After several years of using Ashdown stuff, my main gig rig is now a Laney R500H and two R410 cabs, and I'm more than happy with it. Works very well for me and gets the sound I'm after, I find there's so much volume and headroom to spare even playing with a very loud drummer It's barely breaking a sweat live, immense ability to fill a venue with bass and the tone is more my cuppa tea than my previous rig too :-)
