    Is the Ashdown ABM 810 cabinet logo easily removable and replaceable without damaging?

    This is the model with the large winged logo across the top center. From pictures it looks like it is built into the grill itself, but I'm hopeful that's not the case.

    Any help / advice you can provide would be appreciated.

    My ABM 410 has the logo riveted on there. Looks pretty difficult to remove. I've wanted to take it off for a while.

    No, it is not easily removable. It is installed with a rivet. Also, if you did remove it, the area under the logo will not match the rest of the grill... I think it is solid under where the logo is.

    I put replacement grills on my ABM 15s when I had them. I think I ordered from parts express.

    Yes it is. It's held on with some screws. What's wrong with the logo??

    Its set in (kind of inlayed) an indented shape of the wings logo. So If you did manage to get it off, you would see a wings shape in the metal. Im assuming its a newer ABM with the full wings on it though.

    I do a GNR tribute show and Duff McKagan never played an Ashdown. I'm doing a fly-in where an Ashdown backline is provided and since the show is going to be video'd, I don't want to have that logo haunting my promo kit for the next couple of years :)

    It may be silly to some, but the authenticity is appreciated by certain talent buyers.

    just pull the grill off for the show,,, or pull it off, and flip it around backwards, they you will have the grill, but no logo.

    Just be prepared for A LOT of screws. In my little 115 cab I bet there were like 16 screws... I bet there are a lot more than that on an 810

    Ah I see! Makes sense now!

    I've seen many people just tape over logos with black gaffa tape or pvc tape when the gear they are using isn't from their endorsed brand.
