Japhet Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Ashdown mini cabs for sale. I bought these some time back off ebay. The 1x15 had been loaded with a 300 watt Celestion, and inspite of assurances to the contrary, all 4 Blueline drivers in the 4x8 were completely knackered and seized. I therefore replaced these with 150 watt Celestions (to give 600 watt handling) which give the whole setup a really nice 'warm' sound. I've used a Trace SMX head and more recently a Genz Benz Streamliner and both not only sounded great but also achieved some very impressive volumes. Bearing in mind that I play with one extremely loud guitarist and another one who has to try to keep up, it was no mean feat to be heard in the mix. These cabs did it with loads of headroom. I've thoroughly enjoyed having these cabs and they have been invaluable where venue size dictates that the bass player ends up wedged in a corner adopting a Bill Wyman pose to avoid involuntary window removal with the headstock or tangling with the drum kit. For cabs with such a minimal footprint they move some serious air. Cabs are generally in good condition with just the odd tiny nick in the covering and no other damage. 1x15 weighs about 20Kg (I think) and 4x8 is a bit more. I have now gone down the 2x12 Neo route. Halving the number of trips to set up gear is just too tempting with my advancing years. I'm asking £300 for the pair (collected) which I think is good value (and am not fussed about keeping them either). Courier would be extra but am happy to discuss meeting up. I'm near Cambridge.
