cardinaljay Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hey all, After recently finding an old valve Fender Bassman 100 and matching 1x15 cab, I have decided it's time to let my old faithful go. Nothing wrong with it whatsoever - I just don't use it anymore Here's the details... Ashdown ABM 500 chrome rack mount head, 500 watts @ 4 Ohms. [attachment=9768:Ashdown_ABM_Head.JPG] Ashdown ABM 212 cabinet. Loaded with Precision Devices speakers [attachment=9769:Ashdown_Speakers.JPG] Other info I've had the head since 2001 and have serviced it every 6 months since then. In these 7 years, I've not had a single problem with it's performance or reliability. I used to play it through a 4x10 Trace cab and it sounded super, however in my opinion the ABM 212 is immense. Cosmetically, the cab has seen better days, although there's no rips in the cloth or damage to the speakers. Although I don't rackmount the head, I do transport it in a decent carry case. (see photobucket link for pic of this) I am looking for a very reasonable £550 for the whole rig (kettle lead and speaker cable included) Considering the speakers cost around £100 each new - that's a bargain Any questions, please feel free to ask.

Etienne Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hello! Please could you tell me what the spec is on the cab (weight, power and impedance)? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hello, nice rig, would you be interested in splitting the rig up? I would certainly be interested in the head, you may sell them quicker split up. Cheers, Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please could you tell me what the spec is on the cab (weight, power and impedance)? Thanks![/quote] Thanks for your question. The cab is rated at 300w, 8ohms. It weighs approx. 80 pounds. This is mainly due to the quality speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However my preference would be to sell them together, as I'd have little use for the 2x12 without the head. I have PMed you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
