mazdah Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I recently saw them in my local shop, unfortunately user the big pile of other gear so no chance to test them without serious reasons. These are the newer models, the same as you can find on Ashdown webpage - small and black, not the "classic Neo" version. I'm using Ampeg PF cabs, but since I got the Little Bastard with VS112 cab and I'm very satisfied with the sound - my Ampegs are semi retired since last Christmas. I can't get VS212 anywhere so I'm thinking about getting the cabs from my local shop, they have 115 and 210. Anyone tried them? Any opinions?

skychaserhigh Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I have one of the 210 Neo's and it's a very good cab. I might be moving it on soon though as I don't really have a use for it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Dean Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I have 2 x 1x10 neo cabs ..they are excellent ..The only reason I favour my Barefaced is that it's even lighter . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazdah Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Is the 2x10 capable of being use as standalone cab? I know Ashdown amps and cabs have usually a very decend low-end, but I never could any decent punch on stage to hear myself without mudding everything up with low mids of my PF-210 cab.

BluRay Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I have 2 ABM NEO 210s, and they are top notch cabs. The latest batch are sealed 1000w versions but mine are ported and rated at 500w. I'd say one would be enough for most situations. Two together are immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazdah Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 This is the model I can buy. I will try to convince the sales man to dig them up for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Dean Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 The 1 x15 I think is 350 w , I've gigged with one 2 x10 several times 500w RMS & it worked fine (both ported ), I used two to get the height for monitoring .Like I said before the reason I use the barefaced 12T is that it does the same job that both the Ashdown cabs do but half the weight , The Ashdowns are not heavy at 44lbs each but when you a bad back it makes a difference .

BruceBass3901 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I've got the newer ABM NEO 210 cab, which is sealed and rated at 1000W and I have to say that it is a truly fantastic sounding cab. Very loud and just a fantastic tone. I was previously gigging with an ABM 610 cab and I think I can say that it blows it out of the water both in terms of tone and volume. I would recommend these cabs to anybody looking for great tone and great maneuverability. They are great lightweight cabs that have definitely not compromised on tone or volume.
