    This is a great sounding combo with lovely tone, mass loads of head room and in good condition, I'm very sorry to be having to sell it. Unfortunately though, due to the lack of a car and living in a small Uni room I needed lighter gear and I can't afford to hold onto this and the new stuff. The one I'm selling is the first model and as such doesn't have the compressor of the Evo II's (as shown on the link below) as far as I can tell though all the other info is the same. The amp is missing the cover of one button (which can still be used) and has a slight hiss when turning up the treble (although I've noticed this in all the MAG and AMB models I've used). Apart from that, the combo has a very versatile 5 band eq, fabulous bottom end and more volume than any one who values their hearing would want to use. I'm selling for £350 and can't ship so pick up from Manchester only I'm afraid. If anyone wants to try before buying then that's fine by me.

    Just to add even more variety to the collection of reviews this amp is gathering I thought I'd add my two cents... First off I'm playing a Fender Jaguar into the MiBass 550 and that into a lovely Midget T. As far as I'm concerned the sound is the best I've ever got. It's not even comparable to the majority of set ups I've used; the MiBass also beats the MAG 600 (the MAG series being, in my opinion, brilliant when you get one that works as it should) which I was going to play into the Midget. I made the switch as the MAG 600 came with added fault and, through some kind of miracle, I found a new MiBass 550 for merely £330 and thought that it would be worth a try. I must agree that the VU is too small, and also add that the controls can be (although they are well weighted) a little close together; however, it has all the versatility most bassist ever seem to need and an excellent range of outputs on the back (the DI output is in my opinion a must!). To be blunt, this amp is summed up by two statements: 1) It looks a little silly (although I'm sure some love the look) 2) It drops almost all weight without compromising amazing tone and volume (it can even do earthshaking through my Midget!) The tone and power behind this amp really is brilliant; through the Midget T the MiBass delivers proper, full on, punchy bass and also a superb high end. The amp also stands out very well in a mix and, in my only test so far with it in a band situation, delivers all the volume needed for any gig without a PA. This is the lightweight amp Ashdown always should have made and what's more, it punches well above it's weight. If your considering it, or even just curious, my advice would be to try one and just see it in action. I can finally carry my gear to a gig on my own without a car and still deliver like I've got my old 4x10 behind me!

    Hey, would any owners of a barefaced Midget T in Manchester possibly put up with me trying it out for half an hour or so? I'm really interested in them, but I'd like to try before I free up the money to buy one. Cheers

    Hey, do any of you barefaced users happen to be in Manchester? I'd really like to try out a Midget T if anyone would put up with me doing so for half an hour or so. Cheers.

    Hey, I'm thinking of purchasing a BF Midget T sometime soon, but I'd really like to give one a try first. Is there anyone in the Manchester area who'd put up with me coming round and trying the Midget T? Cheers
