    Been gigging this exact rig for about 2 years now. Wouldn't use anything else. I love it. Even gigging pubs I have my output just over half way, so powerful!

    Mark Gooday is one of the bass amp worlds greatest!

    I really like Ashdown. I just wish players like this guy would turn down that treble. It's too much, sir.

      Agreed - a bass head demo with a bass player that plays the most obnoxiously treble bass possible. Got no idea how the amp actually sounds.

    What's deal with using an octave with bass lately? It's a stupid idea.

    Hi, I've bought a abm 500 evo II with 600W 4x10 cab. now I want to connect another 1x15 300W to my amp. but the 15"cab doesn't have a parallel output, and I have only 1 speakon out & 1 jack output from the amp. How can I connect the 2 cabs in parallel? greetz

    Ashdown or Gallien-Krueger?

  • @chatolars

    Can I use this with a guitar 2x12cabinet ? Or straight into a speaker simulator or even Direct into my audio interface ?

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  Před 5 lety

      Hey, Lars. Thanks so much for commenting. While you can use the DI out on these straight into a mic input, I would not recommend running this through a guitar cabinet. The speakers in guitar cabs, as opposed to bass cabs, are often voiced to not extend as low into the frequency spectrum, and do have a lower wattage than most bass speaker cabinets.

    Hi. Just bought a second hand ABM EVO II 500 - planning to use it with my Trace Eliot 4 x10H cab and 1 x 15 cab. Is that ok?

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  Před 3 lety

      Hello! Yes, that should be fine.
      Thanks for the interest!

      +JauqoIIIX - It'd be nice if you let us know what amp you were using.

    • @JauqoIIIX
      @JauqoIIIX Před 7 lety

      In the video I'm using the Ashdown ABM EVO III 550 watts head.

  • @GioDez91
    @GioDez91 Před 10 lety

    the combo version with this head has 8 ohm so will have less watts than 575??

    • @UncommonSense.
      @UncommonSense. Před 2 lety

      Indeed it does, you have to add another 8ohm cab to get that 575w

  • @swanker63
    @swanker63 Před 3 lety

    Can I use this head with an 8 ohm 410 Rumble cabinet?

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  Před 3 lety

      Hi! Thanks for your message, hope you're well and safe.
      Minimum load for the head is 4 Ohms, so yes, this is a safe combination.
      Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!

    Anyone using this amp with ampeg svt classic 410he?

  • @chipshot4455
    @chipshot4455 Před 10 lety +1

    In the very beginning I thought he was trying to play a funky Fresh Garbage by Spirit...but no.

  • @nathanvleugels1
    @nathanvleugels1 Před 9 lety +26

    a bit of a useless representation to a lot of bassists if you only show the sound with slapping...
    except a little tune in the end

    • @SeanMarsh
      @SeanMarsh Před 9 lety +12

      Kinda like when guitarists just solo and show off in demos. Kinda pointless hey.

  • @werebass1485
    @werebass1485 Před 5 lety +6

    I want power in my bass amp, not that choppy treble driven garbage

  • @gunofapreacherman1340
    @gunofapreacherman1340 Před 5 lety +10

    Would sound better with a proper bass player.

  • @N2F1
    @N2F1 Před 9 lety +19

    Good Gawd! Could you maybe have him actually play some bass "notes" for a couple of minutes? Instead of whatever it is that this guy is doing? You know, like the bassists that you mention that use the stuff?
    Sheesh! That is one annoying clip.

  • @BreakupBass
    @BreakupBass Před 10 lety +1

    a gk 800rb still kills this

  • @diamondandkitty4657

    great but expensive and guess macca got it for free

  • @gregg4164
    @gregg4164 Před 11 lety +4

    What is with all the crap slap playing. Not everyone wants to hear that style. You cannot get an accurate feel for the sound of any amp with that technique. Any amp can sound like that with that style of play.

    but why sliders on some EQ and knobs on the others?

  • @organeu
    @organeu Před 10 lety

    Very good amp however built in china. I think sound demo would be rather better with state of the art Jazz Bass Fender or Music Man Stingray. The references.

    • @shakeAbooty88
      @shakeAbooty88 Před 7 lety +1

      Get with it. The stuff made in China today is as good as anything made anywhere.

    • @craigzinga
      @craigzinga Před 7 lety

      shakeAbooty88
      Agreed. I've got a GK 4x10 MBX cab made in China and it kicks. Run my Ashdown head through it. I also heard somewhere that Chinese production is raising in cost because the new generation doesn't actually want to become factory workers. Uh oh

      @rwiseman76 Před rokem +1

      You don't hear anything "better" using a Speakon jack. Cable is cable, no matter what jack you use or how much power you're pushing. Get it straight, fool.

  • @DamnDealDone

    The octaver is a pointless gimmick that has no value.

    Dont talk so much!, you kill your own product, rather love to hear it in action.
