I Played An Ashdown Combo - And Liked It!


Recommended Posts

Posted

There is something about Ashdown that I liked. I still got my perfect 10 mini bass stack lol. Currently using a Ashdown LB30 as my main amp for gig. Don't have the money for a ashdown cab to go along with that yet lol.

Hmm, 4x10 combos by their nature aren't really gonna be lightweight...

:) There's obviously a niche in the market... what about filling the cab with helium?
Come on, I have all these great ideas - it's up to the engineers to make them work!

Wouldn't that give it a high pitched squeaky tone? That's what happened to me when I got filled with hellium... :huh: :unsure: :gas:

Hmm, perhaps I mean nitrous oxide. Then even if the combo is heavy you'll be laughing uproariously, so it won't matter.

We will have a bash tomorrow and let you know

Usual rules apply, pictures (preferably video footage if at all possible) or it just didn't happen.

And if there's any helium or nitrous oxide left over, you know, share it out... :)

I got myself a MarkBass CMD 121P for small gigs (which is all I do). But my Ashdown Touring 220 2x12 rig is still sitting there. I just can't bring myself to sell it. It's just gloriously warm and vintagey and looks great. Can't for the life of me figure out the passive EQ - can't even find a "flat" tone but crank up that input gain, let the tubes heat up and enjoy. I think my VU meter is bust though, it doesn't move :(

That was one of my first amps and it sounded great. Got replaced only because it wasn't loud enough for gigging.
