karlfer Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Ashdown Klystron Classic 500 head, with footswitch. Just got this from RandomBass. It looks almost brand new, it sounds fantastic and it overhangs my Ashdown mini cabs by about 2 inches on either side . I know that will swiftly drive me clinically insane. I am struggling to believe I was so stupid to forget my cabs are Ashdown mini cabs. OK, so £370 including courier. I am now going to weep in the corner. THIS WAS SOLD AND HAS FALLEN THROUGH BECAUSE ASHDOWN'S LINK BELOW SHOWS THE WRONG DIMENSIONS!!!! The actual dimensions are, Width 24 inches (610) Height 8.75 inches (210) Depth, 12 inches (300). I now know where I went wrong when I got it.

Please note, I may sell the cabs instead, see later post. Edited March 6, 2012 by karlfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomBass Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Karl is a great guy to deal with. Highly recommended. The Klystron is as he says, and a great sounding head. Permission granted to use my ad of course lol. Cheers Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomBass Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Ps I personally think Karl should get himself a 4 ohm 4 x 10 to sit the Klystron on. Now where did I get that idea? Lol Cheers Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 All PM's replied to, one still being thought about/researched. Just a couple of little points. These things were over £800 when they came out, and they are rated at 575 watts. Top quality hand built in Britain. Cheers, Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) OK, I absolutely adore the sound of this amp, but if you look at the photos in the 1st post, I cant live with the amp overhanging. Sad but true . My initial thought was sell the amp. That is still an option. I am also now thinking sell both cabs, please see seperate post. Cheers, Karl.

karlfer Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Cheers fellas. Trade or sale possible, I can only say no. May even trade for a quality neo cab, Schroeder/EBS, must be 4 ohms, min 600 watts. Will deliver free within 50 miles of Wigan at the collect price of £350. Thank you very glad, Karl.

karlfer Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Back up for sale, although I will still happily trade for a quality 600watt, 4 ohm 2x12 or 4 x 10. Anybody interested, PLEASE, read the dimensions in the first post. It will fit fine on most "traditional" size cabs. Free delivery within 50 miles of Wigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Dowdall Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Heya , not to sure how this forum works as I've only just registered but this amp looks perfect for what I need You said about delivering, would you consider delivering to blackpool? If not I'm happy to pay the courier fee : ) I need an amp in time for a festival I'm playing (hammerfest on the 15th of march in case anyones interested!) I want to get a gritty, aggressive sound out of this as the band I'm in play heavier stuff will this amp give me that kind of sound? Thanks very much!
