Merton Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I actually picked up the CTM100 just before Christmas but only collected the VS212 today (it's been nestled at my parents house whilst I was on honeymoon). Sounds ace! Will get better pics up over the weekend https://instagram.com/p/BBpn4MNKNxr/ Quote
gary mac Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 That looks so right, although a little precarious Quote
Merton Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 It's actually not precarious at all, the feet all fit perfectly on the cab and its solid as a rock, but I know what you mean Quote
Lw. Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Looking good! Going to record some noodles too? I've never been able to get on with Ashdown amps in the past but they were the cheaper ones & for some reason the tubey ones are making me look at them again... Quote
BruceBass3901 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Looks awesome Merton! I'm going to start gigging my CTM 300 and ABM NEO 210 setup next month, but sadly my CTM is flightcased so the cab will have to be sideways Quote
goonerjoe Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Awesome rig. I've just ordered a CTM100 myself and tomorrow i'm picking up an Ampeg 410 to plonk it on when it arrives... Tried out the CTM in PMT Bristol and it sounded superb when cranked... can't wait until it arrives. Enjoy NRG dude! Quote
Huge Hands Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Hi Martin, Nice to see your new rig! We'll have to have another "mini bash" soon and try out some more gear - hopefully with no horses running around on the M23 this time! Quote
discreet Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Amazing of course, but... overhang! My OCD nodules are pulsing as I look at it! My problem, not yours. Quote
Merton Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Cheers guys! Will try to record some noodles but don't hold your breath Stew - yes we'll get something sorted soon! Mark - Gareth said the same to me on Facebook. TBH it's not as bad as I was expecting and I think I can live with the little overhang. If it had been worse, I'd have had to resort to getting a second VS212 haha Quote

The logo orientation doesn't detract from the overall awesomeness. And those cabs really do sound good with that amp. I think Ashdown might have stopped making them tho, as the NEO range aren't on their website at the moment. Quote

lowhand_mike Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 straddling is always preferable to just laying on top of each other Quote
BluRay Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Yep, gotta love straddling too... [attachment=212488:ash1.jpg] Quote
Ghost_Bass Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Can't look at the picture... i just feel the urge to attack the head with a hacksaw... and also relocate the rubber feet... Oh look! It's time for my meds! Quote
AlpherMako4 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I completed my new (but second-hand) rig today. It blows my lightweight and class d rig out of the water. Pure AWESOMENESS Quote
