Ashdown RM112T Opinions?

[Bleat]

Hello,

 

I've been having a look around for potential lightweight bass cabs to use with my acoustic bass. I haven't decided on amplifier as of yet, but most likely I would be looking at around 500watts.

 

Anyway, I discovered these Ashdown 112T cabs which I think may be a good option. They seem well priced, decent handling power and above all lightweight which has now become a priority.

I would be looking to get 2 cabs so I would have a versatile, compact but capable rig to also use with electric bass if needed. Ashdown has never really been on my bass gear radar, so any user experience / opinions would be great. Is there anything else out there in the same price range as these worth having a look at ? I'm not interested in buying used cabs btw.

 

Cheers

The only downside to these - the earlier ones, maybe the current ones are ok - is the tweeters weren’t particularly good, and could sometimes rattle with notes lower than low E. But it’s a cheap easy job to swap them out (I got Ashdown to do mine( and then you have a nice sounding light portable cab for not much money.

They were low cost cabs and average quality at best. I would look at Fender Rumble v3 cabs as a better product and low price

If you can step up further then MarkBass MB58R series are very light and sound great
