As some may remember a while back I questioned the hon. members of this board on what to get for my next bass amp.
Well, today the money came (and mostly went, since I had to pay the rent too). Luckily I my payday is on Thursday.
This is what I ordered:
Ashdown MAG 414T Deep Bass Box, 4 ohm/350W, 37kg.
and
Laney RB 9 300W 4ohm, 12,5 kg.
+amp cable, two straps and some FastFret.
Can't wait to see the delivery-guy carry all this in to my apartment. 2nd floor, no elevator.
I was expecting to get more money, so what I had planned originally to include was this:

Looks like a nice setup. How much was the cab? I'm looking for something very much like that for my bass rig. I've got a Peavey T-Max amp, with no cab, and it'll push 350W at 4Ohm.

295€ @

Probably could've gotten it cheaper, but I wanted to buy everything from the same place. And the difference would've been at best 10€.

That's not bad; less than the Ampeg SVT-410HLF I was looking at and around the price of the Traynor 210x115 I was considering.

Solid setup. That'll bring the noise and no mistake

That's exactly why I got it. Ashdowns seem pretty solid to me. And the one I got shouldn't even have the blue speakers, which is good in my book. And as you probably know, "everything is made in China yada yada".
Ashdown was started by a guy who used to work at Trace Elliot (when it was still good). Hopefully everything gets here intact and safe.

Yeah, I've read pretty much nothing but good stuff about Ashdown.

I would have plumped for an Ashdown head, but that's mainly because I'm a fanboy. I've used that Laney head before, it's mighty fine!

I haven't played an RB9, but an RB5 combo is my favourite bass amp I've ever played through!

nice dude. I've heard nothing but good things about both ashdown and laney. I've never played either myself though.
