PM sent Jon.. Looking forward to hearing back from you

Bank Holiday bump..

That's exactly what I did when using an ABM head, and then sat them side-by-side for a BTA. Upright for a micro-head and then took one out for Double Bass gigs. All in all, an amazingly versatile solution to all your bass needs!!

Cheers Andy!!

As stated before, happy to arrange staggered payments. :-)

Cheers Drax! And very informative too!

Bump for this great little mini-stack

Hi For sale, a pair of MiBass12 cabs. Light gigging use but in excellent condition. These 8ohm cabs are great one their own or as a pair. They also fit nicely into the back of a hatchback! Collection from Brighton or can be couriered at the buyers expense unless I can deliver within a reasonable distance for diesel money.

[quote name='Jazzjames' timestamp='1430213845' post='2758919'] Would be a vast improvement over their encore precision bass that represents the bass guitar right now. [/quote] Ah, come on..The Encore P Bass is alright. Besides, this really does need to be played.

[size=5][b]OK. So this amp retails at £2799. I've had no luck on my asking price so I'm going to open it to offers. The first person that PM's me a sensible price for it gets it..[/b][/size] [b]Come on, what are you waiting for?[/b] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]To be frank, this amp is awesome. It destroys everything else on the market in this league and provide warm valve tone with all the features of the ABM series (Valve drive, compressor, sub-harmonics). It's a brutal amp that literally never stops. If you want headroom, this is it.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]In terms of spec, here's what Ashdown say:[/font][/color] [color=#B22222][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][i][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Handmade in our UK Custom Shop, the BTA-400 is a true contemporary bass masterpiece, for tonal connoisseurs who crave the traditional punch of valve amplification with the added flexibility of a modern preamp.[/size][/font][/i][/font][/color] [color=#B22222][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][i][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Combining the unmistakable tonal sophistication of our industry-standard ABM preamp with the sonic might of a fully-loaded 6x KT88 400W valve power amp, BTA400 is a stadium-ready powerhouse, currently rocking the world with players like Nate Mendel of the Foo Fighters. [/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]All the ABM features are there – EQ In/Out footswitching, variable Tube/Solid-State input stages, on-board compressor, Sub-Harmonic Generator, balanced DI Output with Pre/Post EQ switching, FX loop, Tuner output and more....[/size][/font] [b]Variable Valve Drive – from zero to rock hero[/b] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Whatever tonal character you're seeking, the valve drive control can take you there. Engage it and set on zero for a pristine solid state preamp tone, or wind it up to increase the level of true valve overdrive that gets blended into the signal, taking you from a hint of hair to a fat overdrive.[/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]The Drive level be preset and kicked in and out via footswitch, providing access to a huge range of clean, warm and overdriven tones.[/size][/font] [b]The best EQ in the business[/b] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Imagine the simplicity of a traditional 3-band EQ but with the flexibility of a graphic equaliser...that's what the acclaimed ABM preamp delivers, and that's why it's as popular with bass-purists as it is with modern tone-shifters. [/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Designed to be as simple to use as a 3-band EQ but offer outstanding tonal shaping options, the ABM EQ features familiar Bass, Middle and Treble rotary controls and two pairs of additional sliders. [/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]With the sliders set in the center position the three knobs function just like a classic 3-band EQ. But if you require more flexibility, the additional sliders allow you to fine tune the EQ in the regions the standard controls can't reach, providing a huge range of variation and allowing you to tailor the perfect sound for any gig. [/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]The EQ can be switched in via footswitch taking you from a flat fretless sound to your favourite EQ setting instantly. [/size][/font] [b]One knob compressor[/b] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Kick it in and this simple to use, great sounding compressor delivers a powerful, even sound, guaranteed to help your bass fill out any mix.[/size][/font] [b]Sub-Harmonic Generator[/b] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Once heard – never forgotten. The ABM Sub-Harmonic generator adds an octave below the notes being played bringing fullness to any bass part. The Sub level is independently controllable, letting you dial in anything from a subtle hint of deep bass to a full-on subterranean funk. [/size][/font] [b]Flexible Footswitching[/b] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Paired with our FS-4 footswitch (not included) the ABM comes alive for onstage use, enabling on-the-fly tonal gearshifts. With footswitchable Valve Drive, Compression, EQ and Sub Harmonic Generator, ABM puts dozens of sound combinations at your feet, without so much as an effect pedal in sight. [/size][/font] [b]Professional Connections[/b] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Not that you'd expect any less from any amp loaded with the ABM preamp section, BTA400 is loaded with connectivity. A Sub-Bass output to feed the desk or an additional amp, a tuner output, transparent FX loop and a Line Input for the connection of an external sampler or sound source. Output muting cuts the signal from the DI output but leaves the tuner output 'live', allowing the player to tune up in silence.[/size][/font][/i][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The amp is around 3 years old but has been very well looked after. No cuts or tears, no real marks; cosmetically 9.5 out of 10. The amp has never been driven and always protected by a dust-cover.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Retail on the head[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]is £2799 so I think that this is a very fair price.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm based in Brighton and you're welcome to come and try it out. Clearly, I would rather someone collected it in person but Ashdown managed to ship it to me so I'm sure there's someone out there that could arrange this if absolutely necessary.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Any questions, please ask[/font][/color] [attachment=190561:IMG_3749.JPG][attachment=190562:IMG_3750.JPG][attachment=190563:IMG_3751.JPG][attachment=190564:IMG_3752.JPG]

No-one knows what the question mark is about. It's been looked at by a number of experts and they all agree it's simply a Fender factory mark with no explainable meaning.. As for stamp-duty.. well, when the house has a fully equipped studio in it in which to house a lifetimes worth of equipment, it's a small sacrifice.
