Oh, and a two 2x10 cabs stacked vertically is a good call, but no idea on makes for you.

I'm sure a friendly mod will move it

My thoughts - wrong forum? Hehe. Pedantic git, I am.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='313606' date='Oct 24 2008, 10:22 AM']Hey! I thought you had left the room![/quote] I have... now. Honest.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='313579' date='Oct 24 2008, 09:47 AM']The weight would be the limiting factor here for me.[/quote] I'll be going from a 42kg combo so it'll see m non-existent in comparison!! Haha. Ah well, let's see if they ever release them and if they're any good first...

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='313571' date='Oct 24 2008, 09:40 AM']Anyone notice that according to Ashdown its only 66mm wide? Thats amazing. I think maybe they got Height and width mixed up. Good ol Ashdown. Seems heavier the LMII as well. Here we go ;-)[/quote] Yeah, they've definitely screwed up the dimensions. Also notice it won't be smaller than your LMII - it's a foot deep!

[quote name='Stan_da_man' post='313569' date='Oct 24 2008, 09:38 AM']Does anyone have an idea how much the LH500 gives into 8 ohms?[/quote] Somewhere between 250W and 300W at a guess

[quote name='Stan_da_man' post='313533' date='Oct 24 2008, 08:42 AM']I asked about sorting out the problems the Superfly had and if they would be fixed for this head, yet the guy completely ignored my question about reliability - uh oh.[/quote] Course he did - he doesn't want to look a prat if they all go up in smoke, yet at the same time he doesn't want to say "er, not really..." Hahaha - difficult question to answer, nice one! I have to say I'm sorely tempted to get an LG 350 as a back up to my combo, it's a bloody good price. Must... resist...

Jeff Ament - Pearl Jam Cass Lewis - primarily for Skunk Anansie but also for his Scars and TTD work. Robert DeLeo - STP

[quote name='Rich' post='312993' date='Oct 23 2008, 02:22 PM']They've probably got their 'fingers crossed' that they don't all go ffzzztttttt within 6 weeks too.[/quote] That's certainly one method of QC

Just had an email from Ashdown, they say "fingers crossed" they'll be in stores mid November.....

My ultimate amp head would be the Trace V-Type preamp mated to a 600W MOSFET power amp. Basically, I want a Trace V-Type 600H amp head please. About as rare as the 4x8 cab I have.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='312970' date='Oct 23 2008, 01:54 PM']And now you can get that same preamp topology in a dead cheap but amazing sounding Hartke! Alex[/quote] But they don't have a gain control! <gets coat, leaves the room>

Sweeeeet. I wanna do the course now!

[quote name='OldGit' post='312915' date='Oct 23 2008, 12:43 PM']Certainly is here [/quote] I love that!

We love the Ox. For my birthday earlier this month my lovely gf bought me that book with photos of his bass collection circa 1995/6ish (but not printed til after he died). Awesome

Gorgeous!

AC/DC - april at O2, London[/quote] Nice! My next one is Extreme at the London Astoria, then ManRaze at the Camden Barfly

Take your head to the Bass Gallery (or another shop) in London and try lots of cabs out I did this when buying my first rig many moons ago, but at Electromusic in Doncaster. Spent 3 hours there, played everything in the shop whether in my budget or not. Even took a bass playing friend to get a second opinion. Was great fun and you come away knowing you've made the right choice!
