IMO it looks god-awful with the red control panel. But anyway, it looks like what is essentially and ABM combo and a the MK head, so my guess is it's Chinese made

You could phone Ashdown and ask them?[/quote]

MB1. :)
"Hello yes is that Ashdown?"
"Yes".
"Are your AL MK 500 210 Combos Made in the Republic of China?"
"Why yes they are,........are you interested in one?"
"No Dont Want One!" (in a Matt Lucas Styley) :huh:

Better not phone me thinks! ;)

Nobody know 100%?

[i]'Hi there,

thanks for the e mail. The Mark King Combo is made here in Essex as are
our Klystron range, Superfly Cabs and of course the Mark King Head.

Hope this helps,

Regards, Martin.'[/i][/quote]

Good stuff, looks like we were all wrong ! I think they should advertise on all UK products as it obviously makes a difference to buyers.

Lol, yes, you know what I mean! I remember speaking to Mark Gooday at Music Live a couple of years back and he was saying that
if it was up to him everything would still be made in the UK but if that was the case they just wouldnt be able to compete on price
with the other rival brands in the low to mid ranges which is understandable, he also said Ashdown's high end stuff would always
be made in england, which is nice, more than can be said for Ampeg eh!
