Really sorry to see the big Hughes and Kettner Boba Fett combo leave this week.

The pain has subsided...

New Ashdown RM EVO II 500 combo has arrived 

fits in the stupid small boot in my Volvo...and sounds great - and loud.

had the rm800 head and 210/115 cabs I wish I’d never sold. 

Tgis is a great 1 box solution, and the sub is better on this too.

not promising a 115 won’t happen...

Nice one Andy, the RMs from Ashdown are a real hidden (but slowly popping their head over the parapets) range. Much beefier than any other Class D amp I`ve had.

I’ve always used Ashdown, then when iris was born I gave up hope of gigging again and sold a beautiful rig...I had a MK500/408 neo rig, and an RM800 rig.

had a beautiful chrome ABM too at one point.

Now Iris is settled and her operations are all done (for now) its time.

this is a hoot - can’t wait for rehearsal on Wednesday when I don’t have to use a tc bg250 anymore.

So, 2 rehearsals in and this combo is being pushed - new drummer is mega loud at points.

it doesn’t fart, doesn’t give up and sounds mega - I panicked and struggled on the first night as I was just getting used to the eq on the bb1100s (I’d only had the bass 4 hours) and thought I’d be needing a cab to help.

I couldn’t have been more wrong, against a 100w Two Rock Valve guitar amp and 2x12, it manages perfectly with room to spare.

Set the EQ pretty flat, and EQ’d a bit from

the bass.

Think i’ll Entertain a cab at some point - just to unnerve the drummer a bit more.

The recessed top handle is mint too as I store picks in there - just need a pint holder attachment 😉

Doesn't sound like any drummers I know! 😉

He can do quiet too - but when he gets going, Jesus it’s like having your head in a merlin engine.
