Ashdown MAG410 or Marshall MBC410?

[dudeonthebass]

Desperatley need to buy my own rig, as i hate having to borrow amps and cabs

What are your thoughts on both the cabs?

Which ones better?

Is the extra power on the marshall cab worth the cut in cost compared to Ashdown ?

I've used both, and both are good cabs considering the low cost. However, they are budget cabs and they don't compare to more expensive ones. The Ashdown is made of chipboard and the Marshall is MDF. I like the sound of the Ashdown better, but that's just personal preferences, you might like the Marshall better. Go try them out.

The Marshall is also a bit heavier, like 15 lbs or so.

If you have a solid state amp and only will use one cab, you will get more power from the amp with the Marshall since it is a 4 ohm cab.

I think Ashdown MAG series cabs are really good for the price (I own a 2x10"). That would be my pick.

I'v never played a Marshall bass amp I liked, they lack definition and get drowned in the mix IME.
