1. I bought one and then had all sorts of bother - I wouldn't do it if I were you,

2. You are correct - to get the full power quoted you will need 2 4ohm cabs rated at 250w minimum (they say you're supposed to add 25% above the rated amp output so that would make it 312.5w minimum in theory but I don't know how rigidly you have to stick to that - depends on how much you value the drivers in your cabs!) - This really does limit your options on cab configurations.

3. Mine suffered from a known cheap board situation which caused it to blow up a lot, yes it is pretty but it runs REALLY hot - after mine blew the first time I looked it up and loads of people have had the same problem - I'm gutted cos I really wanted this thing to be as good as it is on paper.

4. Ashdown have pretty much removed support for this model now - and Sound Control now pretty much defunct apart from a couple of their original stores, are offloading them cheap as Ashdown prepare the release of new replacement models.

5. A lot of people have complained about unacceptable noise levels from this model - not something you would usually expect from an Ashdown, irrespective of it's great price.

All in all it was a great looking white elephant

See you there

we are from aberdeen, we played the easter party at kef on friday past, and we sound like a whole bunch of different stuff, i'll mail you some mp3's if that'll help, else we'll be submitting some to AUBL site shortly (as in next 72hours kinda, when i find our guitarist), some nice person wrote a brief review in the feedback forum as well

hey are you sill looking for people? Ghost of Bongo would be up for it if you are...

just goes to prove just how much a matter of preference it is i guess, i prefer the warmer tones, so i went with six strings, but on my bass

or maybe just a little more practice is all

<<!!criinge!!>> i'm gonna have to keep aspiring to one day be a chronically-retarded-insatiable-wanker!

And I was wondering, if at the start of a sentence, should the word not be Violoncello?

err...my bass has six strings, which=not for retards, it's also tuned differently to a lead guitar, none of my lead guitar friends can play it, and i can, but i don't think they are retards.

Giving things more texture is just one of the million things you can do with a bass or any other instrument THAT YOU PLAY WELL.

Otherwise you're just giving a potentially decent piece of music a disease, which i reckon is the net product of bringing that kind of attitude (that brought this thread about in the first) to music as a whole, it makes us all sad people in the end

i'm hungry

i know a guy called trevor fish, i wan't that name, it makes me smile all stoopid
