Due to our landlord selling our flat I too am looking to slim down my amp/cab collection which I've accumulated over the years. This sale is for a Fender BXR 400 dual bass head, here's a quick spec as there is no proper description available; [b]Specs[/b] [b]400 Watts[/b] [b]11 Band graphic EQ[/b] [b]Compressors[/b] [b]Electronic crossover[/b] [b]FX loop[/b] [b]Dimensions: 23.5" x 20" x 6"[/b] [b]Weight: 53 lbs[/b] The amp was previously owned by a backline company who used to deal with touring US bands in the 90s and someone during then dented one of the back cooling fins, but I guess that's punk for you. They are known for being able to send two different frequencies (set by the user) to two different amps using the crossover knob. The bassist from Nirvana had one as a back up, so that's the idea of its tone. Quite rare to come across now and look the part with the retro design and wiring diagram on the top. It's been modified with an English voltage plug.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Due to our landlord selling our flat I too am looking to slim down my amp/cab collection which I've accumulated over the years.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This sale is for an Ashdown CTM 15 valve head, here's a description from Andertons.co.uk;[/font][/color] [b]The Ashdown CTM-15 is a small compact All Tube Bass Amp that delivers rich warm bass tones at easy to control low volumes. This makes it ideal for studio recording or for practising at low volumes. [/b] [b]Although compact it still feels like an Ashdown and features the classic Ashdown VU Meter on the front.[/b] [b]The Ashdown CTM-15 tube bass amplifier head is all about big tone in a tiny package that's perfect for recording. Plug your bass into the passive ECC83-driven preamp and dial in just the right amount of growl, and Dual EL84 power tubes will deliver 15 surprisingly loud watts to your favorite bass speaker cabinet. With the CTM-15, low wattage doesn't mean the amp is quiet, it just means it's easier to get that glorious tube saturation. It's bold enough for smaller gigs, and you'll be able to conjure epic tone in your studio with the Ashdown CTM-15 tube bass amp head.[/b] [b]Low power, not low volume[/b] [b]Lays down a few bass lines through the Ashdown CTM-15 tube amp, and you won't be the first to wonder "Wow, is that really only 15 watts-" It's loud and proud, and the lower wattage means you can overdrive the CTM-15 easier. So whether you like fat clean tones or growling, overdriven bass, the CTM-15 has you covered.[/b] [b]Find the sweet spot fast with the VU meter display[/b] [b]The CTM-15's analog VU meter isn't a vintage-style triviality, it gives you an accurate display of your power amp's output. Tube amps always have their own sweet spot where they sound their best, and the CTM-15's VU meter helps you find it every time.[/b] [b]Seriously, it's ready to perform - gig bag included[/b] [b]With 4- and 8-ohm speaker outputs, the CTM-15 is ready to plug into your bass cab and rock. The CTM 15 even comes with a gig bag, just so you know it's ready for your next session.[/b] [b]Ashdown CTM-15 Tube Bass Amplifier Head Features:[/b][list] [*][b]15-watt tube bass amp head with 4- and 8-ohm outputs[/b] [*][b]Perfect for smaller gigs and recording studios[/b] [*][b]Two EL84 power amp tubes provide amazing volume, punch, and impact[/b] [*][b]VU meter accurately displays output power[/b] [*][b]Low wattage makes it easy to saturate the tubes for aggressive tone[/b] [*][b]Gig bag included[/b] [*][b]Power Output (RMS) 15 Watts[/b] [*][b]Speaker Outputs 2 x Jack Sockets[/b] [*][b]Pre-Amp Tubes 1 x ECC83[/b] [*][b]Output Tubes 2 x EL84[/b] [*][b]H x W x D (mm) 140 x 235 x 155[/b] [*][b]Weight (kg) 5[/b] [/list] The amp is in good condition and everything works as it should, also included in the sale is the cute shoulder bag it comes in. These little amps are great for getting that valve tone quietly and the gain really does go into super distortion levels.

