Merton

Somewhat embarrassingly I didn't even look back at this thread because we found someone; turned out he wasn't ideal so it's back to the drawing board so I'll try these guys. Thanks

TheGreek - something a little bit different 11. Mykesbass - Shuker 5 string fretless (old style P Bass), Carvin BX500 Head, Fender Rumble V3 112 cab. 12. Shockwave - Musicman Stingray 4, 3EQ, Could possibly bring my big pedalboard, but no amp to play through! 13. Lozz196 (?) 14. Merton - ACG Finn, Status Retroactive, possibly some Ashdown valve and Barefaced Gen 3 gear 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

PS I've never had any issue with any of the Ashdown's I've owned (on my 2nd ABM EVO II, had a CTM100 as well which was ace); also got an RM800 on order for which I have high hopes I think the reliability thing was way back when they first moved production of some parts to China but they are far far better now than they were. They have readily admitted to making mistakes and learning lessons with things like the MAG reliability, Superfly and Little Giant series. I'd have no problem trusting the new ABM EVO IV

The new ABM600 has a lifetime warranty I believe. Tonally it is supposed to be an ABM500 EVO III on steroids, and what I heard at the London Bass Show would back that up. Have to say their Foundation cabs sounded nice too.

Our main guitarist has fractured a finger and is out of action. We have three gigs, one every Saturday, in the period he's been told to keep his finger in plaster. Honestly it's ridiculous and OTT but there we go. Standard pop/rock covers fare, two gigs in Surrey and one in Borehamwood. We have tried EVERYONE we know to no avail. If you can think of anyone please please please pass me their details

Could all the trouble at Calais/Channel Tunnel/Ferries have anything to do with it?

Mikkel bought a Prunes and Custard pedal from me today, nice straightforward deal. Many thanks and enjoy!

Oh wow, always wanted one of these, alas cannot afford it justify it right now! Good luck with the sale

Methinks HJ was being silly

Damn that board is great

[quote name='72deluxe' timestamp='1435914117' post='2813504'] It sort of makes sense but I wonder how fast that 15" can move for reproducing high-end distortion. I wonder if he has changed his sound over the years because if you listen to early Mr Big compared to the recent Niacin album, there is much less fizz on his recent sound, typically. [/quote] That's a bit of overthinking there - there are several threads where people like Alex Barefaced and Bill BFM have discounted the "15s are slower" myth. The reasons Billy Sheehan gives are basically spot on:)

Just sold John an EHX Nano Bassballs in a faster time than Amazon could achieve I reckon. V quick comms and payment, superb!

I agree with Chis - GK MB200 or TC BH250 plus something like and Ashdown Mi10 cab

Sold Steve an sfx micro Thumpinator. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with and very patient with me

Cool a build thread too!

Nice one

ACG Uber Finn of some description for me. Absolutely adore my Finn Custom
