I'm not sure that I could describe the difference between the two...I just like the "rawness" of the Ashdown MAG Series.

I had the MAG 300-115 Combo earlier this year, and it just had a BIG sound to it...what some have called the "British Sound" (like from the 70's; think Sabbath and Laney bass amps). That's as close a description as I can come up with.

Brit. sound explains it just fine thanks.

Shamus63,

It's just not RIGHT!! And YOU of all people! Somewhere on that stage we need to see an AMPEG logo, anywhere - even if it's on your T-shirt Shamus63.

You know as well as I do it just wouldn't feel right without it. How can you sleep at night?? We owe our lives to that company!!

Please dedicate (right now) your Christmas bonus to Ampeg and we'll call it even! :D :D :D

I sleep just fine...unless I'm anticipating placing an order the next day! Placed my order at 4:22 a.m., then crashed hard for the next 2.5 hours! :D

Oh, and the Christmas bonus...that belongs to VBTC for my new B4! :D

Just placed the order for my new Ashdown MAG-300R bass head...Monday delivery.

Through my SWR Henry 8x8, it should sound pretty damn good! :D

I've played the MAG 300 and while the tone was really good the power section ran out of gas pretty quick. I suspect you will eventually get around to pairing that Henry up with a GK head ;)

Considering that the Peavey I was running through the Henry was only 200w @ 4ohms, and didn't have to crank the gain or master beyond 12:00, I'm not too worried about running out of gas...

...now the cost to run my Dodge Dakota is a different story! :D
