Enjoyed this. Big fan of Guy Pratt - he's played some killer lines over the years - I really like that today bass line too. Was a bit surprised he had zoom b3 on his board though

The fender rumble stuff is similarly priced in the UK to ashdown and is lightweight. Don't know too much about them, and have never used them. But I do seem to remember reading good stuff about them on here. Perhaps worth a look?

I would say the amp heads are the shining lights of the Ashdown range, and while the speaker cabs are good, I do think you could still get great/better performance out of a different lightweight cab. I'm currently running 2 x abm 115 evo 2 compact cabs, but I'm always on the lookout for something lightweight that'll do the job. I suppose aesthetically you may want all Ashdown though.

I have one of these for sale in the classifieds at the moment - Just sayin 😉

One of the differences is the pro Neos are sealed. Which probably means they're not as loud - or you have to push em harder to get the same volume. Pretty sure @BassAdder60has had pro neo as well as the heavier abm cabs

I picked up a 2nd hand gator bag for mine, it's a touch big, but does the job well and makes it easy to carry in/out of venues

I played through an abm Evo iii with a 410 cab. The amp didn't seem close to the Evo iv in terms of low end, presence, and tone. Is the Evo iv just a lot better? Or the alternative could be that the cab was raised 3ft off the floor on a flight case. Could the floor coupling (or lack of) be the reason for the lack of low end and presence?

I've been using mine recently with shape off (in), eq flat apart from boosting the last 2 sliders to the right - great for if you want a bit of clarity, without clack. That said, I have been switching between a 215 cab and a 410 cab and I have to set the eq different depending on what cab I use.

I've just picked up a mighty plug 2 2nd hand for £25 - pretty good deal. A couple of observations/questions. I like to play along to tracks on my phone (youtube, spotify, etc). As I understand the music audio is eq'd within the mighty plug app before it gets sent to headphones. The Eq mix (whichever preset I choose) in the mighty plug app seems really bass heavy. So much so that I have to Eq the bass out on my phones settings. Anyone else found this? Also, I tried recording Mighty plug into Audacity onto my PC. However, the signal seems really temperamental and appears to be cutting out. I have updated to the latest firmware and driver. I think this is more likely an Audacity issue though. Perhaps I need to find a better recording software! Other than that, its a really cool bit of kit. I do think the volume buttons on mighty plug 3 would be really useful when playing along to different tracks that are at different volumes - it'll save you switching between apps to get volume levels correct.

Gavin bought my mojo mojo pedal. Great Comms & great guy to deal with. Thanks @Lensbod

I would recommend a compressor pedal (if you plan to use one). I think the inbuilt one is ok, but reduces your output volume quite a bit.

The barefaced 10s didn't work for me with my abm, nice and warm sounding, but lacking a bit of clarity to my ears - I felt like I was struggling to cut through the mix. Mind you they have a new version available with a tweeter which could be just what I would have wanted.

Here's the video that got me interested. I just use the gain and none of the clipping diodes. Sounds great to my ears and sits really nice in a mix in a rock setting

There's so much you can do with it via the neuro App - Its a bit overwhelming to be honest! Fortunately the out of the box presets are good. I picked one up for £80 so its a bit more budget friendly in comparison to Darkglass stuff

I no longer use the valve drive on my ABM. I've switched to using a JPTR FX Jive pedal which I set right on the point of breakup - it fattens up the tone and I prefer the breakup over the built in valve drive in the abm. I've also recently acquired a Source Audio aftershock. I'm just using the presets for more overdriven sound, but something like that might be worth considering. Its a super versatile pedal and my first impressions are pretty good.

Bought a source audio pedal from @Brian45. Super fast delivery and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks

I'm pretty happy soundwise with My ABM evo 2 compact cabs, so I'd only swap them out for something lightweight that sounded equally as good! Those 310's are fantastic looking cabs though

Those cabs look great! As I mentioned in another post, I'd definitely snap some of those up if there was a lightweight version available

I wish they'd do a lightweight version of those cabs

I bought a gator bag from Dan. Item in great condition, packed really well & arrived quickly. Thanks Alex
