[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]Very tentative feeler to gauge interest:-[/color][/font][/size]



[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]Here we have an Ashdown DP200H – a 200w all valve [/color][/font][/size][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]UK[/font][/size][/color][/size][/font][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000] built amp. Serial number dates this to 2008.[/color][/font][/size]



[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]It is in immaculate condition with no knocks, dings, scuffs or scrapes. The chrome and black exterior combined with the visible glowing quad of caged 6550 valves looks stunning. Its clearly taken a few design tips from the old Ampeg B15 heads.[/color][/font][/size]



[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]It was re-valved in May this year with a matched set of 4 x Harma Retro 6550 valves. The pre-amp consists of a JJ ECC83 and a JJ ECC82. There is a further JJ ECC83 driver valve that sits in between the 6550's. [/color][/font][/size]



[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]I bought this as I feel 200w valve wise is just right. Enough headroom but also you can drive the power valves to get the sweet tone without flattening small cities. The big plus here is that the lack of a traditional wooden case/sleeve means this is probably the lightest 200w valve amp out there – it feels lighter than my Hartke HA5500 in wooden case![/color][/font][/size]



[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]The amp runs at 200w via ¼" jacks at either 4, 8 or 16ohm so should be able to power most of the commonly seen cabs.[/color][/font][/size]



[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]It comes with the original box, manual & kettle lead. Viewings and trials are more than welcome and initially this is offered as a 'collection only' from [/color][/font][/size][font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Bolton[/font][/size][/color][/size][/font][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]. I can deliver within reasonable distance.[/color][/font][/size]



[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]As above this is very much a feeler to gauge interest and see if my idea of pricing is correct. I have yet to line up a replacement amp and so as such im setting it at [b]£875.00.[/b] [/color][/font][/size]



[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]The ONLY trade/part-ex deal I would consider would be an Ampeg V4BH with cash my way[/color][/font][/size]



[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]Pictures will be served forthwith[/color][/font][/size]

Dug the box out of the loft and forgot it has fairly substantial polystyrene holding blocks in it. At a push i could probably ship in UK at buyers risk of course. Always used Paisley Freight will no problems to date.

If interested give me a shout and ill get some quotes

If I hadn't ordered a CTM from Ashdown a few weeks back I would have bought this when it first appeared :(

Are you getting another 100 or something else? :)

Just a humble CTM30 Mert, but I've always loved the Drophead and would have pushed the boat out a bit more for it!

The CTM30 is ace, I have one now!

But yes there's something about the Drophead isn't there :) Hope it shifts soon!

I really don't know why I desperately want this. I messed around (expensively) with valve pres for years 'til it finally dawned that they don't suit me - I much prefer a SS tone - the crispness and immediacy really suit my playing style. Maybe it's the looks - the DH is outrageously beautiful and I'm amazed it's still here. If it hangs around much longer, my resistance will evaporate and I'll have another valve unit that won't suit my style. At the current price, this is a steal IMO. And it's just up the road
