chiSEERKIND Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Here we go again, trying to peddle my wares on here. Ashton BV300 head, 300w KT88 head... all valve preamp. Amazing value for the money at less than a quid per valve watt! It is also very close to the Eden E300T (if you believe some of the theorists, its simply a low price rebranding of the Eden!). Really clean sounding amp. Complimented by a decent drive pedal (If thats your bag !). Has fender style cut only preamp and manages to retain that old school tone and feel. There are the odd scuff and scrape in the tolex, as would be expected from travels in the van, but otherwise, rest of the amp is clean. Benefits from individual bias points for each KT88 so buying matched triples or sextets aren't an issue anymore. Currently running EHX KT88s, EHX 12ax7, 2x EHX 12at7 and 1x EHX 12au7 Phase Inverter. The valve must be almost worth the price alone. Only selling due to finding an SVT II (non pro) for a song, so this one has to trot down the road i'm afraid. Trials of the head are welcome and expected. Link to pics of the internals (Cheers Mr Foxen) [url="http://ampstack.wordpress.com/2011/12/04/ashton-bv300-guts-cheap-modern-300w-valve-amp/"]http://ampstack.word...300w-valve-amp/[/url] Its the head on the right (Atop the 4x15) in the My Rig pic. [attachment=111289:my rig.jpg] will try and get more pics sorted soon, in the meantime a google search brings up some good ones anyway. Also.. VTypeV4 has done a little review of his BV300. find it here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/176021-ashton-bv300-all-valve-300w-bass-head/"]http://basschat.co.u...300w-bass-head/[/url] Cheers all!

Pow_22 Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Always fancied a go of one of these. Great price that too for a KT loaded all valver. Sure this wont be around long
RandomBass Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 hi where are you based? I cant see on the mobile version of this site. Cheers Geoff
chiSEERKIND Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 Hi RandomBass... based over in Bath... However, the head is to be considered SOLD PENDING THE USUAL
RandomBass Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Ah ok that went quickly, which is no surprise. Cheers Geoff
chiSEERKIND Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 G-G-G-Gone everyone! Thanks for the interest! Hope its gone to a good home!
PURPOLARIS Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 It has gone to a good home Chi no worries on that front. I bought this amp for a very good price and a cheap way to get into playing through a valve amp. This hasn't been bought by me to sell on for profit on Evil bay, it's been bought to play. If I don't get on with it and ever decide to sell it, it will be sold on this site for no more than I bought it for.
KennysFord Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Good stuff Dude, I missed this by a few minutes so If you do decide to part with it then I'll more than likely buy it. Cheers.
chiSEERKIND Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 And the world gets a little better! Hope you enjoy it man, and it looks like kennyrodg is going to be pestering you for first refusal!
