ianrunci Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 It might not be all that classy but I am very impressed with what Ive bought so far. I have paid all in all £270 for the following A Hartke HA 4000R head £100 An Ashdown Mag300R head £90 a 6 unit rack case which is virtually brand new (included with the ashdown) a Hartke 2x10XL (£40) And Ashdown Mag 1x15 deep bass cab (£40) Both cabs and the Hartke look brand new and the mag 300 is in excellent condition too I tried out the ashdown and it sounds great, it makes the warwick sing, shame Ive sold it now When I tried the Hartke it nearly blew my walls out, a bit loud for my living room i think But I'm very pleased with it all. I wanted two amps so I would have a back up on gigs. I still have the trace elliott combo but its relegated to the bedroom now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Youll be pleased to know the Mag300 and rackcase once belonged to me! I actually found the head to be very useable! Contrary to popular belief. I believe its the Mag cabs that let the side down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really tell the difference between one bass amp and another. if bass comes out the speakers Im happy Iv'e never been one of those people who search for the perfect sound cos once its in the mix and through the rig you can't really tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 You got a Hartke 210XL for 40 quid? Bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargain![/quote] Yeah the only dissapointing part was that when I got there he had just sold his Eden 210 for £150 which was what I originally went to get. Still the other two cabs for 80 quid were still a good buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
