For sale is my Ashdown RM500 Evo II Bass head, only used at home for practice and a few gigs as a backup amp. A compact and lightweight amp solution with enough balls for most gigs. All works as it should except the headphone output which has never worked since I bought it from new. Just so you know, sometimes in transit you may inadvertently press the headphone button in and then on the gig don't get any sound output. Foxed me for a while first time I tried using it on a gig but just press the switch out and all is good. Don't know if it's just this one but when pressing the headphone button in I just get noise and nothing in headphones, it's not something I want to use anyway so never got it looked at. Amp is all good other than that, blue mute light works. Selling at a sensible price because of the headphone output issue but don't let that put you off, it's all good. cheapest I can see new is £459. Try out and collection in Poole, Dorset or can post in a well protected box at cost. Thanks. blurb: Now in its second evolution is the RM-500. The 500-watt power section of the RM500 EVO has been developed to maintain a deep low end, defined mids and transient highs delivering its output into a 4-ohm load. Ashdown Rootmaster heads are the perfect choice for working bassists looking for power and features without the weight. The Rootmaster EVO series’ pre amp now includes a passive and active input jack socket for use with high and low output instruments, this sets a clear signal path to the input control enabling you to fine tune your input level using the trademark Ashdown VU meter. With the signal at its optimal level, you then hit the rich features designed enhance your tone, such as the shape button, 5-band EQ and on-board compressor. The drive control, as always delivers a delectable valve emulated over-drive, whilst the sub harmonic controls add further fatness to your tone - both can be foot-switched via an FS 2 footswitch (sold separately). Rootmaster EVO heads also feature an upgraded power section plus a handy mute button. What’s even cooler is when switched to mute, the trademark Ashdown Engineering VU meter changes from orange to cool blue – creating the perfect on stage mood lighting between sets.

probably a bit optimistic on original price 🤔, reduced.

I have played this and it is by far the best 5'er ever (only my opinion). So comfortable and lush in all departments.

For Sale, Sandberg California TM2 5 string Hard Core Aged in Roquefort Blue. It came with the standard Delano pick ups which I found a bit bright so is currently fitted with Black Labels. The Delanos are included in the sale if you want to switch them back. Active/passive. Fretted Maple fingerboard with no dots. 34" scale. Weight 4kg. Sandberg padded bag included. A beautiful instrument which I may regret selling but have something else lined up. Price from Sandberg would be around the £2400 and a long wait so this is a huge saving. Thanks.

Up for sale, ASHDOWN CL-310-DH, 3x10 + dual horn Speaker Cab. 450 watts at 8 Ohms. Manufactured in a Guy Pratt inspired retro WEM PA column style giving a great small footprint solution to tight stages and Drummers insisting on the Double BD kit! I'll regret selling it as I've done many tight gigs with this and the tilt back handle and wheels make it so easy to get in and out of venues. All working as it should, very good condition apart from slight scuffing at the bottom rear where it caught on a step, handy side carry handle too. I have the original box which I use as a cover. Nearly £600 new so a huge saving at £350. Collection and try out in Poole, Dorset. https://ashdownmusic.com/collections/cabinets/products/cl-310-dh Taking inspiration from the PA cabinets of yesteryear the CL-310-DH is a very unique and special cabinet for bass guitar. Perfect for use on stages where space is at a premium this 8 Ohm cabinet benefits from a tiny on stage footprint producing deep yet articulate bass tones with great dispersion and clarity. Internally the cabinet is split into 2 parts. The first being a sealed chamber that contains the first 10" speaker which produces punchy and focused bass tones with increased transient response. The second chamber is rear ported and contains the remaining two 10" speakers. The porting allows extended bass response resulting in more low end rumble and overall deeper bass. The two chambers and three 10" speakers combined with the dual high frequency horns(3 way adjustable) mean this cabinet can handle 450 watts of bass power and produces huge yet highly articulate bass tones that belie it's relatively small size. Transportation is a breeze with inbuilt heavy duty rear wheels and a chunky metal grab handle plus a useful side grab handle. Hard wearing bronco tolex covering and metal corners mean this cabinet will continue to look great for years to come. The classic red grill cloth with white piping completes the vintage look as well as protecting those all important speakers.

Ashdown FS-4 Footswitch Controller. New in box, opened but never used. Thanks. postage £5.

Hartke HA5500 Bass Head, an awesome loud head only used occasionally as a back up amp, in excellent condition and working order.

Collection/try out in Poole, Dorset or possible meet up/delivery. 500 Watts of power at 4 ohms Tube and solid state preamp sections Passive and active input sections Bass, treble, and contour controls 10-band graphic EQ Variable compression XLR direct out Effects loop Hartke blurb: Found on stages all over the world, the Hartke HA5500 bass amplifier is back in classic black. Yet, it retains all the same rock-solid performance and features as the original that have made it one of the most popular bass amplifiers of all time.

Featuring two pre-amp input knobs for custom blending of tube and solid state tone and a ten-band graphic EQ, the HA5500 is ideal for the player who wants plenty of power and control. But we don't stop there. A dedicated preset button allows you to set a equalization curve and two fully adjustable contour knobs provide even more shaping of your distinctive sound.

Two independent inputs accommodate both passive and active bass guitars. LEDs show you the settings of the graphic equalizer in low-light environments as well as a two-color LED that continuously shows the status of the compression circuitry in response to your playing.Electronically balanced direct output provides routing signal to professional mixing consoles for both live performance and recording environments. A ground lift switch helps prevent hum or buzz from entering the signal, and a pre/post switch allows the direct signal to be derived either before or after the amp EQ section.With all the features you need for complete tonal control, along with ample power and rugged design, the HA5500 will ensure complete bass euphoria no matter what kind of music you play.
