ogri Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Ashton is BA400, Selmer is'72 SV50..the former is my practice amp, but Quinny our guitarist bought the selmer off me a few weeks back and whilst it eats his orange alive, he cannot get the sound he wants without it being too loud for a backline guitar amp..he tried a "hot plate" at saturdays gig but it compressed the sound too much. fantastic amp for bass, though its very much only if you like a certain sound(ricky or precision type of tone), and would make a brilliant studio or practice amp. is proper old school hardwired and totally original apart from being converted to take kettle plug power lead. thats why there both up for sale, i really like the tone and also like the idea of an amp that goes up in value as it gets older as such have put my ashton up for sale as well and whichever goes first ill keep the other. absolutely no issues with either amp Ashton £120 Selmer £160 someone here enquired about the selmer when i first dug it out, have pm'd him today as he obviously has first dibs, though he may have got one by now.

Jarhead Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Ahh, that's a shame. If you happen to still have it afterwards, drop me a message, and if I can stretch to it, I'll have it off you. Good luck with the sales, but not so much that the Selmer goes Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it and just laughed my a$$ off. Not to sure about the Ashton, never heard much about those, but like you said, it's a practice amp, and I'm looking for something with real power and tonal quality, and from the little I have heard about Ashton, they aren't what I'm looking for.

Zach[/quote] the ashton is suprisingly good, and was a steal when they first came out at under 200 squid, but now there over 300 in our local shop which is at bit too much really. the bloke who initially wanted the selmer has had a change of circumstances so its bumpety bump..its a fantastic amp, it really is, i just wish i could afford to have my ampeg hardwired like the selmer, the difference between that and a circuitboard is immeasurable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
