Ashdown CTM 300 all valve bass head now £875 ON HOLD £975 Nr Plymouth Devon

[loudspeaker]

Ashdown CTM 300 all valve Bass head in superb condition, I bought  this during lock-down in 2020 but since then our band has only been playing pubs and small venues, I have a CTM 100 and LB 30 so I am well covered with valve amps for these gigs so this can now be sold

 

Very light home use since I have had it, all working perfectly, Tolex in good condition always kept in it's rocsolid cover.

 

Great tone and versatile with the 5 shift switches and 3 band passive eq, it can be a gentle giant at home volumes all the way through to solid beautiful bass tone on to a roaring snarling monster if needed. can be used at 2, 4 or 8 0hms

 

Legendary Ashdown customer service and advice always available, this is an amp built for a lifetime of playing, owner biasing of tubes is simple so no regular servicing bills

Collection from Nr Plymouth, I am happy to drive a reasonable distance for a personal handover, if you would like to arrange a courier collection I will pack very securely, I will make a wooden crate to protect it.

If this had been the CTM-100, I'd have been in like a shot, but there's no way I can justify 300w! 

GLWTS - I imagine this will make someone very happy.

Course you can just turn the volume down and you'll be fine.  

 

Tasty looking amp. Bet its sounds thunderous. Don't see the 300W versions very often.

If i didn't have the Handbox i would have gone for this. The CTM-100 was my 2nd choice but this would have had so much more headroom.

Great amps these, had one for a while and it didn't disappoint. Given they're near 3k new, anything under a grand is a good price!

If only you were nearer

Possibly the most frequently spoken phrase on Basschat

...but yes, large Ashdown tube amps are rather special 👍

Thats because we are all stoopid!

WOW that's some price for one of these amps. 1/3rd of the retail price. 

I looked at these before getting my Handbox WB-100 but the new price was way out of my range.

So so envious of whoever buys this.

Amp tubiness in abundance.
