I have Just bought a CTM-100 from a member of this forum, I have been running on a Ashdown Mi2.0 for the past two years, which is a superb little compact amp, it has served me well and will continue to be my back up head. The guitarist in my band have both changed to all valve amps, so I felt that I should do the same, for prosperity and for the age old reason of "Why the Funk not".
I did allot of research into watts, size, cost. I have always been attracted to the "little Bastard", but never pulled the trigger due to not being sure if it would be fit for purpose - after further research I settled on the CTM series, first buying a CTM-15 for recording and for a practice amp, I was blown away by that little thing, and I have used it at a couple of small acoustic gigs. The CTM-15 did not have enough beans for a full band, so I went to PMT to look at the CTM-30, at the cost of £399 it was within my price range, while I was in PMT they had a CTM-300 set up so I plugged in and ooooo boy I fell in love. Power, tone, growl and style. The CTM-300 was completely out of my price range, so i hunted the internet and found a CTM-100 for sale on Bass chat. I immediately snapped the sellers hand off.
Once I got the amp (at 10:30pm on a Saturday night after a Sisters of Mercy gig) I rushed to my practice space to plug in and turn up, I was not disappointed in my purchase. I am running the amp through an Ashdown EVO410 cab, slowly eased the volume to 11 o'clock and the Gain to 9 o'clock, strummed the low B (5 string player) and I had to take a step back, because of the air this thing pushes. After three hours of playing and adjusting, I know in my heart of hearts i have found the amp that will be with me till arthritis sets in.
Hell of an amp, I can not recommend it enough.
