Ashdown Drop Head 200 Combo , and other Ashdown Goodies,inc Spyder 550 £2300 West Sussex

[Chimike]

Now pulling out my Ashdown amps for sale, some , bit out of the ordinary !

Ashdown DP200, 15", drop head combo. Probably weren't many of these built. I bought it  new, to play at a reunion of my old band when the singer was visiting from America, many moons ago.

 Probably only taken it out once or twice, since. Love it's retro styling, and it's far more pokey than my B15, but there's a weight penalty. Four KT88's and the necessary transformers

means you won't run for a bus carrying it ! However, to my eyes, it's a thing of beauty, and sounds fantastic. Check the pics, a mere £1200.

 

Next, Red Mark King  Ashdown head, the one with the Trace-like 12 way graphic, vgc, £300 ( now gone )

 Couple of very early Ashdown Klystron Magnifier heads, late 90's, (pre ABM'S, but same preamp ), one 200w, £150, one 400w £200.

Another 500w amp head, has same twin valve preamp as the drophead combo (no graphic), Spyder 550, . Again ,great sounding amp £250.

6x10 bass cab, this is a professionally cut down King Combo, with the 10" celestions Ashdown used before they went over to the blue cone ones. £199

BTW the first King combo had no grill ,so nor has this one .

 more pics, when I can.

Collection, and viewing near Worthing, west Sussex. 

or

I'll be at the October and November Bass Bash's.
