it shakes the earth (575 watt RMS) and rattles balls ;-)

I played through the same rig at a friends bi-weekly jam session for a few months. I liked it, and probably would have ended up with it had I not had the SVT rig thrust upon me. Nice score!

it even matches the bass! nice rig

 

[spacebeer]

Thanx, yeah indeed the speakers maych the bass hahaha, pretty cool but total coicidence!
I love AMPEG amps, that's actually why I choose the Ashdown it gets pretty much into AMPEG territory.

Cool rig!!!

 

[VisualShock]

[spacebeer]

Nice, got one of them heads coming my way myself: ).

 

[bassmaestro]

nice rig man.

and that is one sexy bass too.
im after one of those.

 

[spacebeer]

Well get one! they're hellanice

 

[MoD_Scotty]

SEXY.

 

[spacebeer]

It sounds killer too, only problem is I can't really get a nice overdrive out of it with the valve drive. It's not bad but I like my tech 21 VT character pedal quite a bit better. I might try and replace the 12AX7 tube in the ashdown head see if that makes a difference.

 

[bwv1013]

if you like the pedal just use that. if it ain't broke...

Well it does that too but if you adjust the input volume you can get a pretty distorted sound from the ABM but it gets kinda mushy. The slightly overdriven "edge" sounds very good as well as the clean tone which is immense.

MAGs are very nice kit for the money but believe me those ABM cabs are something different.....

UPDATE I replaced the preamp tube with a brand new electro harmonix ECC83 and now the drive sounds killer, much more "gain" and clarity.
