FS: Ashdown Spyder 550 Head - *SOLD* £275 Chelmsford, Essex

[MattW]

Possibly Ashdown's most underrated amp, the 550 is an absolute monster.  As near to a valve amp as I've ever experienced - it is blooming close to the tone of my CTM300!  Basically all the same EQ and switching, with a dual valve premap but then with a SS power section.

 

I used this extensively last year when I was playing mainly rock and blues and absolutely loved it, but doesn't really suit my current band so much who are more pop/funk oriented and I am limited with space so tend to use small amp and IEM's so this is sitting unused.  

 

It is well gigged and has some scuffing to the tolex, but otherwise is in very good order.  With no missing transfers and no damage to the chrome.

 

Reluctant sale but need to thin the herd and raise some funds.  

 

Collection from Chelmsford, Essex or would possibly post at Buyers Cost/risk.

 

Feel free to ask if you have any questions - thanks for looking!

My favourite series of the Ashdown line up.  I regularly gig the smaller 330 head and never wanted for more volume tone.  Great amps
