munkonthehill Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hey all, just wondering if anyone would consider a swap. Im looking for a 300-400watt head ideally with a tube or 2 in it. The head has been gigged once and is in perfect working condition and appearance. The only reason im considering this swap as my cab is rated at 400watts at 4ohmes so scared incase i blow it to bits hahaha. So if you have anything your looking to swap and get a bit more wattage then please pm me dudes. This head is not for sale as I think its the mutts nutz,im just hoping for something that wont ruin my cab. an amp that goes to 2ohmes with an output of 800watts would be amazing (cash can be parted with). Keep in mind its xmas and miracles can happen;-) cheers Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im really hoping for a swap rather than buying something (due to issues we discussed a few months back haha). But I have to say for an all tube head they are amazing value for money. Im just not a big fan of Behringers, I think I may be starting to be snob after purchasing an ampeg cabinet However im really interested in that ashdown 8x10 thats for sale, i wonder if a cab swap is in order rather than the head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

andy67 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 The mag 810 is a brilliant cabinet! you can buy them new for £400 so funding wont be too much of an issue considering the ampeg is worth £250 of anyone's cash! If the dude is up for a trade then I would say jump on it! it will partner your head beautifully. I did a brief review of one in the review section: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=12775"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=12775[/url] Reading it again, I would recommend it highly! andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 What have you decided to do Steve? andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkonthehill Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 well chris has been amazing and given me a few options, main one being rewiring the cab to 16 ohmes so the head output to it is dropped to about 250watts. This means I get to keep the 600watt head incase I want to start adding extention cabs. He still has the H&K head and I have to say im sorely tempted by that, but we aint spoke of a trade deal on that. Plus Tom on here is mid deal on trading his 8x10, so im kinda hoping that falls through(sorry but im selfish) and I can swoop down and help him take it off his his hands hahahaha. So just now there is a few things happening, just unsure on my next step. I think my main 'want' is the 8x10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkonthehill Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 ok chaps, still looking for a 400watt head at 4 ohmes or 600-800watt at 2ohmes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hey Steve, Get another cab! I have the lead here that will enable you to connect to 4ohm cabs in series - it's yours free! It will reduce the volume in the ashdown head to around 400watt. When I used it it reduced to ampeg from 450w to 300w. andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably wouldnt use the cable. If I use the ampeg on its own I have to watch my levels but still get 400watts, If i use the cable and use 2 cabs, I still get 400watts split between 2 cabs which means I get 200watts out each cab (I think im correct hahaha). So wouldnt really gain in sound out of the extra cab. I really fancy a 2ohme head that will go to 700-800watts. once I get that all my worries are solved. failing that a 400watt head with tubes in it. When I was speaking to Chris I said to him also that I was really happy with the sound, however inexperience of rigs has left me having to watch levels at every gig. Owell, you live and learn I guess. Cheers Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
