ironderby Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Is this a good amp volume/power wise? after a few days of searching, its the best i can find for less than £400 (and i love ashdowns) but will it pull its weight in a band practice with 2 guitarists and drummer? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkThrust Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) The MAG stuff is as good as anything else on the market at that price point so if you like the Ashdown sound how about this. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=149948"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=149948[/url] A 2x10 is always going to struggle against 2 guitars and drums though, unless they play quietly.

BluRay Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I had one and it seemed more than enough for loud band practices (in small rehearsal rooms) - and really well built - but I felt it needed the extension cab for gigs. Maybe just cos it looked better stacked up Soundwise I reckon the 210 version is a better bet than 115. That 410 combo would be great if weight is not an issue. Might be worth looking for a 2nd hand abm tho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymariner Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'm selling mine less than 12 months old for £180 (the extension cab, a 115 for £70) Bought from brand new with all receipts form Electromusic @ Doncaster. Cracking amp although unfortunately I caught GAS. Still being treated. Kept up with my load 5 piece rock band (ACDC/ led zeppelin etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironderby Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Might look into that, im not getting money for a few weeks im afraid, but sounds like a cracking deal! so thumbs up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panamonte Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I've had this 2x10 combo for just over 18 months and am very happy with it. I found it loud enough with two guitars and drums for rehearsal, but I got a 2x10 extension cab to give me a bit more headroom at gigs (and it also helps to have the extra height) although usually I use a DI into the PA as well so it's just there as a monitor. Certainly worth looking around for one second hand - if you're lucky you might be able to get the combo AND a cab for less than £400.
