Are you sure you’re looking at the RM800 EVO II on the Ashdown site? Pics are identical as far as I can see…

Yeah that’s probably the best plan tbh. I was considering getting a tiny head as a backup again (had an Elf previously) as it would fit in the front pocket of the Glock gigbag but in the short term at least I don’t have any pressing need to spend more money. Except maybe on that Two10 at Bass Direct 🤪
Keep it simple, and keep it for now.
TBH I did get annoyed with it at first 😄
Dare I say it, but since the arrival of the Glock earlier this week (see my other thread) there’s a huge chance my RM800 may not survive much longer 😲
Mind you at yesterday’s gig the notched options were “not loud enough” to “deafeningly OTT” in a single click 😅 Had to tweak the gain level to tame it, oh the hardship 🤓
John’s just bought an Ashdown RM210T cab from me. Very easy to deal with, immensely patient with my inability to get a shipping box quickly. Absolute pleasure
Couldn’t agree more. Incredible thing. The flat tone is perfect; warm but clean crisp and clear. There’s no electronic noise, no fan noise, nothing. It just quietly sits there, delivering exactly what you want. Unassuming, confident quality.
This has just arrived from Bass Direct:
My god it’s lovely. Only had a brief play as need to get my son from school but the flat tone is just spot on. All the controls are solid, the amp operates supremely quietly and I can see the EQ has huge versatility. Cannot wait to get it out in the wild and really get to know it properly.
More for comedy value…. Played a little gig in Kings Lynn yesterday, we took our normal little back line and the stage… dwarfed it somewhat 😆
ETA - yes that’s a Barefaced One10 and Ashdown RM800, honest guv.

Prices include VAT and all the customs malarkey. And you have the possibility to add another cab of the ~450/500W isn’t enough
