imprinted Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 look at smaller ashdown combo's - built like tanks.laney amps are usually good value for money as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I have a Laney Harcore Max which is 120 watts and cost about 140 from Bruce Millers and it's pretty good. It has enough knobs and sliders to adjust to get my ideal sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Ashdown...the MAG range is quality and afordable. I got my 300w head on sale for 200 and it usually retails at 300. So, one of the combos should fall within your price range. If they don't there's always the electric blue range which offers even better value. Ashdown sound is great and the build quality seems just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 www.soundslive.co.uk and got the 4x10" from RnB.Also from soundslive you could get...Electric Blue 15-180 rrp 315 its 255 there.180 watt 1x15" bass comboAshdown Electric Blue bass amplification loads legendary Ashdown tone into an affordable new amp head and a pair of high-performance, high-value combos. The EB 15-180 1 x 15" combo uses a 180 Watts RMS fan-cooled fast-transient power stage, and a fully-featured bass preamplifier with inputs for both active and passive instruments, a VU style LED input level meter, 5 band EQ with Bright and Deep switches, a front panel-mounted balanced DI output for connection to a PA or recording console, an FX loop, a tuner/line output and the classic Ashdown sub-harmonic generator. A high-performance Ashdown BlueLine bass driver ensures exceptional attack, clarity and low-end performance, while an extension speaker output can be used to connect an additional cabinet for use in larger venues. The cabinet is finished in a tough, scuff-proof carpet covering with protective corners and a kick-proof metal grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 but this just looks so good at a great price aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Yeah but well above his budget. It's basically what I have but in a combo. For the same price you would probably be better buying the head and cab seperatly. Helps with transport + looks better lol. I got mine for 500 in total. There's is a new 65watt Ashdown coming out. http://www.ashdownmusic.com/news/fullstory.asp?ID=73 I am so tempted to get it for either home use or to use at practices cause it's so cute! It probably sounds great but I don't know about prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
