[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1441377929' post='2858472'] Come on, give us a clue about the offending subject? Was it EMG's on Jazz basses? [/quote] "Ashdown is wooly"

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1441320182' post='2857998'] Where did this come from? Have I been asleep? Couldn't see anything on their website... [/quote] http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/one10.htm And to answer Chris' question I believe yes this is what was originally going to the the Retro One10.

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1441313073' post='2857909'] When I've got mine I'll do a back to back with a Wizzy 10 on a DB and post it here. If it arrives in time I'll bring it to the SE Bash. [/quote] Ooh now that would be good, seeing and hearing one at the Bash

TBH even the full price is pretty good - Ashdown's (rather excellent for the money) RM110 is £189 so £110 more for this isn't out of the ordinary I reckon. Quite tempted when I have some spare dollar next Nevertember

Looks like the first ten have been snapped up already!

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1441292375' post='2857652'] Yeah, cheers, good call. I doubt ill have it this time next year but for now its doing fine (not yet gigged it though). [/quote] Do let me know when you want to shift it on...... Just don't tell the missus

[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1441259440' post='2857266'] Go on then... Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern [/quote] Absolute cracker

Bass cab shoot out - I have a BF Super Compact and can bring the uber cheap and cheerful Ashdown RM110 too if required What' the aim of the shootout?

Just pulled the trigger on a 5 string fretless acoustic

Both those rigs ooze cool and class. Love them!

Definitely, we always pay our deps a minimum fee even if the rest of the band are each getting less than that themselves.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1440845648' post='2854269'] Doesn't sticking an array of open-back cone tweeters like that in front of another driver mean that you'll get colossal intermodulation distortion through the tweeters and on the reflected sound from the main driver? [/quote] Absolutely no idea! Hence why I would love to hear Bill's thoughts

[quote name='HengistPod' timestamp='1440773518' post='2853768'] ... which is grand, but I tend to only break one string at a time, requiring replacement at the end of a song. If I had a set of new strings and used, say, the A, to replace a broken one, then I have now got E, D and G left as spares. What am I gonna do - replace them all at the end of the gig? And if I only put on the "old" ones a week ago, what happens to them - throw them out? I have not the cash for such profligacy. So when I put a new set of string on, uness the old ones are totally shot they get saved in the packets the new ones came out of. Hence a whole bunch of spare single strings in the pocket of my gigging bag. (They also come in useful for holding bits of my car together on occasion.) [/quote] How often are you breaking strings? I haven't broken one in over ten years.

OMG look at the handles!!!! Ahem, sorry. Not a fan of the looks myself. More importantly interested to hear BFM's views on the Bass Array cab - it reminds me a bit of some of his designs

The power amp is less "saggy" and has more bite to it, if that makes sense? With that in mind it *feels* at least on a par. I can't see it running out of juice any sooner than the ABM at all, just be aware that you may need slightly more bass EQ'd in to compensate for the slight differences the power section brings

Fair play Thought a second invite was worth it because of the combo of cab and amp

bassix - good to hear, let us know how you get on! Dave - thanks! If you're around in a couple of weeks there's a couple of us getting together where there's going to be an RM800 getting fired up with a Retro Two10 so would be a useful little test for you One thing I haven't mentioned - because it doesn't bother me - is the fan is very... prominent shall we say? I've seen it mentioned on the VT500 thread as something which is a deal breaker for some but I've failed to mention it on my review because frankly I've had much worse fans than this one, but it is not the quietest ...

I would expect it to be around 400W into 8ohms but not sure if there's an actual measurement out there. I'm looking forward to Dood's thoughts and review on this little gem

PS definitely go for the 800

Yeah they're all the same but different power amps. They were originally brought in as the new MAG line/replacement but I wonder if the MAG moniker will be dropped in favour of the RM... Or they will keep the two lower powered units MAG Rootmasters. Who knows
