zZounds Gear Experts Say...

4 X 10 in. Ashdown BlueLine drivers with an HF tweeter in a tuned plywood cabinet.

Overview

The ABM 414T is a 600 watt 4 Ohm bass cabinet combining 4 X 10 in. Ashdown BlueLine drivers with an HF tweeter in a precision tuned plywood cabinet. The cabinet is constructed from high-grade birch ply with properly screwed and glued joints, protected by a tough, buffalo leather cloth covering and chromed metal corners. Special Ashdown-designed metal handles are used in favor of inferior flip handles which can rattle after years of use. Ashdown BlueLine speakers are specially developed to achieve a superb balance of power, transparency and deep, controlled low end, without sacrificing any of the mid-band attack and high-end brightness that are so important in a modern bass sound.

I'll never switch to any other cab, I'll use this (or other ABM414T's) until I cant play another note ---hopefully when I'm 90+ years old.

Sound
This cabinet is the most incredible cab I have ever heard--crystal clear. The notes ring with a brilliance that is unmatched by any other cabinet and I have tried many Peavey/Carvin/Fender/and Gallien-Krueger. I'm in heaven when I play through this cabinet, I'll never use any other cabinet except this Ashdown ABM414T (and mine was a B-Stock item but plays and looks flawless).

Features
All the features of this cab worked extremely well, the tweeter (horn) switch allowed for an incredibly versitile sound from zero highs to an almost extreme amount, but with amazing clarity and zero hiss that I have heard on other horns.

Ease of Use
Perfection is easy to find on this cabinet, just set your sound and play.

Quality
Even though I purchased a B- stock, the flaw was easy to fix on my own, the grill cushion on the inside next to the speaker was loose and hanging down. It took me 5 minutes and I had a perfect cabinet -----well worth the savings of hundreds of dollars.

Value
Completely worth the money, If you want the best sound for your instrument this is the only cabinet you will ever need.

Manufacturer Support
I haven't used the tech support yet, why complain… read more when this cab is flawless.

The Wow Factor
It is a stunning cabinet to look at, but the weight is amazingly heavy for the size, but that's what friends are for to help carry all the gear. (HE HE HE HE HE)
