ashdown Mag 810 Deep vs Hartke 215XL

Sign in to disble this ad
hey people, how´s it hanging?

so, here is the deal. i´m a new proud owner of the orange terror bass 500. now i need a new cab. but i don´t really know which one to get.
these are the two possibilities:

- ashdown MAG 810 deep
- Hartke 215 XL

here a few facts. i play in a stoner rock band, filled with a bit of doom. we got two guitars, and my on the bass of course. my equipment:
ibanez eda > tuner > bassballs > BBmuff > terror bass > ???
the bass is tuned to drop D

so, what cab should i get? anyone owns any of those cabs? and how do they sound? help would be really appreciated.

ps. those two cabs kinda cost the same. i don´t need ampeg or markbass recommendations. they are out of my price league.

thanks in advance..

Yeah, those XL series are pretty underwhelming.

For the price you paying i think the Ashdown 8x10 have more to offer until you have enough money to get something better. A good 2x15 is very good but i won't play any cheap 2x15.

Should get decent tone and enough volume from the Ashdown.

A used Mesa Deisel 215 could be had for around $400. Great cab, at twice the price. Otherwise, I'd choose the Ashdown 810 over the Hartke 215.
