I did a little searching and could not find any thread(s) talking about this cool new Ashen Amps bass head, the APG 700.4. I have one in for review in Bass Gear Magazine, and I just took it to its first gig, where it performed quite well. Definitely has plenty of volume on tap, and while the tone stack is a bit on the mysterious side (and Ashen does not have a manual, or documentation on the frequency centers just yet), I was able to find some great tones fairly easily (esp. once I realized that the Blend knob is a midrange control).
With the killer green birdseye enclosure, I decided to pair it up with a Trace Elliot 2x12 (also in for review, and also excellent!), though at practice, I also spent some time playing it through the Bergantino NXT-212SE, which was also a great matchup.
A few things to note. It does not appear to have a mute function (I use a tuner pedal, so it doesn't really matter to me), and the speaker out is a Speakon, only (again, not an issue for me).
This thing really does sound lovely, though. I'm curious if any of you have had experience with this product or the Ashen brand.
