guybrush threepwood Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) Ashdown 1x15 combo, featuring the highly regarded Spyder amp. This is also one of the first released, and is built in the UK. Beautiful sounding hybrid combo, which really nails the valve feel, I think it sounds a hell of a lot like a fliptop. I've replaced the preamp valves with Electro Harmonix 12AX7s. Moving it on as it's a little heavy for me (due to a shoulder injury), and as I also have an extension cab I want to move to a single speaker setup (I never seem to get to use the two together, it's really loud on it's own). So, I'm looking for £300 ono collected, or trades with amp heads. I'm based near Leicester, and work in Newark during the week. I don't mind delivering for petrol money, or meeting halfway (within reason).

guybrush threepwood Posted November 8, 2012 Author Posted November 8, 2012 Will let this go for £300 this weekend! Otherwise I think I have other plans...
hamfist Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 That is a great price ! I'm currently trying out a Spyder 550 .... great, great amp.
guybrush threepwood Posted November 8, 2012 Author Posted November 8, 2012 Cheers man! I think if it doesn't sell, I might ask someone to build a sleeve for the amp... I do love the tone - so thick sounding!
franzbassist Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Seriously? Why is this still here? That's an incredible deal for the head, let alone a combo!!!!!!
guybrush threepwood Posted November 10, 2012 Author Posted November 10, 2012 Haha, unfortunately I think Christmas may be looming!
guybrush threepwood Posted November 16, 2012 Author Posted November 16, 2012 On eBay bump. I'll still take lower offers on here though.
