funkydoug Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Anyone got one of these? Been seriously tempted to get one, seems like great value and a bit different. Thoughts?? https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/ashdown-mag-c112-250-bass-combo-limited-edition-tweed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm a sucker for tweed and Oly white. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkydoug Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 me too! I've seen one in the flesh and it looked nice, was small and portable so I am trying hard to find a reason to not pull the trigger on one Not heard one yet though ...

Pea Turgh Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I just saw one of these on Instagram - anyone tried one in anger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkydoug Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 I've got two of them now! They're very good in my opinion (and look great too!). There's a thread on here where I explain a simple modification I've made to mine that I reckon opened up the bottom end quite a bit. Just search for my content in amps n cabs forum and you'll see it, it's a doddle to do and costs 34p. Reasons I like them other than the tweed: Small and easy to carry (although not lightweight). The size makes it easy to get it in the car, through doors, up stairs etc. Comp, drive and EQ are very good. Old school power section beats like for like paperweight amps (IMHO ) and makes them repairable rather than disposable. Front facing controls make it stackable Exposed speaker lead and fx send and return make it very flexible indeed. I can run my two as a head with 2 x 12s at 4ohms, thus always having a spare head or could run them with bigger cabs, or as a stereo rig. The internal driver is really good, as I discovered on my other thread. For something so special they're remarkably cheap! Downsides: the cab is so small it's never going to sound enormous (despite the driver being good). But that's inevitable and if you want to get a massive sound use an extension cab (remember the speaker lead is exposed, so you can unplug the internal speaker and use 2 extensions if u really want to!). Its heavier than it looks. 23kg I think, but that used to be thought of as light!! There is some uncertainty about the rated power. Its called a MAG250, the back of the amp says 300w RMS but ashdown advised me on email it's 250. I don't truly know what the RMS rating is, but it's not a big deal at all. Hope this helps... as you can probably tell I'm happy to talk about these beauties! Doug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
