ern500evo Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Here i have my Ashdown ABM500 Evo RC, the rack mounted chrome front version. It's an early UK built model, with two seperate high/low inputs rather rhan one switchable input like the later models. Also please note that this model does not have the on board compressor. I bought it from a pro from a well known band (well, as long as you're 40ish!)so it was always serviced by Ashdown, and since i've had it it's always lived in a Gator 4U ABS rack unit. I gigged it for several years with no reliability issues whatsoever, and i've heard people say these amps had a lack of volume but i never found it wanting in that department! It's certainly louder into the same cabs as the 500w Warwick tubepath i also had. I've recently changed the Warwick head for a RH450 and it just seems daft to have this as a back up head when it's much heavier than the TC. I'm based in Bristol and have always got cabs in the house so if anyone wants to come and try it out over a cuppa/beer then you're more than welcome. I'd rather not post it tbh but if it fetches the asking price i'm prepared to travel 75 miles (ish) to meet up at no extra cost. I have a 4U Gator abs case for it which also has a Korg DTR2000 in and a power strip, and if anyone wants to take the whole lot together i'll do it for £375. If the amp sells by itself then i'll list those seperately but for now i'll give people the oppoptunity to take them all together. I also have a Warwick WCA411 pro and a Warwick WCA115 pro (both 8ohm) which i'll be putting up an ad for later if anyone is interested in a complete rig. I bought them from a Warwick endorsee and they are pretty much immaculate, the 115 has had minimal use. I'd be looking for £175 for the 411 and £150 for the 115, or £300 for the pair, those prices are fairly firm considering the condition of the cabs. Not looking for any trades thanks as this sale is to finance a lightweight cab to go with the RH450. My apologies for the picture quality but tmy laptop with my camera software on is in being repaired so i've had to use my phone camera. If anyone wants any specific photos just pm me your email address and i'll send you them. Thanks for looking.
