Ashdown Mini48

Hi all, looking for an Ashdown mini48, 8 ohm 600W cabinet South Wales based.  Are there any out there?

Good luck with your search. Fantastic little beasts. I luckily managed to pick one up recently and am going to hold tight to it.

Yes indeed, I have one but would like a second, for a monster small but heavy rig.  I contacted Ashdown who said they’re very popular and they may consider revising the model. Maybe I’m just being greedy, but I live in hope.

I've paired mine with a 15.

Is that the 300wABM or did you find the mini version?

It's a mini. I used to have an 4x8 and the matching 1x15 many years ago. I sold the 4x8 but the 15 wasn't sounding right so put it aside. Cut to this year and I wanted to have a second smaller rig option so I spoke to Dave Green at Ashdown and bought a Celestion 400w from them and put that in the cab it it's sounding perfect now. As previously mentioned I tracked down a 4x8 which I have no intention of selling on 😁

I have one, but I'm currently using it as a practice amp with a digital piano. 

 

It's never been gigged 😀 . 

 

I'm considering buying a 15 to match with it for a rather unique stereo gigging rig. Left hand through the 15, right hand through the 4x8.

Nooo, buy a keyboard amp and sell it to me 😊. Seriously though the mini 15’s are hard to find as well.
