[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1495227336' post='3302385'] I still wantttt this. Need the Thumb sold before I can consider it further! How does the maple compare to wenge, the obvious? I.e. Brighter, snappier [/quote] [quote name='nickmew' timestamp='1495566390' post='3304942'] Kev, think you're based in the Leamington area like me, maybe we could go halves? 😀 [/quote] Time share sounds pretty good!

[quote name='andybassdoyle' timestamp='1495472697' post='3303995'] If I wait a few days it will be free! Joking aside I had a play with this the other day and it's a great piece of kit. The flight case also has room for additional pedals to be routed in and switched from the main board. Very very nice and you will not be disappointed! [/quote] Thank you Andy! Awesome! Please share with band mates, especially Guitarists as this unit will take care of effects, switching of external pedals, preamp and amplifier channels and external MIDI control. Dedicated floor board, or use as a separate rack unit to hold all the pedals and have just the controller on the floor. Silly money for an as new top notch effects unit made for the road. (This is no toy!!) PM me re: price, I have to sell, so will discuss, especially as I'd rather have this collected.

[quote name='three' timestamp='1495445756' post='3303702'] I can't comment on the HDNs but recently started to use a HD 210 as part of a heavy-weight system (following years of lightweight gear, I came round to thinking that there's something missing, especially in commercial class D - just my opinion of course, and based on my own needs and preferences). The Berg cab was a complete revelation. Miles away from anything that I'd used previously (and I've had some very high cabs and drivers). Beautifully constructed, tonally magnificent - clear, transparent, fast, punchy and deep - and if it matters, aesthetically very pleasing. I can't imagine that any of Berg's cabs involve much in the way of compromise. I'd love to try this HDN but I know that I'd just have to have it! [/quote] Thank you Three! I can only agree. There's not a Berg I've tried that I didn't like and this one is no different. This one is pending sale now, off to a new home soon.

£575 for collection. Will throw in patch leads as an added extra too.

Will have a think about trade offers +cash my way.

Serves me right for copying from the website ha ha ha ha!!!

The HDN series is available in four driver configurations; 1-12” w/ Tweeter, 2-12” w/ Tweeter, 2-10” w/ Tweeter and 4-10” w/ Tweeter. These are the finest lightweight speaker cabinets made. The precision tuned cabinet architecture and the enclosures are built with the highest quality lightweight Italian poplar plywood (with Baltic birch baffle boards) selected to our demanding specifications. This lightweight cabinet material (along with the lightweight magnet material) helps reduce the overall cabinet weight. The exterior of these speaker cabinets are finished in a durable bronco tolex covering for long life and cabinet protection.

No ‘off-the-shelf’ parts are used. Our new design Neodymium magnet woofers (unique to the HDN) are used for the low frequency section of the HDN series cabinets. These Neodymium drivers have a punchy low-end and a very sweet midrange that is placed a little more forward in the sound field when compared to the HD series. Fretless and upright players will often prefer the HDN cabinets because of how the midrange ‘speaks’ with their instruments. The HDN series cabinets have a new design high intelligibility tweeter mated to the woofers through a custom designed phase-coherent crossover with a tweeter control. Because of the increased cost of the Neodymium magnet material and imported wood for the cabinetry, the HDN series speakers cost more than the HD series, but may just be the right match for your playing style and weight needs.[/font][/size][/font] [b][i][font=Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif][size=3]Current Uk price is £1200 + £80 for the cover. - Plus a considerable wait for the next uk shipment.

[quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1495369137' post='3303247'] Wow... they really brought the price down, damn. Dood, I think the eq. is flat when the faders are in the center of their travel. But of course the "flat" on this amp always has to do with how it's been engineered and built... so sounds different from my Warwick ProTube in flat. [/quote] Indeed, I suppose that's what I was wondering, thank you for the reply. I can handle 'the inherent tone of the electronics used' but I was keen to find out if Ashdown's well known pre-shape was 'on all the time' in the design, if you see what I mean. Really no bad thing mind, only to find out of that is part of the amplifier's design itself. I liked that on the R800 you can defeat the pre-shape should you need to.

One thing I never found out about these: Is the ;Ashdown 'preshape' baked in to these even if the EQ is set flat, or is it that the amplifier has a flat sound throughout the chain until you tweak the EQ? Would love to know.

Looking to sell this one on. £600, as new condition. Collect for a better deal.
