hi, just seen one of these heads at a pretty good price on facebook, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them if its a decent head. especially with playing basses in lower tunings (c standard area)

thanks, leo

I used a MAG for a while and never really had any complaints with it. It's a bit less flexible than the ABM series, as you would expect with a less comprehensive EQ and fewer general features, but it's pretty solid.

 

General sound is a bit darker than the other Ashdown amps I have played, which may lend itself a little to lower tunings.

 

Which version is it? There is a 300 and a 600 watt version I believe, and although Ashdown are normally pretty conservative with their ratings, I did find that the 300 watt version was a bit low output into a single 8 ohm cab. Into a 4 ohm load, both versions are pretty solid but the 600 will obviously have more headroom that may be necessary for lower tunings at volume.
