grenadilla Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) This amp is supposed to be available in April and cost about $830 at Musician's Friend. It looks exactly like the Little Bastard 550 with the Mibass550 power stage but costs less. Does anyone know about this amp? Is it a Spyder550 in a different box? It has an ABM 550 power stage.

franzbassist Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The LB550 has been around a couple of years. LB30 twin valve preamp stage with a digital power section. I haven't seen a version with the ABM power stage and there is no sign of this in the new Ashdown Valve range, so I suspect there's some confused shop marketing going on here.

grenadilla Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yes, I think the only LB 550 is the one with the MiBass power stage. Musician's Friend no longer list it. That means I will go for the ABM 500 Evo 3 and the ABM 610. With about 20db's of treble boost available , it won't be wooly [I hope ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good pedal for drive (if you want it) and you're set ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
