Ashdown ABM (Klystron) 400 - £199 ONO - *SOLD* £250 Bolton

[Pow_22]

As per my ampeg cab ad, im moving to a combo so this must go. One of the very first ABM’s (originally called Klystron) to come out from the early days of Ashdown. Tatty case but fully functional and sounds like an ABM should. Has a EHX 12ax7 fitted. Collection from Bolton or meet up possible.

 

From Ashdown:-

...AND SO THE ABM WAS BORN

And so the ABM was born, simultaneously setting new standards in tonal flexibility, power and reliability. The original name for these first amps was Klystron Bass Magnifier, inspired by a scene from Flash Gordon (one of Gooday's favourite movies) in which Doctor Zarkoff says: “Turn up the Klystron Magnifier”. The huge images of power depicted in the movie sat perfectly with the image and the sound Ashdown wanted to portray. With the name morphing to ABM (Ashdown Bass Magnifier), these early units were built by Gooday, his wife Jane, son Dan, and daughter Daisy in the living room of the family home every evening, allowing him to visit dealers and artists in the daytime. It didn't take long for the reputation of these incredible new amplifiers to get around.
