Ashdown little Bastard +4x12

[tom1946]

Hi guys, as title.

Anyone use the little B? any good? bear in mind this is for church use and I'm looking for bottom end that doesn't sound muddy or that you're listening to it with half blocked ears. Do you know what I mean here?

I'm competing with keyboard, drums and 2 electro acoustic guitars so not your average church!

For a cab I'm looking at the Ashdown MAG410T 4x10 Deep Blackline Bass Speaker Cab. Now these are available with blueline speakers as well so which is better?

Any thoughts, comments or alternatives very welcome.
Bear in mind I currently play a USA Precision or a Jazz. I don't want lots of sliders, eq's etc' because I'd never use them.

KISS and all that.

it's not going to do big clean low end unless you get some really effiecent cabs. I.e not ashdown ones.

[tom1946]

Oh right, wasn't aware of that thanks.

On the cab side then does no-one rate ashdown cabs? Why?

What's better in the same price range?

Nothing IME. They are as good as anything else in their price bracket which means not as good as most of the "boutique" cabs that are so common nowadays

Umph's point was that they're not particularly efficient.

There is no difference in the black and blue speakers except the colour. That's what Ashdown told me anyway.
