No , I thought I was getting that one but they did me an amazing deal on a new one .I wish I had this amp years ago .

I popped into Ashdown yesterday to buy a CTM 100 & they repaired my ABM1000 & serviced my LB550 while I waited. They gave me a tour & I can't believe how much time Mark , Dan & the team gave me .They even tried to fix the clutch on my Van .lol. I love this company for loads of reasons , They take great pride in what they do & over the years they actually listen to the customer & act upon it . I think what ever make you use now you should A/B it against an Ashdoown .

I need to send some basses to the Gallery in Camden , looking for recommendations .Thanks .

You should hear the fans on my ABM1000 , Sounds like you have a more powerful fan than required , Speak to Dave Green at Ashdown , They'll probably swap it .

The CTM will sit on top but it would just look strange , In may consider as different cab .

I've been told that amps like the little stubby & LB at 30W won't cut it ?

Nothing that will sit on top of a Ashdown 310 .

Is there such a thing as a small valve amp powerful enough for topical pub gigs ? I guess around 100w . I don't it's possible but worth asking .

Is that enough for a pub gig or is that for a monitor?

If you want a one cab solution Ashdown do a 2x12rm cab well ported & only weighs 40lbs .

I've had ,a barefaced super 12t & later 2 x super compacts , I switched to 2 x 12" RM , Ashdown did upgrade the speakers to sica 700w for me as I was using a 1000w ABM head . I prefer the sound ,I'm considering getting the new 2x 12" RM cab for a one trip to the van solution ,it looks similar to a super 12t but with better handles .Oh & it's considerably cheaper .

Interesting comment , I've had loads of makes & I've love them & the support has been second to none even when it's been my fault for causing the only fault I've had in in 18 years .

TC 250 just a toy definitely not 250 watts & it caught fire .

I have one ,The bottom two speakers are ported & the top one is sealed ,I find it really easy to pull around , My RM 2 sits well on top ,My ABM also very stable sat on top but can look a bit odd / different ,I decide if I like it or not ,But the sound is fantastic ,I'm 6ft3 & it's the best set up I've had for near side monitoring , Personally I like a one cab solution for easy setting up & one less trip to the van ,I find it a lot easier to move than my old barefaced super 12t ,that was a lot lighter but I found it a lot more awkward to due to the handles & having to bend over if trying to use the wheels .
