  1. If I were in your situation (and I really wish I was :)) I would go and see the amp and try and lift it. If you think it is managable, snap it up for the £300. If you then find its too much (weight or power wise), you have 2 options...

    1) Hang on to it and use your 410 for gigs and keep the fridge as a 'fun time' amp in your rehearsel space (or room / whatever)

    2) Sell it on... You could probably make a profit on it and the case

    I've only ever played through an 810 once and that was the ABM 810 with an ABM1000 sat on top. I am a 5'7/5'8, fairly weedy 18 year old and this thing was roughly the same size as me. I tried lifting it, and I found that I could 'manage' it, but I wouldn't want to do it by myslef everynight. However, the sound was just incredible. I cranked it up a little and was literally stepping into the sound of this thing. I'm hoping that 2 of the ABM 410s will have a similiar effect without the manoeuvrability issues

  2. Just out of curiosity... Are these the cabs that can be seen in the 'Not Afraid' video?

    For those who wish to compare, go to 1:00 :)

  3. Hello there guys :)

    I'm looking to move into the world of a seperate head and cab, and I would appreciate a little input.

    I'm currently running a homemade 5 string Jazz bass with MM Stingray pickups and preamp and an Ibanez SR305 thorugh an ever increasing pedalbaord into an Ashdown EB180-15 Combo amp.

    The Ashdown is fine for practicing at home when I am not competeing with a frantic drummer and 2 or occasionally 3 guitarists. I love the sound of the Ashdown (the warmth and calrity), so I'm thinking maybe something in one of their higher ranges would be a good place to look.

    As far as cabinets go, I was considering a 4 x 10 but was unsure of where would be a good starting point.

    My main music shop is the Nevada Music warehouse in Portsmouth, and they have a pretty wide range of amps available such as Ashdowns, Orange, Trace Elliot, some Markbass, some Genz Benz and some Eden stuff. I really don't know where to start :lol:

    Price wise, I'm probabaly looking at roughly £1000 for a head and a cab.

    Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Thank you :)
