  1. Ashdown C110 evo 2 combo

    This is one of the earlier Ashdown Evo 2 300 watt 1x10 combo which I believe was manufactured in the UK.

    This will give you 150watt into the combo speaker or 300watt if you add another 8 ohm cab. It will cope well in a practise situation or small gigs. I have gigged it with a mini 4x8 and it was great.

    there are some scratches on the corner pieces but apart from that the condition is very good.

    No issues, no noisy pots, the light on the vu needs a tap sometimes but thats it.

    Would prefer to meet up deliver rather than trust a courier.

    Comes with fitted cover

  2. Theres nothing to stop you getting your cabs recovered. Look up Zilla cabs, they have a big range of different coverings and fret cloth.
    I am equally shallow and I sent them my brand new fender bassman 100t and Cab about 2 weeks after they arrived. They changed the covering from Black to cream and I had fronts made in oxblood and another in wheat.
    Probably not what you want but thet did a cracking job. and I am really please how they turned out

  3. If it is V3 its a single valve and about £10 from Watford valves
    the 4 big valves in there are output valves which normally need balancing but the Fender circuit is supposed to balance it
    Check the back for the green lights. If they are all in the green the output valves are ok
    Try in the the vintage and the modern channels, if no sound praobably the pre amp valves are ok
    How long have you had it, I think there is 3 months warranty on valves.
    Where are you? Are you able to take it in to Gak, they might have a spare valve to check if that is the problem
    I am not a technician, its just what worked for me and I dont want to lead you down the wrong path
    VALVE AMPS HAVE BIG VOLTAGES BE CAREFULL IF YOU TAKE THE BACK OFF

  4. I have one of these, its fantastic
    There is some really good information in the manual on trouble shooting.
    I had a very similar problem caused by a faulty valve in position v3 which is a 12AT7

    PROBLEM: Signals are present and working normally in the PREAMP
    OUT {W} and XLR (PRE position) {AA} jacks -AND- Automatic Bias
    display {T} shows all output tubes are good (solid green LEDs), but
    the Power amplifier lacks power and punch, sounds different than
    normal, or produces no sound from speaker or no signal is present
    from XLR (POST position) jack {AA} in ‘SILENT RECORD’ mode.
    SOLUTIONS: Power amp driver tube V3 (12AT7) has failed. Replace
    V3 with a new tube.

    I had to do this after half a dozen gigs and its been fine ever since.

    As an aside, Its 40 odd years since I last had a valve amp, it runs to me very hot but fender says this is normal and the fan doesnt cut in untill its almost at nuclear melt down temperature.

    I've done a search on the forum and understand that people are very happy with them. I also read that Mark doesn't do sunburst. Does anyone have a Limelight bass that isn't aged though?

    Why dont yoiu ask him?

  6. For years I have logged on to Basschat and gone straight to new content
    For the last 3 days I have been told there is no new content
    I think its when I tried to follow an ad in classified
    Can someone point an old fogey in the right direction

  7. Fantastic really enjoyed it although 1 3/4 seemed a bit mean compared to mccartneys 2 3/4 last week

    that bloke pino is awesome. He was playing a red precision but with a humbucker, and what looked like a t bird pickup. Zak Starkey does a fantastic job as well.

    Thanks to Chimike for standing in so I could go. He is a great player so I'm sure he will have done a great job

    Get some handles on it. Couriers like being able to pick it up comfortably with one hand, if it needs to be picked and carried with two hands there's more chance of it getting dropped and/or put down roughly.

    Whenever I package large amps or some cabs, I always leave a handle poking out.

    Great bit of advice
