Im selling my Ashdown UK ABM 500 EVO Head as Ive just bought another Ashdown.
Brand new Mains transformer fitted and tested by Ashdown.
Serviced regularly.
SPEC:
The ABM 500 EVO is a 575W RMS bass amp head designed to satisfy both bass purists and tech-heads alike. Three rotary tone controls provide 20dB of cut and boost at 60Hz, 660Hz and 5kHz and are supplemented by two pairs of additional sliders, giving 15dB cut and boost at 180Hz, 340Hz, 1.3kHz, and 2.6kHz. The EQ can be switched on/off and flat/shaped by footswitch, enabling you to go from a flat fretless sound to a boosted sound with ease. A blend of solid state and dual-triode tube preamp stages can be preset and selected by footswitch, providing access to a massive range of clean, warm, and overdriven tones.
The footswitchable subharmonic generator precisely tracks the main signal and reproduces it an octave lower. A subharmonic level control lets you add just the right amount of low-end reinforcement-everything from a subtle thickening of the sound to unbridled, bone-crushing tone.
The ABM 500 EVO also features a front panel-mounted balanced direct out with pre- or post-EQ switching, a sub-bass output, tuner output, FX loop, and a line input for connecting an external sampler or sound source. Output muting cuts the signal from the direct out but leaves the tuner output live, allowing silent tuning. The power section has faster transient attack, massive headroom, and even less noise.

This started life as the powerhouse of the ABM 4 x 10 combo but had to be split due to weight. The head has been professionally re-sleeved by Ashdown.
This is an incredible high quality amp with tons of power on tap. You can confidently ignore anything youve heard about woolly Ashdowns, it's all bollox. This beast is the dogs nads!!!! The only reason its for sale is that Ive always had my eye on the Classic Series since they came out as their flagship and Ive now got my hands on a lovely usa Ashdown Combo so this can now move on and make someone else sound great.
Its been gigged and has VERY SLIGHT wear to the metal corner pieces (nothing a little smooth black hammerite wouldnt sort)its in excellent condition
The combo was £1400 when new so this is extremely reasonably priced.
£285 exc p&p
Meet up to exchange would be best but we could organise couriers if required
Thanks for looking

An absolutely fab bit of kit. I absolutely love owning and playing this beauty but Im looking at moving onto acoustic upright so unfortunately this has to go. Its about 9 months old and has a great range of quality sounds. The strings are played in and sound awesome. It has a piezo bridge pick up and an excellent Fishman fingerboard electric pickup. These can be used individually or blended to wonderful effect. In great condition, very well looked after. This seriously 'outplays; and 'outsounds' anything on the market under 2K, believe me, I tried them all before stumping for this one. A real quality bit of kit. Sits well on its built in spike and packs away very neatly. Comes with canvas Aria carry case £700 Collection would be best. Prepared to meet within a reasonable distance
