I am thinking of buying an ashdown bass combo, any suggestions out there. And how would you say these amps compare to some of the other brands: ampeg, eden, hartke, swr. I think some of those names are more focused on raw jock power rather than tonal quality and control. Anyone have one that can give me some advice?

I don't know about the combos, but I have the Mag300H head, and it rocks. I play it through an Eden cab which I'm sure helps a little but for the price, you'd be hard pressed to find a better head.

I have the ABM 500 through an eden xlt210. Awesome tone. Warm and punchy, cuts through like a mf. I'd suggest that you do not go with the ashdown speakers though. They are muddy and don't cut for shit.

I had the 12" electric blue and I thought it was great (particularly for the price I paid). I only used it for practice but it had plenty of features, decent sound quality and tone shaping. Just a little too big for the studio apt.

i purchased the ashdown fallen angel 60 guitar amp, and it sounds awesome on bass! which is not that suprising....espically when i've detuned the strings on my guitars a few steps, and it still sounds suprisingly tight and heavy. it's not flabby like other amps.
