[quote name='watchman' post='1214465' date='Apr 28 2011, 03:35 PM']I have an ashdown 610, the ABM. I use it with an Ashdown LG1000, and at home sometimes with a Peavey Mk 6 for nostalgia's sake. I like it a lot. It's a big clean sound and a lot of power handling in a package that I can just about manhandle into the back seat of my small car. Quite heavy, but there are built-in castors and a handle that make it a bit more manageable. I would criticize it on two grounds (for the money - I picked it up for £400 new, which seemed pretty good). First, when driving it along using the wheels and handle the centre of gravity (or whatever the term is) is such that it tends to want to drop back upright. It has to be leant back quite far to comfortably balance in transit. I imagine that this is less of a problem if you're not too tall. I'm a six-footer, and it makes me stoop. Mind you, without the wheels it'd be hell to move around. Where I live I can't get a vehicle closer than about fifty yards from my house, so this is pretty important to me. Secondly, judging by the pasting it has taken already, the vinyl covering is pretty thin and flimsy. No chucking this one around with gay abandon. I have nothing bad to say about the sound though, although you'd need my ears to take that as a recommendation in itself [/quote] Very much appreciated, sir. One of the main reasons I'm digging this cab is because of the lack of tweeter, can't stand 'em. And it has that old-school muscle mixed with new-school design vibe going for it. The weight isn't too much of an issue for me, my guitarist is a fan of Mesa cabs, and even for a guitar cab the thing is heavy (around 120lbs). I think I'll probably just have to pull the trigger and go buy one. Again, thanks from a new guy to the forum.

Greetings everyone, I was wondering if any of you have had the chance to try out any of Ashdown's 610 (ABM or CL), VS212, or VS412 cabs. They will most likely be pair with an ABM500 EVO III. I'm thinking about making my way back into the Ashdown herd after selling my MAG300R a few years ago (still regretting it). Any and all of your time is much appreciated. Cheers.
