Thanks, Lozz - it's the first time my wife has stopped what she was doing upstairs and come down to tell how good it sounded. It's a reassuringly heavy old beast (the combo, not the wife!), but it sounds like it feels - very solid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gigged my combo yet, but did take to rehearsal yesterday and the sound was even praised by a guitarist. I told them that the sound came at a price - willing helpers to get the beast up and down the stairs at the rehearsal room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got one, only practiced with it so far, but sounds good and keeps up with the drummer. I think I’ll stick with my 2 x 15 compact cabs. Way lighter and I like 15s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Dean Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I popped into Ashdown yesterday to buy a CTM 100 & they repaired my ABM1000 & serviced my LB550 while I waited. They gave me a tour & I can't believe how much time Mark , Dan & the team gave me .They even tried to fix the clutch on my Van .lol. I love this company for loads of reasons , They take great pride in what they do & over the years they actually listen to the customer & act upon it . I think what ever make you use now you should A/B it against an Ashdoown . 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAdder60 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Just got myself the Ashdown ABM210H 500w cab The current models are 300w I believe With my ABM600 head it’s a lovely sounding cab, might add a second cab ? They are heavier than the Pro Neo sealed cabs but they sound very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I have been so impressed by the ABM 500 2x10 combo I bought from a Basschatter a couple of weeks that I have today bought an ABM 500 1x15 combo also from another Basschatter. The combos aren't the lightest gear around, but they are very rugged and sound superb. The 1x15 will probably live at our rehearsal room (in a private house) so I can enjoy using it with a band without having to carry it about. Both deals have been very straightforward, and meeting other bass players in the process just added to the pleasure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexa3020 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 You get a lot of amp for your money with second hand Ashdown. I guess people just want lightweight. I see an 810 going on Facebook for silly money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ern500evo Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 The older ABM’s are such bargains. I listed my 500evo RC on here for something like £125, and didn’t get a single enquiry. After a few days I thought “what am I doing, if it’s only gonna fetch £100 I may as well keep it as a spare!” I had a MAG810, it was only about £350 brand new. I gave it away to another basschatter when I stopped using it. There’s some real Ashdown bargains out there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAdder60 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I keep looking out for the ABM410H cab to come up locally for a good price ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPJ Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I sold my ABM600 and already having sellers remorse. Was just too big to have as a back up for my newly aquired OTB 500. That said, I got a cracking price for it 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ern500evo Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I love my EBS TD650 but I’m so tempted to try an AMB600. They’re obviously becoming more appreciated, when I was looking at getting one a while back, you could easily pick them up for around £350, don’t see many at that price now!

Chaddy Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I got mine for £350 3 weeks back! ( It would of been £280 if a 1 Feedback sus-account , didn't bid ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyc Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Oh hello ABM-400, I didn't notice you slink into the Ashdown website! I wonder how much the internals differ from the ABM-600. Website is light on the details unfortunately. https://ashdownmusic.com/products/abm-400-ltd-edition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
