observer Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Hi. I've bought recently the ash abm 115-500 cab, and I've been searching for some more information about it. On german ebay I found this 115-500: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ASHDOWN-ABM-115-500-1X15-BASS-CAB-UK-MADE-VINTAGE-RARE_W0QQitemZ330295585407QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAmps?hash=item330295585407&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ASHDOWN-ABM-115-500-...A1%7C240%3A1318[/url] It looks a bit diffrent than mine, as mine had cloth grill cover, rectangular handles and is front ported. Anyway, My questions are: 1. Do you know any reason to call 10 years old cabinet (about) "vintage"? 2. Is this cab really worth £350?

Some people seem to get suckered into ads using the words 'vintage' or 'rare' (and that cab is only about 4 years old). 2. No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmansky Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 vintage and rare?vintage its not as musky has already said.might be rare as newer ones are now 300w i think.at £350 you can buy new for that,think theyre having a laugh!

Machines Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 It's only 4 years old ! They are most certainly having a long necked African mammal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I had 2 of these cabs about 2 or 3 years ago. I would say vintage was something over about 25 years old so it would have to have been made in 1983 and Ashdown weren't around then.
