    Fender Bassman 500 Volume

    Dr. Bass 2x12

    Im sure Rob wont mind me saying but it cost £400 pound + postage. So far, seems well worth it, will give full report after the weekend when Ive got a few gigs done with it and charged it up fully though. I think they only got one of these 2 x 12s in but are planning on getting some more. Hes...

    Dr.Bass (Doctor Bass) Club...

    Mmmm. My fantastic new Dr Bass 2x12 with my trusted Ashdown EVOII 500. Thanks to Rob at Rim Custom in the UK! Not gigged yet but so far seems like an amazing cab (and for the relative bargain price!). Feels better built than probably any cab I've ever owned. Its a great size-small enough to be...

    Dr.Bass (Doctor Bass) Club...

    Hi. Any of you Dr Bass Club members ever used an Ashdown ABM EVO 500 into a DRB 212? I'm in the Uk and Rob over at Rim Custom Basses is getting some cabs shipped over of which I've pulled the trigger and reserved the 212. Can I be expecting all the power, superb tone and neo portability I'm...

    ashdown users: how high do you set the input knob?

    My ABM evo 500 input normally sits around 3. And having used a couple of these thats seems the norm for my bass. (Passive jazz...although through a boss ODB3 for extra crunch/rattle)> Loaned my amp to someone a couple weeks ago playing a epi thunderbird and had to back it off to about 9 o'clock...
