I know this thread is over a year old, but I have a question regarding the tonal differences between the ABMs and the RMs. Currently, I use the MAG600 EVO-II and love the tonal controls. I find that boosting the low-mids (220-240?) brings out an incredible tone. I'm upgrading soon and wondered if I should go for the RM or the ABM. With so much praise for the ABM, and it's lack of the 220-240Hz adjustment, has me a bit torn between which of the two I should get. I understand the jury's still out on the 200-400hz....blah blah blah...mud zone....blah blah blah..., but I kinda like it. It makes my Ibanez SR306e sound amazing through my ABM-210s vertically stacked. So...would I be able to achieve the MAG600 tonality? Bass: 2 Low-Mids: 1 Mids: 8 Hi-mids: 12 High: 2-3 (depending on the room).

Thanks for the welcome! I was thinking about the RM 12, but haven’t seen any reviews.

Thank you!

Hello, Basschat UK! I'm from northern New York, USA. And, when I say northern NY, I mean as far north as you can get before crossing the Canadian border (in the corner of Vermont and NY). I've been playing bass for nearly three decades. I'm a HUGE fan of Ashdown, been playing the EB-180-12 since 2007. I've had other "rigs" in the meantime, but have always kept that amp. I seem to dislike everything I've played except the Ashdown! Unfortunately, Ashdown isn't as popular here in the states as they should be so, Basschat UK is the only place I can get any sort of real reviews...hopefully. Currently, I play with a country-, bluegrass-, funk-esque style band; however, my influences are all over the place from Duff McKagan, Oteil Burbridge, Keith Mosely, and (the late) Bobby Sheehan. I can't forget players from the Motown/Staxx era, either, though they are more of an indirect influence. Recently, I started paying attention to Wojtek Pilichowski and Paul Turner. Thanks y'all for the time to introduce myself. I look forward to rapping with everyone! Please! If any of you have suggestions as to whom to listen to and study...I'm all ears!
