I’m surprised that you cannot buy a bass cab riser ( think nicer beer crate ) as it would be popular in getting cabs raised so you can hear better A nice black tolex unit with rubber feet say 12” tall would make all the difference. Anyone fancy making me one !! For a good price of course !!

I agree they are a fantastic bunch. I really like my ABM600 amp

Anyone got the ABM210H cab ( current model ) they fancy selling ?

I run my ABM600 into a single SVT212AV cab in a loud rock band Trust me you will only need one cab as they are very loud and easily heard Best cab I’ve used and as good as my old Ampeg 610 without the weight Superb Cab and pairs really well with the Ashdown

Is it the current model ( front ported )

Any one gigging just a 210 Ashdown cab ?

He said the same to me about my sealed Pro Neo cabs or upgrade the actual speakers ! I had two cabs so that’s an expensive upgrade ! I think the ported 210H cabs are fairly decent sounding

Absolutely spot on … Ive spent ages adjusting my amp setup at home and taken it to band practice and it doesn’t sound right. Example I love pick playing for the rock stuff we cover but as soon as the band plays my bass tone gets swallowed up by the drums and guitar. Play with fingers and full sound with depth returns filling the room.

And we then plug straight into a good amp, fresh strings on the trusty bass and the room acoustics are favourable and the Marshall stacks are tamed and you then feel like your bass tone is perfect !

I might upgrade the speakers to Eminence Legend 200w speakers and make it a 4 ohm single use cab

Seems to me many of us are always experimenting and seeking tone improvements where perhaps none were needed ! What have you done that has changed for the better your tone and you have stopped looking ! Maybe an amp or cab or strings or effects or simply technique changes from pick to fingers or fingers to pick Naturally it’s fun changing and trying gear which makes it part of the hobby but I suspect we have all gone round in circles many times and realise we had the ideal sound after all !

Thanks .. I’m swopping my MarkBass cab with a buddy who has the ABM cab. Might even add a second for a stack if I like how it sounds

Interested in what folks think about the current Ashdown ABM210H Compact bass cab ? Not the Pro Neo but the traditional two tens side by side model One cab loud enough for rock band rehearsals?

Another vote for Ashdown Orange too Little Bass Thing head

As the OP and also the owner of a great single cab Ampeg SVT212AV I don’t think I will continue looking and be happy to use the one cab for rehearsals and gigs Thanks for the suggestions and good ideas

I gigged the 610 Ampeg for a while and it’s a lovely cab My SVT212AV cab gets pretty close to the sound / volume without the weight !

Also the better ones are made in Italy and the lower cost “ Black line “ I believe are Indonesian built The 151HR as example is one of the higher spec. Italian built cabs

I think they are sold

Yes it’s up for sale .. it’s a lovely 15” cab but I need a 410 or similar I think … it’s only for rehearsals as I normally use my Ampeg SVT212AV cab which is really nice
