[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1397486823' post='2424372'] They don't have to be the same wattage, but bear in mind the amps power will be split between them, so if you had an amp that put out 400W into 4 ohms, you'd want two 8-ohm cabs rated at least 200W each. In general, many 15s are deeper and bassier than 10s, but this is not always the case, it depends on the speaker and cabinet design and also if there is a horn/tweeter. A decent 1x15 will do you for most small pub type gigs. My favourite setup is a vertical 2x12 though, as it'll cope with larger venues, doesn't take up as much floor space as a 4x10 or a pair of 1x15s, and the vertical stacking arrangement means both you and the crowd can hear you better. [/quote] Thanks for that Dannybuoy , vertical 2x12 sounds good ! Regarding the design , is the physical depth of the cab a major factor in the sound or has that more to do with the speaker ? Ashdown seem to have a good range of cabs , with both deep and slim designs . [quote name='eude' timestamp='1397567026' post='2425194'] How about one of these?

[/quote] Cheers Eude , the weight may be an issue , but that is rather nice ! Love the colour

I've just ordered this little beauty Now all I need to do is raise some cash for a Cab ! Or 2 !! I don't know anything about speaker combinations and the sounds they make , so in my own little noob/numpty way I'm going to ask for your help again guys I like a bassy , warm sound so what would be my ideal set up ? 4 x10 , 2x12 , 2x15 ????? All at 4 ohms I'm assuming . Also , am I right in assuming that if it's 2 cabs they both have to be the same wattage ?

Would the Amp be compatible with other Ashdown cabs i.e. a RM Mag 115 ? ah .. just checked the link dannybouy

Thanks fellas , thats great , lots of info and advice for me to be going on with and trying to digest

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1396966452' post='2419204'] Hey mate, I recently got one, and 2 Mi10 cabs to go with it, I'm very happy with it too. It seems plenty loud, although I haven't put it up against a live band yet. The amp has a nice natural tone to it, keeping the gain clean its quite hifi, but you can crank the gain for some lovely overdrive which gives you a much warmer old school tone. The EQ section is simple and doesn't make any extreme changes, it's quite subtle but I like it, not a big fan of massive over the top EQs anyway. The headphone out/aux in is very useful. Its small, light and built like a tiny tank, plus you get a 5 year warranty, what's not to like?! [attachment=159719:MiBass_Rig.jpg] Eude [/quote] Thanks Eude , I'm a complete beginner when it comes to rigs , I've only ever had combo's so its all new to me really . but this looks and sounds like it could be a bit tasty . I like a warm old school type sound ,Classic Rock style I suppose . My combo at the mo is a Marshall MB150 . I like the Ashdown sound , having tried a Rig in a local music shop and thought this might be worth a try at £300 . I'm not gigging but the bands guitarist who I jam with has a Blackstar 120 watt amp which can get pretty loud . I'm wondering what size cab I would need to enable the MiBass to hold its own , as gigging may arise at some point . The blurb says 640 watt max I think ..? That might be a tad overkill but maybe around 300 - 400 watt ?

I'm looking at going over to Amp Head and Cab from combo and looking at the MiBass 2.0 , anybody got one or experience of one ?

Just completed a quick and easy deal with Alan , a good guy you can't go wrong with , Thank you

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1395142620' post='2399056'] It might be worth contacting marshall's service dept. they have been very helpful with me answering and solving tech issues I've had in the past. [/quote] [quote name='davehux' timestamp='1395146720' post='2399127'] Is it the same on both channels? If so, probably the speaker. If it's only on the Classic (valve) channel, could just be a new valve needed. It's a standard ECC83 (12AX7) valve which will cost you £15 and takes a few minutes to fit [/quote] I never thought of giving Marshall a call , good idea . I don't use the Modern channel very often …I'd better try both channels thoroughly and make sure . Trying to make myself heard along the Blackstar may be a bit too much for a 150 ….? Thanks

My mb150 has started to distort at under half volume , do I need to replace the speaker ? I'm not sure whether to get it checked out and possibly repaired , then add a cab or get rid and buy an amp head and cab …..? I'm jamming stuff with a few friends at the mo and the guitarist has a 120watt Blackstar amp . Any forthcoming advice will wholeheartedly welcome as I'm completely tech knowledge free Thanks in advance , Mike
