and 2-12 cabs. Need pics!

Always wanted a white Scarab. Missed out on a red one a few years back, it'll be another ten years at least til I get another chance I bet!

Will book my Saturday ticket later tonight. I'll only be popping in for a couple of hours as I'll have my son with me and he wants to go drum shopping.... I've almost taught him well

I am by quite some distance the least cool member of my bands

Yup, I saw that too. And the request for beta testers for their guitar cabs

Very nice

The LB/CTM30 is a great amp - I had a CTM30 last year for a bit but sold it to go back to the CTM100 as I needed more grunt for gigs. I really dig the whole Ashdown valve range TBH

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' timestamp='1456488836' post='2989512'] My notes:[list=1] [*]Things like grammar, punctuation, capitalisation etc. Every single mistake, no matter how small, seems sloppy. [*]Make it clear up front whether it's a permanent replacement or temporary. You also witter on a bit much in the opening paragraph - "and as she should with a little one on the way." is totally unnecessary. [*]"zany singing drummer" - remove "zany" [*]"very childish 40 year old" - I know that this seems endearing, but for many people a 40 year old who behaves like a kid is a huge red flag [*]Rather than say "it's not going to be a major source of income", just say how many gigs you do, and clarify that you have no plans to increase or decrease that number. They'll be able to do the sums. [*]"would not be against doing originals" - try to express this in a way that sounds a bit more self-confident. [/list] S.P. [/quote] I was going to write a similar list but was beaten to it!

PS - extension cab, anything 8ohms will be fine

Nice review, but where are the pictures to prove it...

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1456414411' post='2988798'] Can't imagine Mr Gooday would part with one of those for 400 bills! [/quote] No but it would be fun trying

Get Ashdown to make you an ABM2000 - it's got two 1000W class D power amps in it

[quote name='Barabass' timestamp='1456406321' post='2988634'] An Eden WT-550 possibly? It can handle 2 Ohms. [/quote] Good call, great amp!

http://www.carvinaudio.com/products/b1000 HugeHands from these shores runs this amp with two Retro Two10s and it sounds delightful. I think Bass Gear have them or at least can get them and they are right around your budget Edit - HH also went from an Ashdown Little Giant 1000 to this if that has any bearing

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1456252452' post='2987136'] Heft is an unmeasurable parameter only present in Valve Amps. It is proportional to weight and the real subtlety of heft comes from the light of the valve heaters. [/quote]

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1456251597' post='2987124'] Hey... don't get me started... [/quote] Heft

It's a good word

Heft

What was his suggestion for reducing weight? Remove speaker, amp and wooden box?
