Ashdown MAG300 settings?

I have an older Mag 200 115 combo and I generally run it flat without the bass octave boost and use the preamp and pickups on my bass to vary the tone. Sometimes I will cut the bass a little (about 10 to 10:30). However, I have more flexibility with the Highlander preamp in my Rick Turner Electroline PMM than most basses, so I may not be the best example. Play with the amp and see what you like.

 

I've never played punk, so I can't help with that, but I do like to slap alot. My amp settings are:

Bass - 1:00
220 Hz - 1:00
Middle - 9:00
1.6 Khz - Between 4 and 5:00
Treble - 2:00
No boosts, no suboctave, just the EQ.

What kind of cab are you running it into? If it has a tweeter, I would recommend playing around with it - I change mine all the time, it can really affect the sound.

Hope this helps

 

I play hard rock/metal and leave mine mostly flat, sometimes boosting the high mids a little and adding some sub-harmonics. I always kill the tweeter in my Avatar 2x12.

 

i just ordered one so i'm waiting eagerly to play around with it.

 

Bass 3:00
Low mids 3:00
Mids 12:00
Treble: 1:00
Sub Bass thing: really low
Bright off
Bass Boost off

Gain pretty low, controlled volume with Master.

I used this setup in a metal band with an SWR 1x15 and an Avatar 2x10 pro, or SWR 1x15 with Mesa Diesel 1x15. It was great, even better with sansamp. I sold my MAG and miss the colored tone of it once in a while.

 

i usually just rock the head on flat or with the internal EQ. Usually boost the mids a bit and add some bass for flavor. no deep or bright or subharmonics.
