  1. It’s a bad time to sell anything Walshy
  2. Will do but for the moment will probably use this as #1 gigging amp, it has the perfect mix of tone , power, ruggedness simplicity (important for me - me not so smart) and practicality (it’s a bit heavy but not too bad) but you never know, I might spot something that I “absolutely must have” and need funds quickly.
  3. I actually bought one from Merton there before Christmas and it’s a gem of an amp. Had an LB-30 many moons ago. Great sounding amp but don’t expect a clean tone at gigging volumes. I think the CTM100 probably has the best of options
  4. I’ve decided to go and get some of my old Trace gear fixed up and restored in an attempt to distract myself from all this Ashdown NOS malarkey 😬.
  5. AH-500/7 gone off for an auld service. Foot pedal not working (never use it but that’s not the point) and a bit of a blowey sound on initial power on ...dunno what that is so getting tech to check all the points caps transistors etc. I think it needs some TLC. Don’t really know what to do with it after that 🤷‍♂️. It is a bit of a beast and a sledgehammer of an amp. A bit past the pure Trace era (built in UK under the Peavey umbrella) but a really great sounding amp.
  6. I know , it’s a pretty reasonable price isn’t it 🤔 I just don’t think I could live with a 427w, 35kg behemoth. Think of the cost of s service...you’re talking £200-300 just to replace the power valves . Oh but it’s a thing of beauty 😫
  7. Ashdown 427 Small Block Ashdown 427 Small Block https://reverb.com/item/18725709-ashdown-427-small-block?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=18725709
  8. I believe it’s in reverb.com. I see a LB-30 and the 424 small block . These aren’t the NOS builds but the 427 amp on that side looks superb 😘. Some store in Italy
  9. I dunno , here I differ , I’m not crazy about having the internals exposed like that, much like the ampeg 20t, 50t amps . I much rather a traditional ‘cabinet’ and everything enclosed in a sturdy box. Each to their own I guess
  10. I think the Doom rocker and amp repair guy Oli Foxen from Bristol has 2 or 3 of them
  11. I’m Gonna find it really difficult to resist an LB-30 if one surfaces from these NOS builds 😫
  12. Really envious,...just wasn’t meant to be this time. I buy the CTM-30 from you Matty 😂😂
  13. I had one years ago ...prefer separate stomp boxes
  14. Anyone out there have any experience with the AH500-7. I put mine up for sale and then withdrew it when I discovered a slight 'blowing' sound from it , also the foot switch seems to have packed in (it lights up and everything but does nothing)
  15. I picked up the Spyder 550 there a few months ago so I’m good for spyders for the time being 😅
  16. If I wasn't already drowning in amps Id have your hand off, this is a bargain!
  17. Has the regular CTM30 been discontinued? They’re as rare as hens teeth , really like the look of them . I know everyone’s raving about the little stubby but I think I like the classic vibe of the old one.
  18. Hi Folks I'm selling my Harley Benton '51 P Bass on the for sale section, just not getting enough use of of my bass. Its a great playing and sounding bass I'm just not crazy about the pick up position. The frets were dressed etc.
  19. Yeah I was really pleasantly surprised, the only “fault” I could find was the frets just weren’t finished at all. A local luthier sorted these and now it plays great. Big fat old school neck . I know people recarve the headstock to get the telebass head but I’m not into that . Again this was an impulse buy and Not really getting played .
  20. It is a monster and built like a tank I won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t sell to be honest 😢.
  21. No offers below the asking price As new Harley Benton Precision bass. Mint. Set up and frets dressed , polished etc by Polmac luthier In Youghal, Cork. Plays like a dream , traditional big fat pbass neck , satin finish . Basswood body, maple neck . I realize they retail for £90 ish + shipping on Thomann, but this has had another £30 spent getting the frets decent (were a bit sharp out of the box) no horror stories under the scratch-plate either, finish is continuous. Pickup is decent and has powerful thumpy output . This bass is fantastic for the money and gig ready for any level of player. Surplus to requirement for me. Will include a padded Stagg. gigbag. Small blemish on pick guard
  22. The Bugera with the 3 valve preamp was one I would consider 🤔
