I’m in the process of going back to using Ashdown gear. The way it goes, you go around the houses, then end up more or less back where you were 15 years ago!
+1 on the added bonus of being able to get the guys at Ashdown to fix and service too.
And the quality of what you can get for the money secondhand is dead right. Picked up (not literally) a physically battered but audibly perfect MAG 8x10 for less than £100 of fleabay and in process of purchasing an older ABM head off here. The whole rig for around £300?!?!? Still gives me enough left over for a more portable cab for gigs, with the 8x10 sitting in the rehearsal space.
Bonkers.
