SOLD Ashdown Little Bastard tube amp with 15" cab £400

[burno70]

Sadly up for sale is my Ashdown Little Bastard amp with the accompanying 15" Ashdown cab (VS-115 300w 8 Ohm).

This is an amazing studio/practice tube amp and just about the nicest sounding amp I've ever owned. Genuinely gutted to part with it as I've never sounded better but I'm looking to move in with girlfriend and need to down size.

Rather than a straight sale I'd actually prefer to trade it for an amazing quality (small) practice amp. Something like a Phil Jones Double Four or Briefcase would be ideal. It has to be able to be played at low volume in a flat so as to not annoy neighbors - which the Ashdown can do incidentally!

I can't see me posting this amp as I've no packaging but I would be prepared to travel a reasonable distance to assist the trade/sale. I live in Liverpool but sometimes travel to Coventy and Middlesborough if this helps.

I'll post pics over the weekend.

Have you considered moving in with a girlfriend with a bigger flat? 🙄

I have and I still have too much stuff!

Left field suggestion. Lose the cab, keep the amp, cheap dummy load, wee mixer to DI into, decent headphones, jobs a good un. having owned an LB30 (and subsequently a CTM30) I know what you're giving up. Best little head out there and if I didn't have a Burman (despite it needing a good bit of work!) I'd have this off you in a flash...

[burno70]

Pics up - at last!

This may seem like a silly question - how is this for gigging in terms of volume?

[burno70]

I've not tried it at gig volumes and it can do loud in a home environment. But it all honesty it's rated at 30w and I don't think it would would have a chance against a couple of guitars or a loud drummer. 

 

Still available incidentally. 

[KingChrome]

Would you ship the amp to germany?

Cheers,

Hi

I know you said you couldn't see yourself posting this anywhere because of packaging, but the ad has been up a while and I was wondering would you consider posting it outside of UK?

Thanks

Why hasn't this sold yonks ago?

[Quilly]

I owned one of these in the past and its an amazing sounding amp. I was gutted when I sold it. If I had the space Id but this in a heartbeat .

Probably hasn't put a *SOLD* notice on the ad yet.

Sorry for not editing the post but the amp has gone.

Thanks
