EssentialTension Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Very nice. I've played Ashdown through Ampeg - it works. Quote
Cat Burrito Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I played a Jag bass through an Ashdown 4x12 cab yesterday (but via my 1978 Bassman head though) and it was one of the best tones I've ever had. I have an Ampeg cab at home and this was just the rehearsal studio set up. A lot of tone! I'm interested in those 4x10 Ampeg cabs. Out of curiosity, what's the instrument in the background? Quote

silverfoxnik Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Very cool looking gear! I've never played a Jaguar but they look great... Quote

Never understood the anti-guitar comments on this or any bass forum - My view is that I like guitar music so why be negative? I think we must have similar tastes Quote
munkonthehill Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 yeah its a wicked guitar, a bit OTT for me though as im not too good on the 6string hahahaa Quote
urbanx Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Phworrr!!!! Beautiful. Although you know I'm going to tell you that you got the wrong colour I know that'll sound as good as it looks too. Quote

guybrush threepwood Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Wow, Ashdown and Ampeg stuff really looks great together! I've got an Eden with an Ashdown cab, and it looks like a creation of Frankenstein! Quote

It did everything i wanted. the cab was amazing, playing with the head it was just awesome, im going to have to play about with the amp to really get the sound im after but i couldnt have been more than happy. Im just a bit disappointed it wasnt an ampeg amp sitting ontop of it. but I am very impressed with the overall sound. You lot gigging yet, i really want to see the 8x10 in action. Quote
munkonthehill Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 heres a wee pic of the rig in action (my sister in law took the pic hence its a bit dodgy) Quote
andy67 Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Hi Steve, Looks great! Don't underestimate the Ashdown head - you'll get what you want from it in time. I wouldn't worry about the ampeg head, the next thing you should begin looking at is a valve head. The ampeg is a hybrid valve not full valve head. But, I'm glad you like the cab they are great. cheers for now andy Quote
munkonthehill Posted July 17, 2010 Author Posted July 17, 2010 since my last update there has been some comings and goings.. ok ALOT of coming and goings, however here is a wee update on my current the ashdown head is gone and now an ampeg B5R sits ontop giving both awesome clean and OD channel of ampeg goodness stingray and rig Jaguar and rig aerodyne and rig I dont know if the pics are a bit OTT however I feel as though they should be seen by all Quote
Hutton Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Very nice collection of basses. The only investment you need now is a couple of stands - you know it makes sense! Quote

I cant really have them out on show until he is old enough to learn a will do him in if he touches them!! Quote

munkonthehill Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 [quote name='sk8' post='897581' date='Jul 17 2010, 08:36 PM']you took the ashtrays off[/quote] aye haha, its damn hard to play with them on, its ok when your noodling in the house, but when your moving about gigging and getting right into a song you tend to find your right hand wanders, thankfully at rehearsals before my first gig with it I kept hitting the ashtrays, so decided to take them off. I actually ment to stick them on for the pic, but I could find the screwdriver to stick them back on Quote
munkonthehill Posted August 7, 2010 Author Posted August 7, 2010 this one is for you Mike,,,,,,ashtrays back on matey Quote
munkonthehill Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 Ok so i thought I would add the new addition to the family. I recently purchased an ampeg portabass 250H and matching 2x10cab. love them to bits and heres the pics. Goes to show you can never have enough ampeg hahaha Quote
munkonthehill Posted December 22, 2010 Author Posted December 22, 2010 Ok chaps, just a small update. Due to the most hideous pearloid scratchplate on my bongo, I really wanted to get shot of it. However after a bit of searching and a bit of a wait,,,,I finally got my replacement scratchplate. In my eye this really makes the bass so much better. Quote
