bassbiscuits Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Hello, I’ve got a load of Markbass kit but have fallen in love with the sound of an Ashdown ABM Evo II head that’s in the rehearsal room we use. I want to see if I can borrow it to try through my MB cabs. I’m aware it might be a bit like mixing Silk Cut and Marlboro as they are aiming at rather different sounds. Anyone else tried an Ashdown head through Markbass cabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Why not take your MB cabs to a rehearsal? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

police squad Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I happily run my Ashdown RM500 evo II through a Markbass club 1x15. sounds good to me, for bigger gigs I add a MB 2x10 for more spread. I also have an Ashdown RM 4x10 that I use. I'm really not that bothered which cab I use 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_S Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I've played Markbass LM2 and LM800 heads through an Ashdown ABM410T, and I've played Ashdown ABM600, ABM1000, MiBass-550 and RM800 heads through a Markbass STD104HR. The 104HR maybe went a bit louder than the 410T before getting 'shouty', but aside from the weight I honestly didn't think there was all that much difference between them where it mattered. I also played Hartke, Mesa, GK, Orange, Peavey and Ampeg heads through that Markbass cab while I owned it, and to my ear they all sounded like what they were.
