Etienne Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) [attachment=9598:Ashdown_angle.JPG]I bought this a couple of years ago on Ebay to partner up with my other early Mini 48- gigged together, they made a tiny 1200WRMS 8x8 that could cut right through my old blues/rock band's twin guitars no problem! However, since I finally managed to track down an early ABM Mini 15 this year and prefer the extra low-end, I have no need for this anymore... It's a 2003 model (going by the serial number), which means it's the early, 'stealth' design (black rectangular carry handles either side, black-finished metal corners, and plain black grille with little Ashdown logo badge) It has both 1/4" jack & Speakon inputs. 600W RMS @ 8ohms, weighs about 30 Kenny G's, but easy to pick up and carry! Functionally, it's in great shape- sounds clear and punchy like it should. The only very minor gripe is the jack socket needs re-tightening every once in a while, as the plastic fastening nut eventually works loose with repeated plugging & unplugging- an easy fix though and doesn't affect the sound one bit! I always used the Speakon input anyway... Cosmetically, it gets 9/10. it's seen a few gigs, but is actually pretty tidy. There are just a few small nicks and minor scuffs in the vinyl covering here and there, and... that's it really! I'm looking for £150 for this, or I may swap for an A1 condition, boxed Sansamp BDDI (preferably the current model with the extra switching). Sorry, no offers! I'm based just south of Liverpool city centre, and I seriously encourage interested parties to come and try this out in person. Sorry, but I won't post this due to the weight, and also because I don't trust couriers! However, I am prepared to deliver this within a reasonable distance (say, 50 miles) if my diesel costs are covered... better budget for an extra £150 in that case! Thanks for looking!

To Ben: I'm pretty sure that I won't be posting this, UNLESS absolutely no-one bites in the next month! Somebody PM'ed me about 2hrs ago asking if they can try it out tomorrow morning, so I'll see how that goes... To Fifeq: If your gig's on next month and the cab still hasn't sold by then, please PM me. BTW, please clarify- did you mean you'd trade me your Sansamp PLUS £50 for the cab, OR did you mean you'd trade me the Sansamp ONLY and pay me £50 for diesel? Thanks again!

He seemed like a nice fellow too, hope he enjoyed his double dose of Mini 48 goodness (already owns one of 'em) on the gig he was heading to...
