For sale or trade:

[size=6]'WIFE PROOF' Ashdown ABM300-115C evo[/size]

[b]What is it?[/b]
One of the original British 300W rms combo amp with a 15" speaker (no tweeter). It has a very full smooth sound (to my ears) and doesn't need to go past half way volume wise for your regular pub gig (unless you want a dirty look from fellow band mates!) I bought this new from a bass shop in Manchester and it's never let me down. There may be an issue with the DI on the front (if you use them) I'm looking into it, but the sound guy at my last gig reckoned he couldn't get a signal from it.

[b]What's 'Wife Proof'?[/b]
This combo amp comes with a tailer made textile cover that allows your new purchase to blend in with your home. This reduces complaints from your wife/girlfriend/partner/ or maybe boyfriend/husband to a bare minimum.

I think that's got to be one of the best sales pitches I've ever seen on BC. I can just imagine the cover being decorated with some brocade, maybe a nice floral print, some bows, that sort of fussy decorative thing...

Thats a great price for a gread little combo.

Yeah those perfect tens are pretty cool, i bought one not long ago for the same price.

Are you referring to the perfect ten or the ABM? You are more than welcome to buy it at this great price.

I feel like I've missed an opportunity with all of the decorating possibilities you're all suggesting. My next cover will be spectacular... I'm off to look through designs and get my sewing machine threaded!

Okay, I'm getting a lot of interest in the cover and PMs asking if I can throw the pencil in with the sale, so I've decided to give the perfect 10 its own thread to hopefully put the focus on that too.

After moving house this amp is now sitting in a different wardrobe, but still just sitting not doing much. I've taken the price off as I'm open to offers. Might be interested in a trade for a small 12" or maybe 10" combo for rehearsals. Would greatly prefer collection.
