FinnDave Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I am using one, AMB 500 evo II and ABM 410. Plenty loud at half volume, used for a gig at a pub in our village a few weeks ago and the bass was loud and clear from one end of the village to the other! Having said that, I plan to sell the cab soon, as I have a barefaced on order, which weighs half of what the 410 does. Lifting it in and out of the car and onto stages, etc, is getting to be hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) I've used two ABM 410s stacked in a rock band and they are very good cabs indeed. Solid, well made, don't rattle, sound really good. These were the 600W RMS ones at 8 ohms each. I moved them on though, because as FinnDave says, hauling cabs that heavy gets old pretty quick! But yes, they can certainly deal with a shedload of power. Edited August 4, 2013 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I gigged an early set up. Was good. But too damn heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchbass Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Right in finding out they are heavy but I think i can handle it as I'm young and up to the challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud19870 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I used to own one and yes they are heavy but they do get a good sound. I did find for bigger venues the sound got muddied a little bit, but to avoid this just boost the mid a touch and it would be fine. Well built and will handle pretty much any amp out there.

[/quote] Depends which amp you're using. I was using a 1KW power amp so wasn't short of power, but yes, I imagine that unless you're in an ear-splitting rock band with a VERY loud drummer and guitarist, one cab would be more than sufficient in 99% of situations!

Patchbass Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I Would use an abm 500 and play in a 3 piece band with what I would say as an average hitting drummer and the guitarist stays clean a lot of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulpirie8 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) An ABM 410 will be more than loud enough to gig with. I've been using one for the past 5 years and I've never had the volume on any of my amps past halfway! It was pretty heavy compared to some other cabs I've seen but nothing too ridiculous. EDIT: just to add that I play with an extremely loud drummer as well! Paul Edited August 5, 2013 by paulpirie8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Just advertised my 410 in the for sale section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseline9 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I used to have a ABM 575w combo and I never had it above half way, look into the ashdown neo speakers too, a bit more pricey but they sound so much better! But as others have said quite heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
