Got myself a cheap amp for £80!

[FlyStraight99]

Behold! an Ashdown MAG 250. 
 

it was a 10 minute drive and was decent to play for a few minutes. Something for a newbie like myself to get started on.  
 

 

it is perhaps too late to ask what you guys think of these, as I’ve already got the amp but what won me was the option to add a cab for 500w total power  plenty for future pub gigs eh?

The Subharmonic button needs to be monitored that it is in the off position before playing.

Nice score there, well done,

I had the 300 for years and it never let me down, it actually put me on quite an ashdown journey though lots of their amps and cabs over the years, they have a great after sales reputation too

And welcome to the low end.

Good score there

Bargain that, well done!

That's a great deal. I owned an Ashdown EB 150, which was a beginners combo similar to your's, with a 15 inch speaker. I used it for years and partnered with another 15 inch cab it could be really loud.

 

I still really like the Ashdown sound.

Good buy and schlepping it will help keep you fit 🙂

Posts like the OP make me remember all the gigs I played in the UK with a 50W amplifier! How things change eh?  LOL
