Bassmonkey Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Just bought an Ashdown Five-Fifteen from a FB seller. Was in good nick but not working. No lights or sound etc. Only wanted £50 and close to me. Would have been worth that as 1 x 15 cab alone. Picked it up. Lovely guy, so had a natter then brought it home. Checked the power socket fuse - blown. Replaced it and it works a treat. Am well happy. The seller admitted it may well have been a blown fuse but wasn't sure. Its is in bl@@dy great nick too. Sorry - just needed to gloat (now off to hide it from my wife) Andy Quote
Donnyboy Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Flog it here and make a huge profit!!!!! Quote
paulconnolly Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Now call me an old softie but if that was me I'd be tempted to call back round with a nice bottle of wine (probably to cover my guilt at getting such a bargain) Quote
Bassmonkey Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 I dropped him a note to explain. He was really nice and seemed pleased as he genuinely hoped it would be a simple fix. He explained was his 3rd backup and couldn't really be fussed to get it fixed. Result. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Makes a change from it setting on fire, good invention the fuse! I sold my Ashdown on Ebay for spares or repairs £1200 amp sold for £275, glad to see the back of it Good bargain though, I have found the cheaper the range the better the sound regarding Ashdown.

Bassmonkey Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 I am just starting an open mike night at a local boozer. Plan is to leave this one there. Cant go wrong at that price. Quote
