Here's a shot of my resurrected AMB 500 Evo II 210 combo. Soldano did the tolex and screen cover.

I'd been using an SVT 4 Pro/ 410 HLF rig for a few years and had forgotten just how good this amp sounds. It's heavy and a bit awkward to move around, but the tone makes it all worthwhile.

Nice is that the abm cab just with the black drivers instead? How does it sound and how much volume does it have (interested as deciding on new amp soon) :)

It is a Classic Series 410H (with the botton chamber) with a black grill cloth- I bought it and it was supposed to be made in the USA but I got a UK one.
It has Eminence Drivers in it. I can look and see which ones.

It also came with a little gold British flag at the bottom.But I took it off because I didn't like it.

When the fine folks from Ashdown were in house about a month ago they said that they were starting to ship a new version of the ABM500EVOIII that would allow you to remove the head from the headcase and rack it. I'm curious if yours is made that way?

I can look and see and let you know. I was debating getting the RC one but decided to to the standard because I didn't want to polish the chrome.
I bought the head from sweetwater and the box said demo on it.
I checked the serial number and the skin grain from the recent video featuring Jauqo and Mark Gooday. and mine matches perfectly. So I was pretty excited to find that out! :)


I bought a MAG300 first and was going to work my way and save for ABM. My MAG300 blew up last week (my fault not ashdowns) so I went ahead and rushed my new ABM. The difference is amazing.

It that a new cabinet or an old discontinued one? Can't find it on the website. Btw it looks really cool!!!:) 8 or 4ohm?

8ohm. and handmade. Its not on the official site, but it is on Guitar Center's website I think, and new on eBay.They have a really great deal on them right now too. I bought it as a USA one but got a UK. I was not too worried about it though.

I didn't want to open it up but this is what I found.
You see two drilled holes there on the side.

I just played my MAG 600 through 2 Peavey TVX 410s today at a festival gig. :bassist:

I absolutely love this amps tone and the cabs carried it out really well.

Unfortunately the soundguy didn't tell us our stage sound was too loud. We only heard it after the show. :scowl:
