[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1429015949' post='2747035'] Ha I know what you mean - My OCD was kicking in on the weekend when I plopped my Ashdown ABM evoii on top of my new Barefaced super compacts. Amp was 1/2in wider than the cabs either side. Unless I change the amp, I guess the cabs will be going on their side from now on, but then the Barefaced logo won't be face up! [/quote] It's not that bad! More importantly tho, how did you like the sound?

[quote name='Deedee' timestamp='1428843940' post='2745107'] Hi all Grabbed the bargain of the century yesterday (well, apart from those cabs in the previous post above picked up for £100). A 1215SMX just in need of a good wipe over with a damp cloth for £149 and this was from a store! It sounds absolutely superb, everything works and even the green knob cap (that was missing in the photographs posted in the stores ad) turned up wedged between the amp and the cabinet. Now I think I've got all eventualities covered so I'd better refrain from any further SMX based purchases. [/quote] No, you don't have enough SMX amplification there.

Haha, Mark Gooday has just posted a whinge on Facebook about the amount of times he's asked the impedance question in a day! Ashdown are now soon to do a video about it apparently...

Ashdown's new ABM range has a lifetime warranty and their after sales care is second to none in my experience. I think their other amps have 5 years on their warranty

Cracking!

If I recall you'll need a special Speakon cable made up, because of the way the cab is wired for the biamp options on the AH1000-12 for which it was designed. Seek out OBBM of these shores and he may be able to help

[quote name='largo' timestamp='1428839294' post='2745022'] I had the ABM 500 and got a great tone from it, rolled back on the bass a little it gave me a nice punchy tone. never understood why people seem to slate Ashdowns so much. I'd be inclined to give your amp a chance before changing. The new Evo 4 looks good. [/quote] I concur

I've just modded an Ashdown Mi10 cab from the single jack socket to two parallel Speakon/jack combi sockets. Cost me about a tenner in materials and a tenner in getting a few beers for a friend who did the metalwork The alternatives with only one amp output and no link sockets on the cabs are: 1. Get Dave (OBBM on here) to make you a splitter box, so amp output goes into the box and that has two parallel outs for the cabs 2. Get a special lead made up. 3. Wait about a month for Ashdown's new RM110 cab, this is similar in price to the Mi10 but will have parallel speaker sockets so you can daisy chain from one can to the next

There's a Six10 in the classifieds at the moment......

I think the WT300 has a preamp/line output which you can use to drive a power amplifier, yes

Trust me, an EVO II through two Super Compacts is an incredible sound Let us know how you get on!

Brilliant news!

Best cab I've ever used. Two of them is often overkill for me

Haha cool

Hmm, I want an LB30 now!

Excellent. Can your dad buy me bass gear too please?

A natural progression, which is to be encouraged

Excellent! Been a successful year for you on the amps front

[quote name='Tullfan' timestamp='1427744711' post='2733826'] A-hem, Off the cuff, I'm sure someone's collared a good deal, but trying to button down where on the south coats? ;-) [/quote] Haha!

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1427731792' post='2733596'] If I didn't have 2 super compacts on order I'd be on the Motorway now! I bloody knew this would happen! [/quote] Ah bugger, sorry!

PS they have always been an immensely stable rig in the past, it's all because the new amp is too wide, deep and heavy to make me confident in a stack. Staying with BF and going for a Retro Six10 hopefully

Read, then buy.....
