Vander Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Selling this rig due to it being surplus to requirements. The cab was bought off here back in the days when it was bassworld.co.uk (and it were nowt but fields round 'ere!) from [i]I think[/i] someone called Rich. It was originally an Ashdown Mag115T but the stock driver was taken out and replaced by what I believe was a Marshall one - and it's now [b]4 ohm[/b] rather than the stock 8. The head is standard Behringer fare, but surprisingly feature-rich for a budget amp. It's got a 5 band EQ, mid-shape, "Deep" and "Bright" switches (low and high mid boosts respectively), FX loop, post-EQ DI and even a built-in octaver (labelled "Ultrabass"). The mid-shape and octaver can be toggled with the included foot-switch. The sound of the amp is surprisingly transparent, and you can get a good range of tones out of the EQ features. The octaver is functional if non-spectacular; it won't manage much below a low A and gives up entirely for chords, but used sparingly can be quite effective. The two used in combination is [b]loud[/b]. The head's been gigged maybe a half-dozen times, and the cab has only been out in public once or twice. There's some damage to the rubber corners (pictured) but that's the only cosmetic damage I can see and everything functions perfectly. This would be a perfect budget buy for someone looking to upgrade from their practice amp to something which pushes enough air for band sessions or small- to medium-sized gigs, depending on how hard your drummer likes to 'it fings wiv sticks. Reason for sale is that 300W through a 1x15 is, shall we say, slight overkill for me pootling in my spare room since I don't play with a band these days. I'm looking for somewhere around [b]£120[/b] for the two in combination, and I'd rather sell them together than separately. That's inclusive of the unpictured footswitch and I'll even be extra-generous and throw in the kettle lead and speaker cable too. Pick-up from Hertfordshire (approximately 35 miles north out of London, right off the M1) preferred. If anyone's extra keen then I'll look into postage.

jjay69 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It may be strange but i rather like those heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vander Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah, I bought it because I was tired of using the standard beaten up (usually Peavey) head that was inevitably supplied in the back-line at gigs and had one sound (and not a very good one) and it's certainly a huge improvement over those. Punches a bit above its weight for the price bracket it was sold in, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vander Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Somebody please take these off my hands - I've got the replacement lined up and everything. Willing to sell the cab separately if that entices anyone. Make me an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornybank Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Snippoid. Talking with my tech yesterday... He has seen very few of these Behringers in for repair. Which suggests...they might be...well built...?!?!?!? Clear production cost/retail value/reliability message in there for Orange, SWR, Eden, Ashdown...
