radansey Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I've seen one of these for £100 S/H. Any comments before I bite the bullet? Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 That's a good price assuming it's not totally knackered. I had one and with a 210 extension cab it was capable of smallish gigs no problem. On it's own it might struggle - but if you just want a practice amp or you don't play in a loud band it's perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I have the one with the 15 inch speaker and it's pretty loud, is light and has a great sound. Had it for at least 5 years and it's never let me down. My other amps come and go but this ones going nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radansey Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 UPDATE Went to see the Ashdown - 30 minutes and £100 lighter and she is mine (are amps female too, like basses and cars!!). In very good nick (just a litle dusty) and it came with a pukka Ashown cover. It does have casters fitted but I may remove these to get better coupling with the floor. The VU meter does not seem to work, but I have seen that this is a common issue so not going to lose too much sleep over this. I'm trying to get hold of the schematic, but Ashdown are a bit slow in responding. Judging from other posts on the matter, it is probably a knackered meter movement so at the moment I am using my ears to detect if the input is overdriven until I resolve the 'problem'. Gigged it on Sunday - very punchy, good tone (but a little different from my usual rig) - still need to play more to tweak the tone, but generally the dog's wotsits. Bargain!!
