Thanks for the heads up guys, I really have to check these out 😀

Thanks Dannybouy, had not really considered micro but will check it out. Cannot seem to find any dealers that yet have Ashdown non ported in stock, definitely a try before you buy at those prices so hoping a fellow basschatter will come up trumps !

Thanks for that, Kevin, if you are out there do get in touch ! Russ

Evening all, has anyone out there had any experience with the new Ashdown 210 sealed Neo cabs, I am looking for a nice tight sounding cab with a good punchy mid without the weight factor so a sealed Neo cab would on the face of it be the perfect solution, or do you know otherwise !!!! Any feedback gratefully accepted

2nd Keyboard player wanted for Surrey based ( Guildford area ) working band. An interesting project for a player that's into laying down brass, strings and Hammond parts to bluesy, soulful grooves with uncomplicated players that love what they do. Please call Russ on 07710 226003 for a chinwag

Ah, thanks to you all for your considered response and pleased I am not alone on this one.

A pet hate of mine, You place an item up for sale and get a response from Mr 'very interested' who asks various questions about said item and wants to know if its still available. You take the time to answer as fully and accurately as you can and ask Mr 'very interested' if he would like to view the item, and what happens next ? Absolutely nothing !! does this sound familiar to you ? Now perhaps i am old fashioned, but all it takes is a few minutes to show fellow basschatters a bit of respect and courtesy even if the response is 'thanks but no thanks' at least it is a response and everyone can move on. This is a great site and provides a great service to bass players everywhere, lets show courtesy and respect to fellow bass player cos we are all part of the same brotherhood. There, now its off my chest and thank you for listening !

Have no experience of the amps but credit where its due, i toured a couple of 410 XL cabs for a couple of years with a trace valve head and later on a Classic head and i loved em. Very punchy, tight sound in fact i still have a 210 XL cab at home for practising with and when its hooked up to the old Quatravalve it sounds half decent ! I did trial a couple of Hi Drives and although they are not quite as heavy to lug around i found they were a little more 'polite' sounding than the XLs. Horses for course i guess

Think i may have opened a can of worms here !

Thanks Bill, I understand where you are coming from ref drivers but surely the design of the enclosure would have a large part to play ? Ported versus sealed etc ?

Some advice wanted from fellow basschatters please, from experience, which cabs would you say had the most midrange attack ( transient response ) ? Bergies, Aggies, Vanderkleys, or indeed any other cab that's out there at the moment. Thanks in advance
