Anyone actually TRIED an Ashdown Drophead 200 yet?

#2
Yup, it sounded very nice: warm, rich, round-but-with-clarity, ballsy, decent high end extension...

It's hard to really get a grip on things just from playing it at NAMM, but Ashdown is supposed to send us a Drophead 200 combo for review, so at some point, I should have a whole lot more to pass on. :cool:

lots of other pretentious words you probably use at work...

How BIG was it compared to an old Ampeg B15S? I know the 30 watt drop head has a smaller cabinet. And these descriptors you are using pertain to the 200 watt combo with it's own speaker?

Looking for something retro to go with my upcoming Fender Steve Bailey 6....

Thanks Tom, and hope you and the clan are well.

Cheers,
Cameron

It is larger (at least wider) and heavier than a B-15, and yes, my comments were in regard to the Drophead 200 combo, though we did also hear the head through a 4x12, and that was glorious! :bassist: :bassist: :bassist: :cool:

as much as i like fliptops, i don't know that the idea of flipping a 200w tube head is very appealing to me when even flipping a 25w can be a bit of a pain.

This is quite appealing,
but the only pricetag i could find for it said 2500.00 canadian mula,
Which is Unappealing to me-- hopefully they come a little closer to 2 g's - cuz otherwise i imagine most people will just save themselves a few hundred and go for a tried and true Peggy
