Woodinblack Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Decided I might as well move on my Ashdown CTM-100. It works well and sounds glorious but I never really take it anywhere because it is heavy and I have to carry the PA and keys and basses etc, so it used to be too much for the car. Also at waist height on top of my cab in a small venue its not great with my big singles Anyway, all is in pretty good condition, it has a nick on one of the handles, and a bit of dust from sitting around. This is a Made in the UK one (I only just found out there were chinese), and it was hand made as this is the prototype that all others were made from, which is why it has different coloured knobs and a funny serial. I am not posting this though, its too much of a faff to post a valve amp of this weight and I am in no hurry. So local pickup (you can try it etc if you are here) or I can meet up or deliver reasonably locally. Just for sale, don't really want anything about from a 5 string bongo or a SY1000 synth Heres some pictures.

Merton Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 As I’ve said elsewhere, these amps are superb. And that’s a great price 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 How about I reduce it to £550? Still local pickup up only or delivery / meeting within a 50 mile or so circle of Yeovil, so Bristol, Exeter, Poole, Salisbury etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 That's a fantastic price for this amp, especially as it's a UK built Ashdown prototype.. I love my CTM100, and if I didnt already have it, then I would be struggling to find reasons not to buy this one. Am currently using mine for a recording project and the sound straight out of the DI into the desk is just fantastic.. GLWTS 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima2876 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Just wanted to register interest in this and maybe get a temporary hold on it if you're happy to do so? I'm in Plymouth so it's not too bad of a drive to get to Exeter for me to meet half way - just checking and doing some research to see whether the volume will keep up with my current rig (ABM-500 Evo II, but I don't exactly rag it - only run the volume at about 1o'clock).

Woodinblack Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 It will go loud, although obviously the louder you go the more distortion you get, although it takes a while to notice it, which is why people say valve watts sound louder, its more musical when driven. Goes loud enough for a loud drummer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima2876 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I did spend quite a while reading and researching yesterday, and I’m strongly leaning towards taking this off your hands - still not quite 100% yet as I’d like to be really sure We are thinking of doing an IKEA trip near Exeter soon. Do you think that’d be a good place to meet? It’s free parking and just off the M5. We can take it to PM to figure out the details if you’d like also. Thanks!

Woodinblack Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Sure - we were there a few weeks ago. Its a bit of a pain getting from ikea into town, but its a good open place to meet people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima2876 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Well, this is keeping me up late so I think I’ve gotta say I’ll take it. I’ll send you a PM tomorrow and we can organise logistics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
