Hey,

Im going to sell this little beauty to put money towards and upgrade.

Bought in 2007, its the mini but mighty Ashdown Superfly 500w head with the matching 2x8 and 1x15 speaker cabs.

to save me doing all the hard work, heres ashdowns own right-up on it.... [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=156"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=156[/url]

I know that its technically a 2x250w head, but the rig for sale will put out the full 500w as its going into 2 4ohm cabs giving you maximum output. The entire rig is pretty much in as new condition, the head has an ashdown padded carry case, and I have 2 speakon to jack leads plus the standard kettle lead to throw in aswell.

I think its worth saying that this little rig has had a 10 string monster bass from bee basses going through it with absolutely no worries, she can handle low F# to high C and sings all the way!

The only place i can find a NEW 1x15 superfly cab in here... [url="http://www.nuloop.com/en/instruments/item/87899/Guitars__bass/ashdown_superfly_115.html?refid=google_products_uk"]http://www.nuloop.com/en/instruments/item/...gle_products_uk[/url]
And its priced at £656, so hey, get in!

These cabs are very very good quality, i know theres some ashdown haters out there, but this rig is a great set-up and i love it, but i need more! I will consider part ex for various other bass amps, but cash is preferrer, im in essex and send me your offers!

Russ.

Hi,

Forum rules require you to state a price unless it's purely for Trade which it sounds like it isn't

Cheers

now on ebay.... heres the description and link... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170563187134&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT[/url]

Hey there,

Up for auction is my Ashdown classic series Supfly rig.

Included in the auction is the 2x250w (500w) Ashdown superfly head, a 500w 2x8" Superfly cab, a 400w 1x15" Superfly cab, 2 jack to speakon cables, 1 power lead and a soft padded case for the Superfly head.

The head is a split 2x250w output through 2 cabs at 4 ohms, which basically means that whens using it with the cabs included in the auction, you'll be able to produce the full 500w of power, and for such a small and portable rig those 500w really packs a big punch!

Right, heres a breakdown of the head, as said its a 2x250w configuration, and on the rear you'll find a D.I. (direct input) with a post/pre switch, a send/return effects loops, a USB input and a MIDI input with a USB/MIDI switch to toggle between the two, a standard line output an AC input and 2 speaker outputs, so if you want versitility, its deffinatly available here!

On the front you'll find the instrument input, the input gain control with LED monitoring, a 7 bar digital LED graphic EQ interface with tweek controls for each bar, allowing you to fine tune your EQ to whatever you choose, it has an EQ bypass and a 'Store' button allowing you to store you favoured EQ as a preset. It also has a compression ratio toggle, so you can edit that element of your sound too. It has an 'edit program' button allowing you to edit a preset, and an exit button to come out of the program editing suite. With the preset controls you can toggle between factory preset EQ's or your own saved EQ settings, it has a signal level dial with LED output monitoring and finally a power switch.

So thats everything to tell you about the head, for such a small beast it does alot right!

The 2x8 cab is matching to the head, its a classic series superfly cab rated at 500w at 4 ohms. The serial number is 25608-0807, it was made in the UK in 2007. Both the speakers are custom Neodymium bass drivers which means for their size they can handle a lot of bass! It has 2 speakon ports at the rear and has a carry handle on its right side and is very easy to carry in one hand, its covering is black tolex and the grill is silver with the superfly logo on it. The cabs condition is very very good, could almost be new.

The 1x15 cab is matching to the head and its brother cab, its a classic series superfly cab rated at 400w at 4 ohms. The serial number is 25816-1997, it was made in the UK in 2007. The speaker is a custom Neodymium bass driver which means for its size it can handle a lot of bass! It has 2 speakon ports at the rear and has 2 carry handles, one on its right side and one on its left. It is heavier than its brother, but I have no issues carrying it in one hand, its covering is black tolex and the grill is silver with the superfly logo on it. The cabs condition is very very good, could almost be new.

The extras are a black padded case for the Superfly head and 2 speakon to jack cables with one power cable. Basically everything you need to get going with a bass of your choice.

Just incase your worried about how to set this up, its very easy, plug both jacks into the speakon ports on the head (yes, jacks do fit into speakon ports!) and then plug each speakon end of the cables into both cabs, its doesnt matter which port they go into, just dont plug two heads into one cab! I also feel it necassery to say that this rig has been used with my 10 string bass, so it can handle low F# (one lower than a B on a 5 string) and a high C (nearly as high as a bottom E string on a guitar) So it can handle anything you throw at it happily!

As a combine unit it will be hard to post, but i will do my best to arrange courier (probably DHL) at your cost, but pick up is deffinatly preferred. I may be able to meet you somewhere not to far from me, Im in south east essex.

Any questions I will do my best to answer, I'm on 07912222127 if you want to discuss.

Thanks, Russ.

I PM'd MB1 back with that, but for anyone else wanting to know i think the minimum i'd take for the pair is £550, they are available new from gear4music at £359 and £349 each (£708 total new) and these boys are in very near mint/new condition. So i think the price is fair.

Im open to offers for trade, but only cabs and head please, if you have a rig you want rid of to downsize, then i may make up the difference with cash.

Cheers!
