I found this on ebay. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ashdown-400w-Bass-Magnifier-Head-with-300w-Ashdown-Cab_W0QQitemZ250203097258QQihZ015QQcategoryZ58719QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]Ashdown amp[/url] It's an Ashdown Bass Magnifier according to the auction (and the front of the amp), but it has a control panel akin to that of a ABM. Oh, hold on a second. Everything's just come together. Does ABM = Ashdown Bass Magnifier? It's not one of the Mag heads that's fo' sho'.

Indeedy do. One of the original range of ABMs I would say. 400W and 200W heads and combos.

The first 200 units were called Klystron Bass Magnifier, but the name was changed after legal issues I believe. My old 200w combo is one of these. Must be a vintage classic collectable now... :) :huh:

Well maybe one day!
