A couple of years old and done maybe 20 gigs. Great mixer and a lot of features for the money. For sale due to upgrade. £175 posted within the UK in original (slightly tatty) packing. 16 channels, 2 independent FX channels with inbuilt FX, 2 Aux, monitor out, recording out via USB or phono, independent Phantom Power, HPF on each channel, rack mount kit. Excellent condition. Good video here explains some the features well:

One Transmitter sold - price reduction to £45 Great little system but I've upgraded. Had two transmitters both programmes to the receiver which means you have a backup if you suddenly need one. Receiver has velcro incase you want to mount it on a Pedal Board. Good condition and fully working. Only defect is that the transmitter door is missing a locating lug but still fits perfectly. £75 posted within the UK.

Still sitting unused and so still available! Have a new desk on the way so needs to go!

Unused bass gig bag. £15 delivered in the UK.

Lots of light for not much cash!! Three iColour 4 lamps with DMX Controller, three heavy duty tripods and one T Bar, plus a sound-to-light Blowstar mushroom light. The iColours can be linked using standard XLR cables and all controlled with the DMX controller for individual colours, blackout, flashing pattern, dimmed etc. The mushroom is sound to light with adjustable threshold. Includes a flightcase for two of the iColours and the others two lights have their original boxes. All is full working order and very good condition. Collection from Chelmsford, Essex.

Reluctant sale of another great rig, but I've fully gone IEM and haven't used an amp in over a year, so keeping my ABM's for the rare occasion when I need one but otherwise all my amps/cabs are up for grabs to raise funds for a new mixing desk and clear some much needed space! Head is a Spyder 550w and one of Ashdowns gems. Kind of a mix between an ABM and a CTM and it's a monster head. As per the pics it is well gigged with various scuffs and the handle has seen better days, but the fascia is perfect and it's in full working order. The 410 cab is an RM414 which is the 4ohm version so you can use the full power of the head without needing another cab. It's got a couple of small tears in the tolex (previous owner) but overall in very good condition and has been kept in its Vinyl Hot Cover in my ownership. It's a very reasonable 26.5kg according to my scales and is slightly slimmer that a lot of 410 cabs which makes it fairly easy to move and transport. Collection form Chelmsford, Essex.

Reluctant sale of a really great rig, but I've fully gone IEM and haven't used an amp in over a year, so keeping my ABM's for the rare occasion when I need one but otherwise all my amps/cabs are up for grabs to raise funds for a new mixing desk and clear some much needed space! This is a super lightweight head packing 500w. A couple of very minor scratches on top from transport, but otherwise excellent condition. Ashdown don't make the 500w version of this anymore (suspect it might have been competing with the RM heads a bit too much!), but it's a really powerful head for such a small amp. The specs can be found here and the current 300w version retails for £440 alone. https://ashdownmusic.com/products/original-500h The cab is a one off prototype that Ashdown made. They ended up going for 110's for this range in the end but I think this is a great cab. I'm told has two 300w 8ohm Sica drivers that are wired to 4ohm and 600w power handling. It's robust but not too heavy - about 18kg according to my bathroom scales. It has a top handle that makes it really easy to move about. Has a few scuffs and minor marks from use but overall in very good order. It has a very small footprint and huge sound for a 210 rig. I've used this rig in large pubs and it's held its own without PA support, but the head has a DI out if you need it. Collection from Chelmsford, Essex.

Interested if you would reconsider posting!

PM incoming!

Yep sorry, will update the listing

Now on eBay

Very lightly used, for sale as I want to get a pedalboard mounted unit instead. Excellent condition with all the accessories. £120 collected from Chelmsford or £125 posted via Parcelforce. Will be going on eBay on Monday as I have a sellers fee offer but thought I'd offer on here first incase a BC member is interested!!

Total bargain and excellent basses!! I don't need another one though .... do I .....???

Oh my... 😍

Bargain!!! GLWTS 👍

Possibly Ashdown's most underrated amp, the 550 is an absolute monster. As near to a valve amp as I've ever experienced - it is blooming close to the tone of my CTM300! Basically all the same EQ and switching, with a dual valve premap but then with a SS power section. I used this extensively last year when I was playing mainly rock and blues and absolutely loved it, but doesn't really suit my current band so much who are more pop/funk oriented and I am limited with space so tend to use small amp and IEM's so this is sitting unused. It is well gigged and has some scuffing to the tolex, but otherwise is in very good order. With no missing transfers and no damage to the chrome. Reluctant sale but need to thin the herd and raise some funds. Collection from Chelmsford, Essex or would possibly post at Buyers Cost/risk. Feel free to ask if you have any questions - thanks for looking!

Rare chance to buy an immaculate Ashdown ABM500 from 1997/1998. I picked this up as a package with some 408 cabs last year and it hardly looks used internally or externally. I've had it cranked up in the studio through two 408's and it sounded glorious and worked perfectly. Amongst the very first built and Handmade in the UK - I'm loathe to let this go but I also can't bring myself to gig it incase it gets damaged and so I always fall back to my ABM600 when space allows for a big amp. I need to downsize my amp collection and raise some funds so letting this and a few other bits go. Collection from Chelmsford, Essex or could potentially post at Buyers Cost/Risk. Hard to value this as there are so few about like it. The current 25th Anniversary Reissues are £1300, so £350 for the real deal feels like a bargain 😂. It's certainly a cut above most of the battered and bruised ABM's that you can pick up for a few hundred pounds. Feel free to ask for more pics or details. Thanks for looking!

Sold on Facebook

I may be venturing into the midlands to pick up a Sterling 5 in the next couple of weeks. If that helps you or anyone else who is interested then I'd happily discuss a meet up!

I honestly haven't had any neck dive issues with this or my other v7 or V3 5 string even on a basic webbing strap. I find them pretty evenly balanced and comfortable to play and I gig them weekly 👍

Good question! It's coming in at 4.8kg according to my bathroom scales. String spacing at bridge is approx 18mm which I also forgot to say 😁
