[quote name='The Badderer' timestamp='1422635528' post='2675001'] for clarity i was just posting mine about 20 secs after merton posted this [/quote] Cool beans

It's a real shame Ashdown have to come on here defending themselves like this, especially from ignorant comments about frequency response. They are a British success in a worldwide market, I understand people may not "get" the product but it seems to have turned into an unnecessary flaming a la the Barefaced threads. Let's leave this one be shall we

[quote name='joeghee' timestamp='1422473816' post='2673190'] Does this count as a (tiny) one man band??? Hahaha... My 3 year old son really wanted to have a picture taken with the new cab [/quote] Haha awesome!

Yeah looking forward to hearing your thoughts after gigging it

Great bass and great tone examples! Love the RFB pickup and the sheer variety you can get from that alone. NIce one dude

Ashdown BTA200, 2x Barefaced Super Compact cabs and my Status Retroactive bass, with DR Sunbeams. Thankfully what I'm currently using

Glad you like I love mine still, just have to sell because too any amps in the house = unhappy girlfriend

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1422097629' post='2668623'] This is Rock n Roll. Because you can is the best reason yet invented. [/quote] sh*t, didn't think of that

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1422059894' post='2668413'] NOt at all: There are masses of examples out there of solutions without a problem. [/quote] For example, Eden's new amp heads. They have illuminated speaker output sockets. Why, I am still trying to fathom.

[quote name='BruceBass3901' timestamp='1422015439' post='2667743'] The EVO IV range is being announced at NAMM, as is the new Tone Man range which I think is going to be similar to the new-ish Rootmaster products but with possibly more features or a different EQ. [/quote] Where is info on this Tone Man range of which you speak? Seen all the other bits (in fact have preordered the RM800!) but not seen the Tone Man stuff. Colour me intrigued...

I think they will have some fairly soon. They certainly expect the Rootmaster 800 head to be ready mid Feb, and this uses the same power section

Gediminas bought an Ashdown head from me, he was an absolute gent to deal with, brilliant!

Good news

Glad you like after all the frustrations I'm still tempted by three 12 ohm versions. Once we can A/B against my Super Compact I may be in trouble with the missus ...

Yeah they've recently moved premises and half of the guys are now in America for NAMM so it may take a little longer than normal for a response

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1421356095' post='2660399'] Only 35.5" scale for the B string? Pointless. [/quote] Not really, it makes enough of a difference on my prototype multiscale bass.
