*** Now SOLD *** Hi Folks, Due to using my Mesa Boogie gear so much for live work, and having finally finished a recording project I was using this on, up For Sale is my Ashdown CTM100 all valve bass amp. I'm looking for £SOLD for it, which I think is a fair price given the cheapest I can find one new online is £1,149 at The Gallery in London. (Please note that this is not one of the UK built models, hence why I've priced it as I have.) I bought the amp about 3 years ago (during the first lockdown break) from another Basschat member, Dan (who's BC name escapes me, sorry) and I know from him that it did belong to @Mertonat one time, so it has a bit of a Basschat pedigree to it's name! I would describe the exterior condition of the amp as 'good' , though it's clearly been used, as the photos show. In terms of the electronics of the amp, everything works as it should and there are no issues with it. The amp sounds fabulous and offers a lot of tonal variety, as this online review explains so well... "... this head delievers, and does not leave you searching for more. From the tube saturation, and warm heavenly tone of this head, that sits so well in a band mix. The only thing youll be searching for is more time to play it." Links/reviews https://youtu.be/KqfjMLGwo90 https://youtu.be/r_eDTYmESRQ https://youtu.be/WN9vaSR6QG0 This is a great amp and is priced to sell to someone who I hope will make good use of it. Please note that the G&L bass and Aguilar cab shown in the photos aren't for sale. They're there for decorative purposes only... 😁 Collection from Potton, Central Bedfordshire much preferred but I'm also happy to drive up to an hour from my location to do a classic 'Basschat meet up' somewhere mutually convenient. As an absolute last resort, fully insured shipping is possible at buyers expense and risk, if that's the only way to get a deal done. Trials welcome here in Potton and there will be plenty of tea/coffee on tap for you whilst you test the amp out with your own cab and bass (if that's what you would prefer?). Any questions, please ask here or send me a PM. Thanks for looking. 👍😊 Cheers Nik TECH Spec, reviews etc: "The CTM-100's signal path is all valve - even the D.I and effects loop are driven by valves - so even if you are taking an audio feed from the D.I or effects loop send, there's nothing but valve tone being fed. Choose your instrument input and away you go: high and low inputs tackle any input gain issues you have from low or high output instruments. The 'low' input is for instruments with a low output. What is also interesting is that the inputs are also impedance matching. This is important, more so for passive basses, and put simply, helps to ensure you get the best tone from your instrument to the signal path under that cool exterior. When it comes to tonal options, well there's quite a lot to get through! The first thing I should mention though, is that the EQ knobs and related push buttons are all fairly interactive due to the use of passive circuitry. The 'mellow' button for example essentially reconfigures the EQ curve on each of the controls, giving you a smoother bass sound with less aggressive top end and to me what sounds like a resultant boost in the low mids. With it engaged, all of the controls react differently – so it is not just a narrow mid boost. This is something to take in to consideration when trying out this amplifier. Similarly, the Deep and Mid shift controls actually seem to change the range of adjustment in the Bass and Middle controls too. Again, being passive, the tone controls are more subtle than say that of the EVO heads with active boost and cut across a 'graphic equaliser'. Some will love this, others will prefer more dramatic tonal changes. The inherent tone of the valve head is there to stay though and it is good. Deep and rounded and almost bell like in the chime of my low notes."

Hi @Lfalex v1.1 Yes, the 12" driver is wired up and it has a magnet, as can be seen in the picture above (it's the one above the picture of the crossover?). There a downward facing ABR in my Mesa Boogie Walkable combo, and my old Celestion Ditton 15s hifi speakers had passive ABRs in them, so I'm familiar with that technology. But in this Schroeder cab, all the drivers are wired up.

What a fabulous array of preamps! Very tempted by that TC Electronic 1144, especially as it used to be mine and I know just how good it is.... GLWTS Mike 👍😊

A question I ask myself often..... Or should I say, daily! 😂

🤔 I think it might have been me you sold it to.... 🙄 So I'm a complete and utter barsteward on two counts! 😂 But thanks for the glowing review of these cabs.. They are very, very good!

Weekend BUMP for this awesome cab!

Thanks @Lozz196 I don't know what the science is behind Schroeder cabs, but they do seem to work really well..

Hi Folks, Schroeder 21012L 1000w, 4 ohm Bass Cab, with fitted Hotcovers padded cover, for sale at £SOLD . Schroeder cabs are hand built to the highest quality by Jorg Schroeder in the USA and you would be looking at somewhere around $1,000, plus import & shipping costs to buy a new and equivalent model. This is the lightweight 4ohm cab rated at 1,000 watts. As can be seen in the photos, it's loaded with two front mounted 10” drivers and a 'folded' 12” neodymium driver, plus a 200w titanium bullet tweeter (adjustment for the tweeter is mounted on the rear input plate). The cabinet weighs approx 49lbs (23kilo). Dimensions = 60 cms x 62 cms x 42 cms. Input is either via standard jack or by neutrik twist connector. Also included is a heavily padded HotCovers cover (over £50 new). The cab is working perfectly - drivers, horn and electronics are all good and doing what they should. I would describe the exterior condition of the cab as 'good' , though it's clearly been used, as the photos show. I bought this at the start of the year on Facebook and have enjoyed using it at rehearsals and gigs where it's performed admirably; it's loud and punchy, and the unique design means it fills the room with ease! However, I’ve decided to put it up for sale as I want to go back to using bass cabs with ceramic magnets, as I just prefer the tone of them for some reason (even though that means carrying around a cab that's a lot heavier than this one). I know that makes me a Luddite, but hey - I can live with it! 😁 Anyway, enough of my foolishness... This is a great cab and priced to sell to someone who I hope will make good use of it. Collection from Potton, Central Bedfordshire much preferred though fully insured shipping (at buyers expense) is not totally out of the question if that's the only way to get a deal done. And I'm also happy to drive up to an hour from my location to do a classic 'Basschat meet up' somewhere mutually convenient. Trials welcome here in Potton and there will be plenty of tea/coffee on tap for you whilst you test the cab out with your own amp and bass to your heart's content. Any questions, please ask here or send me a PM. Thanks for looking. 👍😊 Cheers Nik

Another beautiful bass Brian - where do you find them? Looks cool as 'f'.... 😎 And probably sounds just as good with those upgraded pick ups! GLWTS

😂 It certainly is!

Wow - what a transformation! That looks fantastic @carlsim 👏👏 Just want to say that these basses are amazing - the passive tone alone is superb! I don't know what it is Xotic put in those pick ups, but it's bloody good stuff.. 😁 GLWTS 👍

Lovely looking /sounding bass, and a great For Sale advert too... GLWTS 👍

Wow - really sorry to hear about your accident and the struggle to heal afterwards, @Clarky! Sending you some positive vibes for the sale and for your recovery.. 🙏 GLWTS 👍😊
