What would your signature instrument be?
Merton replied to AngelDeVille's topic in General Discussion
Either my ACG Finn 4 or my Zoot Funkmeister. Can I have two? -
Love @Ashdown Engineering - had a wonderful chat with Dave Green today about my CTM100 which he said looked like it had been stored in a swimming pool by its previous owner 🤣 Top notch amps and chaps.

LaBella are my favourite flat wounds. Starting to really dig their rounds as well atm
-
This is a killer combination. Love it. Ashdown Little Bastard Two Barefaced One10s ACG Finn 5 Obligatory arty shot
-
I got the same thing from Boxpark Wembley, bastards! Got mine waived too thankfully
-
If you’re at a point where you can pick and choose which gigs you play then you’re in a happy place. I tend to do the same these days - some just aren’t worth the hassle
-
These do look like well thought out little heads. When will you get a chance to gig it, because we’ll need a full review!
-
Gutted I missed this again. Hopefully next year
-
There’s always room for one more bass. Always.

Ashdown RM500 and Barefaced Super Compact or Two10

And today is his birthday I believe! MHR John

🤣 Yes. But I won’t. Hopefully.

To be fair I’ve had a tendency to accumulate gear before when I couldn’t really afford to. Now I have a little bit of a cushion so I’ve gone a bit crazy but apart from wanting a Four10 cab I’m now 100% sorted for amplification. I don’t gig enough to justify it but I like to hoard
-
Third 😳
-
🤣 I’ve already said exactly that to @eude I do now have a ridiculous collection of 5 (yes) Ashdown heads but they can’t go anywhere. Don’t let me sell any!
-
It’s been fairly extensively toured and it’s a bit grubby in general so I think it’s just a case of the valve finally having enough. Or a dodgy valve of course... Either way it’s off to Ashdown for some tlc so it’ll have new valves, would be interesting if anyone has changed the standard JJs for anything else!
-
Hello! Any owners of the glorious Ashdown CTM100 ever changed the output valves? I picked one up for a ridiculous price on eBay but one the power valves has gone and the other is running quite “hot” according to the built-in bias meter. I’ll probably send it to Ashdown for a complete health check but might do so with my choice of output valve... looking at the Genalex Golden Lion reissue probably. Any thoughts?

Gorgeous- I’m very jealous!
-
Ignore me, found it. Can’t go
-
Ah cheers fella! I’ve actually just managed to sort this now though so all good. Sidetrack - when and where is the SE Bash? I’ve missed the thread!!
-
One of the best looking basses I’ve ever seen. Apart from mine obvs 🤓
-
I won this 😁 Just trying to sort logistics for collection... see
-
There’s definitely a clue in his name, isn’t there 🤣
-
I just snagged an amp on eBay (whoops) which is collection only from Camden. It’s now getting a bit complicated finding a convenient time for me to collect which works for both of us so I was wondering if anyone is around that area, but also travels south of the river, who would be able to collect on my behalf? Or vice Verda, someone this side of the river who goes near Camden... Bit out there as an idea but thought I’d ask EDIT: just a thought, if someone was able to collect from the seller during the week I can collect next Sunday (13th). It’s just that the seller isn’t around then hence the complication 😳

Barefaced Super Compact (Vintage Cloth)
Merton replied to pbasspecial's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Hello! I bought it direct from BF early 2014 IIRC It was never pushed hard when I had it and always kept in its cover, I’m a bit of an anal idiot about keeping everything pristine!
