Id love that Ashdown head - anyone want the hartke cabs and fancy goin in on a deal?

All Gone Cheers Peeps

Would get it fixed up but the only reason i bought it was that i ha a big old vintage valve rig and the combo was for smaller gigs/rehearsals. Downsized to a hybrid Ashdown now that is small enough for all needs. As such the carlsbto is just takin up space. Rennie has PM'd so on hold for now

Had this in the for sale section at £30. However, the combo has since developed a fault that may or may not be easily fixable. Basically the volume even at full whack is very low. This used to be a VERY loud 90w combo but the sound now is just very weak. Is bruised and battered with a few of the buttons cracked (they did work fine up until last week). Could just be a loose connection but as i want rid anyway i cant be bothered to get it seen to. As such free to first person who can collect from Didsbury, Manchester.

Kustom is a name ive always associated with catalogue starter packs etc but ive come across this on Thomann... [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/kustom_de610h.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/kustom_de610h.htm[/url] Just wonering if anyone had tried any of the new 'more upmarket' Kustom stuff. Not really in the market for a new cab but always fancied a 6x10 (ideally if Marshall made one to pair with the few of the dirt cheap VBA400's ive seen around!)

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1338311829' post='1672576'] Any & all of these will be up for sale just as soon as the market improves enough to get worthwhile prices. [/quote] Loving the Hiwatt, bet that sounds mean!

As i have an unhealthy obsession with Ashdown i got one of their Bassometer tuners. Its VERY precise and is techncally two tuners in one - the standard Ashdown UV meter acts as a tuner as well as a row of LED's. In the top right is a digital screen that tells you what note your playing. True bypass and i leave mine on once ive set up to act as a mute while my valves warm up until we play. Got mine off the bay for around £40. Some say the downside is the size of them - not a problem for me as i dont use a pedal board (or any other pedals for that matter)

Plus one on the 'buzziness'. When i tried one it sounded so 'fake valve sound'. Kinda like the old kays catalogue guitar amps with the distortion switch. I think OTB's try to nail a valve sound but sound more like an angry bee stuck in an ale can! If you want valve sound you can pick up a Sound City Valve amp for not much more than an OTB

just to sling a great big grenade into the can of worms - what about hybrid amps?
