Okay. Is there an amp you'd recommend at a similar price point?

Great thanks, helpful to know that about the amp. I'm planning on getting one of the K series cabs. Do you reckon they're better quality than the RS ones?

Cheers Killerfridge. I'm guessing the RH came out before the BQ- do you know what year that was?

Cheers - yeah the RH seems to be more highly regarded judging by the comments. Was the Spectracomp anything to do with the over compressed sound?

Thanks that's really useful!

Anybody know anything about these amps?

Thinking about getting one of these but unsure as to which one. They're both available for a pretty low price these days... it's so true you're getting a lot of amp for little money, as many have said. Is there any particular reason why one would be favoured over the other or is it just personal preference i.e. the sound with a certain cab? Be interested to hear from those that have tried both or own either. Cheers!

Does anyone else have experience of the RM-410?

Thinking of buying the new Ashdown RM-410 EVO rootmaster 600 Watt but can't find a lot of info on the net regarding what it actually sounds like. It seems like you're getting a lot for not much money- it's £347 at my local PMT, and if I trade in my old amp I get £100 knocked off that already low price! What's more, it only weighs 21 Kg and delivers 600W in quite a small enclosure. Is there anybody that has/tried one and is it all too good to be true??

I'm playing a P bass with a 15" cab- an Ampeg svt 15e and Little Giant (1000W) head and it sounds great. But I need a rig tha's going to give me the flexibility to have a more balanced sound, to complement the predominant lows I'm getting at the moment. When it comes to some solo parts the higher registers are just not there when I need them. If someone could suggest a decent 2x10 or 2x12 that would go well with my current set up I'd appreciate it. Also, because the Ampeg is an 8ohm cab I'm having to turn up the volume to almost maximum to cut through the other instruments during live gigs. As far as I understand, the max wattage of the head can be tapped only when going through 2 4 ohm cabs- right? If I get another 8 ohm cab then I'll have 500W into 4 ohms- yeah?

Thanx guys tried everything- speak on cable is new- tested it for continuity and is fine. Looks like I'll be sending head back to Thomann...shame cos bought it before cab and was really looking forward to checkin it out! Guess was faulty right from the start...

Anyone out there??
