Kevin Dean Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I as wondering if there are any demo videos of these cabs , The only one I can find is with Pascal Mulot using what looks like a Zon bass as for me I would like to hear a more standard type bass . Cheers . Quote
BluRay Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I havent seen any other product videos - but I'm really liking the sound from my NEO cabs. Brief description via the link in my sig Quote
Kevin Dean Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks for that . I'm also interested in the Mini Abm cabs on here just trying to decide . Quote

[/quote] No (TBH I had to check there was one ) In my other abm cabs I always had the tweeter switched off - but I prefer the sound of the neo cabs overall, so not sure it matters (to me anyway) that you can't switch it off.

Kevin Dean Posted July 18, 2014 Author Posted July 18, 2014 As long as it doesn't have an annoying hiss I think I'm going to go for one & if I need more bottom end I'll just have to add a 1 x 15. Quote
BluRay Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I haven't noticed any hiss at all. I've only used the 210 version, and its plenty deep (thats using an abm head). Can't comment on the neo 115 - I didn't like the regular abm 115 particularly, so decided to stick with the 210s. Quote

Kevin Dean Posted July 18, 2014 Author Posted July 18, 2014 At the moment I use the ABM Neo 400 R with a Barefaced super 12T . I use the ABM head with the foot switch to cover all the sounds I need , The EQ & Drive to get a Stranglers type sound , Compression & Octave for Tony Levin type sound , but with the shape button it is just a little bit to bass heavy & was hoping that the Neo 2x10 might just resolve that . Plus it looks nicer , looks easier to carry , & I'm just talking myself into getting one ...Oh & the after sales service at Ashdown has been excellent Quote

I get better results with running the abm eq mostly flat, no compression and a bit of drive.The neo cabs are a bit less dark and bassy than regular abm (never tried S12), so you can bump the bass / low mids more, and its still nice and tight - but I don't think the shape thing helps much.