The new Fender Rumble 2x8 bass speaker cabinet is a gigging bassist's dream, capable of handling 500 watts, yet weighing in at a mere 28 pounds. So it's not just easy on the ears, it's easy on your vehicle, your venue, and your vertebrae! [/b] [b]The Rumble 2x8 cabinet's special lightweight design delivers more pronounced low-frequency response than most small cabs, and the dual 8" neodymium speakers allow for a smaller enclosure size while delivering knockout bass punch even quicker than 10" speakers. Combine these features with the switchable tweeter (full/off/-6db), and you just became a thundering force to be reckoned with, especially when you pair the Rumble 2x8 with the Rumble 112 cabinet and a Rumble head. Other great features include a side handle for easy portability and a unique magnetic system for holding a Rumble head securely in place while delivering a serious amount of bass with no interference from vibration.[/b][list] [*][b]500W program handling, 250W continuous[/b] [*][b]2 - 8" Eminence speakers with neodymium magnets and 2" voice coil[/b] [*][b]Piezoelectric tweeter with 3-position level control[/b] [*][b]Vented enclosure with lightweight construction[/b] [*][b]Magnetic locking system to hold a Rumble amp head in place[/b] [/list][list] [*][b]19-3/4"W x 15"H x 12"D[/b] [*][b]28 lb.[/b] [/list] Bought these off a fellow BCer and would keep them as they sound great and are super light, but my Barefaced is staying. I'm sure I don't need to sell these anymore to you as they are pretty renowned. They are both in good condition with no tolex rips.

Due to our landlord selling our flat I too am looking to slim down my amp/cab collection which I've accumulated over the years. This sale is for an Ashdown Touring 550 2x10 combo, here's a description from Andertons.co.uk; [b]A tour grade amp for the gigging bassist - the Ashdown 550 is portable, but does not lack in low end tone, power or clarity like some mobile bass combos.[/b] [b]The tube preamp of the 550 Touring Combo probably contributes to the way this combo allows the attack of your notes to cut through the mix without excessive EQ, as well as the perceived "warmth" of the low-midrange. Finally, you can have studio quality bass tone on the road at a price that won't leave a hole in your pocket.[/b] [b]The 550 Touring is a 2x10" combo combining the warmth and grind of the 427 Small Block's all-tube preamp with the dynamics of Ashdown's tour-proven 500-Watt ABM power stage.[/b] [b]The 550 Touring features High and Low gain inputs, front panel-mounted Effects Send and Return, rotary Bass, Middle and Treble controls with Mid Shift, Bass Shift and Bright switching, Mute switch, rotary Gain and Master volume controls and balanced DI output with Pre/Post switching.[/b][list] [*][b]Power Output (RMS): 550W[/b] [*][b]Speaker Configuration: 2 x 10"[/b] [*][b]H x W x D (mm): 730 x 460 x 765[/b] [*][b]Weight (kg): 37[/b] [/list] The amp is in fine condition, great tone and plenty of power, she is a heavy girl though but it's fine with two people.

Any recommendations for replacement valves? Want something that can bark with my jazz...
-
No love for the EHX pog?
-
So I opened it up, took all the valves out and sprayed contact spray, no luck... I then replaced one of the stubbier valves (the three in the front, guess they are the pre-amp ones...?) with a new ruby one and boom it all works perfectly now. However when I was going through the valves they were a mix match of different types, is this something I should avoid?
-
[quote name='basskit_case' timestamp='1470217336' post='3104115'] I do what I can! Ashdown Had implied on their Facebook feed that the Little Bastard head might be coming back. I wonder if these are being sold off in anticipation of that? [/quote] My thoughts exactly
-
Well I didn't take any valves out and the whooshing sound went away on its own BUT (and a big but at that!) I've noticed a substational drop in volume, I can have it cranked going through a barefaced 15" compact and it isn't nearly as loud as it was yesterday with the whooshing sound.
-
I'm pretty miffed, bought this second hand the other month and today I've got that whooshing sound which (from what I gather) could be a transformer issue. Now as I bought it second hand am I entitled to ashdowns superb customer service or should I take it to a tech? OR ( a big or) is it something a little DIY can't fix?

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1469793484' post='3101078'] The Strymon is great, I also used the Neunaber wet, that's really nice too. I've moved away from pedals, and use software nowadays.
