Kevin Dean Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 GAK are advertising cabs that are not on Ashdowns web site ? I'm getting confused over what does what , eg Neo cabs with rubber handles , Neo 12" cab with no measurements ? ABM cabs with Neo speaker but no weight published or sizes ? Whats going on ? Quote
Merton Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 New 2015 products, Ashdown told me last week the website should be updated very soon. The little neo 112 looks ace Quote
Kevin Dean Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 I'm just trying to see what my options are for stacking another cab under my NEO 2 x 10 (the one with inset handles & front ported ) I'm not sure I want another 2 x10 as I want a bit more depth & would like to know the dimension & weights of the 1 x12 & 1 x15 cabs . Quote
Merton Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 The 1x12 will be smaller, it's the same width as an ABM head if that helps Quote
martin8708 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Just had a look . The Foundation 1x 15 is the same price as a Bergantino NV115 . Hmm , decisions, decisions . Quote
Ashdown Engineering Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Does the Bergantino come with a lifetime warranty? Quote
waynepunkdude Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 ABM stuff is bomb proof. I gigged a ABM410 in a punk band with an SVT5 for years not a single issue. Quote

[/quote] Not one that I can see on their website . I have just read the thread on the Social B , some of the comments are pretty unnecessary . I have used Ashdown before , a Spyder 550 amp , so my interest is genuine . At £700 , the 1x15 is rubbing shoulders with Bergantino / Vanderkley so the more information available , the more confident I feel that I am buying a good quality cab . From a customers point of view , handing over 700 notes for something that we may or may not get on with is always a bit risky . Anywhere local to Isle of Wight / Southampton/ Portsmouth to try one out ? Quote

Kevin Dean Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 I sent an email to GAK asking them to confirm the spec on one of the cabs as I've had problems before & this is the reply I got ;[color=#000000]Hi Kevin, many thanks for your email.[/color] [color=#000000]Actually,there was no 2013 version of the SG Futura Min-Etune.Perhaps you are referring to the 2013 SG Future Tribute, in which case there are a few differences.The Future Tribute is a more 'stripped down' guitar ,and has '57 pickups ,asymmetric neck profile and ships with a gig bag,whereas the 2014 Futura has a P90 and Burstbucker 3 pickups, 60's neck profile, 15db boost switch,120th anniversary inlay at the 12th fret and comes with a hardshell case.Gibson guitars carry a years warranty.[/color] [color=#000000]Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any further assistance.[/color] [color=#000000]Kind regards[/color] [color=#000000]Guitar Shop[/color] [color=#000000]GAK.CO.UK[/color] I'm now convinced that they're all trying to make me have a break down Quote
grenadilla Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I saw pictures of a 2015 UK-made ABM410 with big ports on the bottom of the front.This cabinet won't be cheap. I recently got two Chinese ABM 410s for $500 each. I like them OK but my sealed ABM 610 sounds better. It's hard to find what you like... Rock On. Quote
Kevin Dean Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 I've discovered a new device called a phone , I might try to use it to contact GAK . Quote
