Dropped mine on the patio the other week due to similar balancing act, lightweight frames = concrete the winner. There goes my optical claim for the year ...

Same 😖 With the amazing jam and the anxiety it was like some kind of BDSM session

They're only a quid from the Poundland so you can sleep tonight! 😂

And the new ampeg rocket series

Ashdown sounds clearer

I feel like you have to have a 15 not so much for volume as for presence.

do you happen to own the studio 15? just wondering if it would be good for bar gigs?

@@chrisb48907 I had one and sent it back. Nice tone but too much cab rumble.

@@TheBassfresh what do you mean rumble? It's a 15" speaker so the low end will be greater and will rumble more wont it?

andon5150 he doesn’t live in England - he’s based in Taiwan AFAIK.

@@stereoroid Oh I see, I said it because Social Blade lists his channel based in Great Britain (ranked 91th in the UK currently). Anyway, if Andertons can bring him to the shop it surely will be a unique event.

That won't work, they don't use the Davie bag of video effects

Davie did make a brief cameo on the channel in one of the NAMM 2018 videos about Chowny basses... Lee did say they've tried to get him on, so who knows...

The Fender Rumble series are also definitely lightweight.

@@alexanderharmer9447 Yes, but looking at the big boys the Ashdown 15 has 300w and weights 11,2 kgs (incredible)....whereas the Rumble 200 has less power and weights 15,5 kgs. those 4,3 kgs make a big difference.

Buy from Thomann, I'm looking at the Studio 15 which Anderton retail at £375, Thomann at £299, no brainer really. Never had any problems with Thomann either

The 100w 12" models are a toss-up, but when looking at 15" models, the Rumble 200 weighs 10 pounds more and has 100w less for slightly less money. As long as the tone is what you need, this Ashdown is the one to get (in the 15").

@@NukePooch1 it doesnt have 100w it outputs 100w. A 100w with a 95db effiecient driver(speaker) will be just as loud than a 200w 92db unit. And a 400w amp will be equally loud with a 88/89db driver.

yes I'd love to see more videos about the mini studio rig from Ash, it looks very very nice but I'm not sure why only 250W which could be at 4 ohm or prob less at 8ohms. I woud've considered it more if it woud have a bit more power.

Yea there is really only ONE video out there, and its the one from Ashdown's own website, and they have it bogged down with a drum/background music track which doesn't really do much for showing off the Amp itself. As for the 250w into 4ohms.. their website specifically states its 250w at 4ohms "minimum" .. but it also has a second Speaker Out, on the back... so you can apparently plug a second Cab into it and that makes me wonder what it'll do with that... as the specs on the website aren't specific about it.... the backside of the Ampeg Micro's Head also has two speaker outs, and it states that its 160w into 8ohm, and 200w into 4ohm.

@@naz7525yeah it’s weird I think that it’s not full 250W. All of their amps are rated at lower wattage with the internal speakers. The only one that is 4ohm at 300wats it’s the studio 15”

...unfortunately,I've had this "scary " experience with my First ORANGE amp. Been wanting one of these as they have a great reputation, been around for years,used by some of the music worlds elite,and of course..they're bright Orange in colour!!! Ok? ...No.Not ok. The day I bought it AND used it on that night's gig,after 3 songs it just fell onto its ass, darted and spluttered like someone with an attack of " the runs" sitting on the loo( "loo" is our name ( UK and Aussie people) for the toilet. I couldn't fix it and had to do the rest of the gig through the PA system. Took it back to dealer....not a problem. Played beautifully. Next gig..same story. Fart, splutter,etc. Back to dealer..no problem. It was cursed! Used the same cables,bass,etc at shop and no issue. Next gig.....you guessed it....AAAGGGHHHH!!! Back to dealer,which was very far from my place,so not easy to do every weekend as it would take my whole Saturday to go to the dealer and home. Now, the punchline. As time went on,the warranty expired,it was now 3 years since purchase,and it simply played well at the dealer.( yes..I tried the amp at different locations,same cable,same bass etc...same story!!!). Then, ORANGE dropped their dealership from AUSTRALIA, so then I had no ORANGE Agent hear in Australia, and so nowhere and no one to consult with. Its still sitting in my loungers,waiting to be fixed. Guess who's never buying an ORANGE bass amp again?

Ashdown unreliable, I've been playing bass for 2 decades and that's the first time I've heard that 😮

'"way TOO tiny" 🤔

Eh? They’re both actual real Brits
