eude Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I've not tried them, but given how good the Rootmaster amps are, I can't imagine they're not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eude Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1468587651' post='3091978'] I've got the 2x10" and 1x15". I'm smitten. [/quote] How's the 1x15 as a standalone cab? Oh, and how manageable is it, size and weight wise? I'm thinking about changing my set up from two of those little Mi10 cabs you see, one single cab, and a big full sound is what I'm hoping for, but in not too large a package...

AndyTravis Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Amp on back in handy carry bag, one can in each hand. Mega light. Both lighter than my old Mibass 12's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBod Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Sounds silly, but I took an instant dislike to the very open weave grill cloth...didn't seem very gig worthy and reminded me of some dodgy stuff from the late 70's...Trucker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) I like the fact I can see the white cones, much like the mark bass stuff, better than boring black boxes. I wanted the cabs blue with red grille cloth but didn't have the funds (or patience) to wait. I've really taken to this rig. And the cabs are light, the big handles which are inset make them even easier to shift. Edited July 15, 2016 by AndyTravis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The tweeter is 3 way switchable too, low/high/off - means that hf is there if you want it or you can go for thump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Dean Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 I can't wait to try these with my ABM1000 , unbelievable price , 2 cabs for the price of one of my Barefaced cabs & in the same weight range . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarfyBass Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hopefully try some weds when my 500 EVO is being serviced, 2x10 takes my fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeycrikey Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I am considering going for the Ashdown 2x10 and 1x15 cabs to use with my Trace Elliot 300w SMX. The weight of the cabs is ideal but I have not been able to find any revues on these cabs. The alternative for me would be the Fender Rumble 2x10 and 1x15. Both of these are a tad heavier but they get a lot of positive feedback from owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarfyBass Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 [quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1473798200' post='3133273'] Anything to report ? [/quote] Unfortunately there wasn't any available to try. The ABM EVO has now moved on to another member on here and been replaced with the awesome Little Bastard (again from here) which I've tried with my Klystron 2x10 Neo cabs which is great but they are quite large and heavy for my crap back. Really want to try a 12" cab though but they seem pretty rare now , well Ashdown ones do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeycrikey Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 [quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1473833423' post='3133387'] Have you seen the review above with Nathan King (Marks Brother) above . [/quote] I have seen the review with Nathan King but I felt that most of it was aimed at the amp and its various features. Apart from expressing how little the two cabs weighed I don't think they had that much to say other than their power rating. I am hoping to try some out for myself, but until I get the chance I will put my faith in the opinions and reviews expressed on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
