@AndyTravis it's bloody wonderful dude! Your playing is on the money for me and it sounds great. I really must learn to slap like you, as it were.

EDIT: @ the Mods - now the two topics have been merged this post can be deleted

Haha! I know, sacrilege... I'd love a tube-preamped, 800W class D head from Ashdown though. Would be all over that like a randy dog on someone's leg

Ooooh I like the look of that. I won't like the price of it I'm sure 😉

Very cool, I’d (shockingly?) never learnt this until recently so it’s great to hear it like this

Vastly inferior to this, IMVHO:

This is the correct and only approach. And at some point you will need a back up of the back up, etc.... it’s a slippery slope 😂

Nail -> head. You need options and variety, she must understand that with shoes/clothes/handbags/[insert other gender stereotype here]... The other advantage of having both is you could run a clean signal into the SC and an overdriven one into the One10s all at the same time. Or stick and Octaver through the SC. Etc etc. I’ve thought about this too much. And now I want to get an SC back into my rig as well 😂

I went the other way, from SC to two One10s. Both are bloody wonderful options and I think I’d still go so far as to at the SC is the best cab I’ve ever used but the One10s just fit my sonic needs better right now. In the cold light of day the SC is more brittle and harsh than the One10s but in a band situation that allows it to cut through the mix really well whilst also filling out the bottom end.

My pleasure @danbanbass - have to say it’s a killer looking rig and sounds bloody wonderful too! I know I will regret letting go of the amp but it was the right thing to do all round. Glad you are enjoying it already, it’s clearly gone to a fine home

I'll reiterate my comments on Facebook for here as well I own an ABM EVO from 1999 which I adore, but the EVO IV is something else. More voltage to the valve means more valve dirt, extra frequencies on the preamp means more control, and the power section upgrade is something to behold. Great amp.

Another I'd like to offer, with a little mic drop at the end. This guy is the epitome of "cool bassist" to me:

Haha, me too!

Only for pre-1999 products according to Mark Gooday, of course that's where their knowledge and family lineage is. I doubt they'd want to touch the current Peavey products.

The dude who bought it now has two for exactly that reason I think 😂

Nice one. I almost went for it myself to replace the Four10 😅 It’s gone to a better home 🙂

I wondered if you would spot that - bargain!

RM has drive and compression, Origin-Al is just the clean 5 band EQ without those features. Basically

I normally run my LB through a single Barefaced One10 at home, these settings work quite nicely, but plug into the “low” input to hit the preamp harder

Thanks to the real experts for pointing @DiMarco in the right direction; there’s a reason I didn’t get very far with electronics 20 years ago so I’ll keep my nose out of this sort of thing from now on

I wonder if the power supply has separate outputs to the pre and power amps because of voltage/current requirements of each. And it’s something that feeds the power amps that’s died? Certainly the noise suggests a capacitor I think

My current ACG family. A fourth has just been commissioned 😎 All these are 32” scale, but left to right we have: 2015 Finn 4, OPB pickup, passive volume and tone. P bass on steroids. Swamp ash body, maple neck and board. 2017 Skelf 5, two reverse OPB pickups, active P Retro, very versatile sweet sounding bass but can get the Spector growl nailed too. Limba body, Fractal Nero top, ash neck, rosewood board 2019 Finn 5, two FBs, active UniPre pickup, think modern super jazz. Swamp ash body, maple and bubinga neck and maple board

Sounds like one of the capacitors has given up the ghost possibly?
