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

Yep that would work ..

I would buy it if there was a way of getting it to Suffolk ! However on reflection I think I will park my plans for now

Anyone selling a 410 cab in Suffolk / Norfolk ?

Looking for an additional bass cab to use for band rehearsals I currently have the excellent Ampeg SVT212AV cab which I use with my ABM600 head ( huge sound ) Ideally want a good loud but cheap cab as a backup or use at rehearsals etc but to use on its own Ideally a single cab and weight isn’t a major issue but nothing more than a 410 cab etc I play loud heavy rock to pop rock so it needs to be punchy and loud Are the RM410 Ashdown cabs loud ? They are lighter than some I believe Looking at a budget of circa £300 to £400 ideally

I believe on some earlier models the VU didn’t do much The models today show an accurate display of input signal which used in conjunction with using your ears can set the ideal input gain to the amp.

I’ve been noticing how much more signal my Ashdown VU meter shows on my low E string compared to say the A string Ive lowered my pickup slightly more ( already angled to match neck radius etc ) and I saw a better result where they appear more matched So another great feature on the Ashdown amps makes a useful balancing gauge on strings !! Will see how much more balanced at rehearsals but at least I can get max input settings without fear of crashing into the red zone too often when playing the E string !

In addition to the Ashdown RM500 another great amp is the Orange Little Bass Thing head 500w clean amp and very tube like sounding. Simple EQ and loud !!

In fact I’ve now sold both the TC and Ampeg as I don’t think I need to run a compressor at all !
