itd probably be cheaper to maybe get the 4x10 version of the ashdown, but i dunno, i need something thas versatile enough

I reckon go for the 115 mag 300, you can pic one up for under 500 in musicmaker.

OLP

i was originally gonna get that but i was told i'd be better off with the 2x10

feylya

Depends. What sort of sound are you after?

OLP

i need something versatile, it'd mainly be used for punk and metal, but i need a nice meaty tone for blues and reggae and bit of funk, and i dont wanna have to buy a percision so...

feylya

What are you using at the moment?

OLP

a olp music man copy i got music maker

feylya

I mean amp.

OLP

oh right sorry, an epiphone studio bass 10, its not nearly load as i need it so everything i play sounds kinda distorted

feylya

Hmm, what about getting the 2x10 Ashdown for now and seeing how you get on with that. That should be fairly punchy with the 10s. Then, if you decide that you need more rumble, stick a 1x15 cab under it.

OLP

okay, that was my first choice i just wanted to get a second oppinion, i think it would be cheaper to get it off soundlive than in music maker

feylya

Well, it'll be about €500 delivered from Sounds Live so why not go into Music Maker and ask them if they'll match that?

OLP

okay, but the last few times ive been in theyve only had the 1x15 and the 4x10, but i'll go in and talk to them about it,

feylya

Can't hurt to ask.

OLP

i worked out that off sounds live it would be €520.79

i'll go into music maker at the weekend and ask them how much they sell it for

now all i need is the money...

feylya

How did you figure out it'd be €520? I came up with €495.

OLP

i went through the check out and put in the proper delivery methods and put the price in euros and got https://www.soundslive.co.uk/checkout/checkout.asp

feylya

Ah, ok. I was just using the "Delivery from £20" thing.

OLP

okay, so i'll be in town at the weekend so i'll talk to them about it

Doctor J

This is a good deal.

OLP

i wish i could get that but i dont have any money and wont for a while, if its still on sale when i have the money that'd be great

Doctor J

I'd say you could haggle it down to €400 or so too. Shame.

OLP

ah sure i'll give it a go

Doctor J

You might as well. He's been trying to sell it for about a month or so, I amazed it hasn't gone yet.

OLP

ok thanks
