Looking to snap-up Ashdown ABM-300-EVO IV for a crunchy sound
la bam replied to PeteJ's topic in Amps and Cabs
I'm selling my abm600 evo iv custom shop rack mount for not much more if you're after an abm. It's in the sales ads. -
Hi all, I am selling the amp I saved up all summer for... Ashdown ABM600 evo iv. In blue (very rare) rack mount version. Usually rackmounts are silver only. Built in the UK at ashdowns custom shop. Boxed in original box. Literally 2 or 3 months old. Only used twice to test in the house. Perhaps the best all round amp out there. Quality throughout. Any sound achievable. Valve drive pre. 9 band eq (3 dials 6 sliders). £475 pick up Leyland Lancashire. Grab a rare amp at a great price.

Mesa Boogie sold, Ashdown, Trace Elliott rumours?
la bam replied to Chienmortbb's topic in Amps and Cabs
Loads of stuff you could do with trace nowadays that just didnt exist when they were around. Lightweight cabs. Pre amp pedals. Larger class d amps with classic pre amp built in. Their current range just doesnt interest me at all. I had an elf which was surprisingly good, but was max on its limits in a gig situation, so not great in the real world. The pre amp transit pedal is expensive and their 8" and 10" cabs just dont do it for me. Whack together a classic pre amp, the large band eq, the UV light and an 800w class d power stage and it's a winner. Couple that with a lightweight 4x10 or 2x12 all in the black and green and its sounding good already. -
As a rule, if it helps, any kind of discussion to get you away from the platform your selling on is to be avoided. Dont do it. Keep any discussions via the website you are advertising on. It protects you and your identity and money. Ie if youre on gumtree or ebay dont then start communicating via email. What they have done is removed any protection whatsoever that you had by using the selling platform, and it just becomes a private matter or sale and you'll not be protected if scammed.

Unfortunately what you've done there is give your email address to a spammer/scammer. So be careful of any other tricks theyll try in the future.

Did you reply to him by your email?

Avoid and ignore.
-
Yep, crazy decision that one. Surely having this the same on all amps would be better.
-
Just makes life so much easier. Get to gig, put cab in place, take lids off amp box, plug one plug into a wall socket, plug one end of the Speakon into the cab. Job done.

My rig for 2021. Ampeg svt7 pro. Ampeg usa 410hlf cab. Korg Pitchblack Tuner. Line 6 G90 wireless unit. In the rear of the case: 6 way rack mount plug sockets. Gallien Kreuger MB800 as spare. Contains everything I need as well as spares for everything. Rack lids have pouches in to hold any cables etc. It quite manageable - around 15kg and one lift in. The cab is quite heavy, but liftable, and has proper good wheels when on the flat.

Great amp in every way. Not ridiculously heavy, but still heavy. It's a great sound, really nice. Very instant response. The genius is that it's two amps in one, a solid state and a valve, so if anything goes wrong, you can switch over without worry. The biggest issue was it's a complete work of art. It's a stunning thing to have and to look at with all those valves glowing etc and as such you will want to protect it, which adds a hard case and more weight. It's not gonna knock your socks off on it's own- I dont think valve amps do - but its lovely in the mix.

SOLD: Ashdown Evo iv 4x10 cab and high end cover

I'm selling my Ashdown Tonepocket. Only a few months old. Only used a few times. I bought this as I wanted a portable, battery powered practice aid for when I was away on business, so I wouldnt be tethered to a plug socket etc. It's a superb piece of kit with lots of features: 1. Rechargeable power battery - so no need to worry about replacing batteries. 2. Aux input. 3. Headphone output. 4. Also jack output, so can be used as a preamp or tone shaper. 5. Eq. 6. USB out, so you can record straight to your pc. 7. Tiny (about the size of your palm) and ultra lightweight. 8. X2 charging points, so can be charged off plug wall socket or car 12v system. Includes all accessories (charger, bag, aux cable, instructions and boxes). Only selling as I've got an ampeg scr which I didnt know took batteries. So this is now not required. It's too good just to be sat around. Pick up Leyland or will post. Save £40 or £50 on new prices.

Ampeg scr-di for me. Plenty of things to do with that. Recording, di for live, practice, overdrive pedal, lots of ideas.

The markbass traveller 2x10 is a very good very loud cab.
-
Yes, the hydrive 4x10 is a great cab. Very loud and punchy and much smaller and lighter than you would think. That's the same set up I had and it was really really good. The hydrive (usually) has wheels on it too.
-
Yeh the lh1000 will just do it, no messing, no frills. Just plug and play. Proper rock n roll.

Hi all, Selling my Ashdown evo iv 4x10 cab in superb condition. Only once, very powerful and punchy. Has side and top recessed handles for ease of use AND tilt back wheels, as well as slider rails. Comes with padded faux leather cover from Hotcovers - cost around £100 on it's own. Cover has perfect holes for all handles and wheels, and has a front pocket for cables etc and an understrap to stop it rising in transit. Fantastic cab for any set up. Pick up Leyland, Lancashire.

How much of the Ampeg sound is the amp and how much the cab?
la bam replied to la bam's topic in Amps and Cabs
Finally got chance to give the svt7 and 410hlf a blast in a proper setting and it was absolutely glorious. Rich, tasty and best of all it just sat lovely in every song. No harsh eqing, no volume boosts needed. Just knew where to be. Also, surprisingly I used the ultra lo, which I didnt think I would have to, and it really added to the sound. This is the same set up where the svt sounded pretty harsh and sterile using an ashdown cab, but really sounds different with the svt cab. Very happy! -
Great amps. I was very impressed with mine. Flat is: (in notches out of 10 - not oclock) Bass 2-3 Mids 10 Treble 0 Engage the limiter and brite.
