Ashdown 220 Touring 112 bass combo

[Mattbass97]

I'm thinking of purchasing this, any opinions or experiences?

Also if you had to choose between this amp and a Marshall MB4210 what one would you choose and why?

The volume difference isn't a problem for me really just sound quality is what im looking for between these too amps

thanks

If it's a sound preference, you'll need to play them both to choose.

Problem is that I can't play the Ashdown

Ashdown says that all of Dual Tube series amps and combos have same preamp, so the 220 Touring has exactly same pre as 550 Spyder. They have a different poweramp, but Ashdown claims that it makes no difference to the sound. There is a nice video of Spyder 550 on youtube, so judge for yourself. I´d definitelly take the Ashdown. I´m considering a 330 Touring as my next purchase...

exactly the same dilemma! was going to buy up the marshall but to be honest, sound quality is most important. never played a tube amp before tho, is it quite significantly quieter?
