    You should like those, great set-up imo. Bizarrely on the RM the pre-shape is on when pushed in. It gets very confusing.....

    Yes so I noticed. It sounds the business I’ve got to be honest, I wasn’t expecting a sound that is so close to the ABM kit.  Now I need to protect my investment with some covers. Any recommendations?

    oh, forgot to mention but I will be posting a couple of Ashdown ABM goodies in the for sale forum shortly as they are now no longer required.😁

    You did have the Pre-Shape button in, didn’t you? Bizarrely that switches off the scooped setting of the ABM, rather than engaging it.

    Yes I did 😁 too late to go back now I’ve just traded the ABM for the RM500 with matching cabs! Sounded great in the shop! Let’s hope I can replicate it at this Sunday’s gig😊

    I hope you're right. I have a small pub gig this Saturday night and will try the Ashdown with the BB2 and see what it's like. Thanks EliasMooseblaster for the reassurance.

    Well the gig went well but the ABM did not work well with the BB2. The sound was too scooooooped!! Back to the drawing board.

    I may well be adding to my RM range, my ABM cabs are becoming a little bit too much for me now, so thinking of another batch of two of the 210s, which were great.

    Which 2 x 10s are you using?

    Used my RM500 set up on Saturday night to play outdoors for the fireworks display to 3-4000 people. Amazing sound and clarity, easy load in and out. Sensible easy to use EQ, DI, I changed amps so much over the years but I don't think you can beat the Rootmaster range without spending a considerable amount more. They've nailed what a gigging bassist needs IMO.

    Hi There, What cabs did you use with the RM500?

    Obviously the cab's voicing will have an effect on the overall sound, but I don't think it will prevent you from getting a warm, valvey tone. Most of the colouring of your tone will come from the amp itself; the cab will just emphasise certain aspects of that. I've been running my Ashdown into a similarly well-voiced, modern cab (a Berg 2x12), and it's certainly done no harm to the tone - if anything it's helped it to carry further!

    I hope you're right. I have a small pub gig this Saturday night and will try the Ashdown with the BB2 and see what it's like. Thanks EliasMooseblaster for the reassurance.

  7. I have a dilemma please can anyone help or advise.

    I am yearning for that old school fat warm valve sound I used to get from my TE AH250 and 4 x 10 and 1 x 15 Peavey cabs back in the 80's. I have been using Aguilar stuff more recently but have decided after many hours of reading to go with Ashdown. I have always liked the tone of the Evo 500 stuff. So i have gone out and bought me an Ashdon ABM 600 evo IV head. My plan was to get the ABM 210T and ABM 115H compact cabs to go with it. However this is where I need your help. I acquired a Ashdown ABM 210T Compact and just by putting it away in the garage my back has started to complain. I am now thinking of using the Ashdown head with a Barefaced BB2 i have. Do you think I will get the sound I am looking for or do I need to get a trolly for the compact cabs?
