JapanAxe Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I've done a couple of rehearsals with my new band at a rehearsal studio. I took my Demeter head and BF Super Twin to the first one, but I noticed there was an Ashdown ABM600 head and a 4x10 cab in the room. The room 2 floors up from ground level (there is a goods lift!) so the second time I left the BF in the car and took up my Mark Bass Nano 300. The ABM head turned out to be shagged (distorted, hardly any volume) so I plugged the Nano into the 4x10, expecting it to be all dull and woolly. Bloody Nora - what a great sound! Big, fat, and even, with (ahem) heft that did not seem possible from the pocket-sized amp. It just goes to show... something, but I don't know what. Mind you, I almost broke myself carrying the cab to where I wanted it in the room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I had similar experiences when using Ashdown gear as provided/shared rigs, simply loved the power and weight to the sound. So I ditched my lightweight expensive gear in favour of an Ashdown ABM setup and have stayed with it for longer than any other setup I’ve had, since joining Basschat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
