phil_the_bassist Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I was stumbling around Fleabay and came across [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ashdown-ABM-C115-500-Bass-Cab-combo-project_W0QQitemZ160275334226QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160275334226&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]this[/url] and was kinda shocked. No amp, no cone, no nuthin, all for £70 MINIMUM and £30 for postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegarcia Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 The seller is 'hookys6stringbass'. Don't we have a member of that name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegarcia Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Yup, and going by the item location, think it's probably the same chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 if by empty, he means the cab is empty as well as there being no amp, then he's on something and yeah i swear there is a member with that name here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I've seen a few Ashdown combos that have been broken where the amp section sits. A picture of one was posted on here and there's one I've seen at a venue, so maybe it's a bit of a weak spot. If that's the case there might be more people who'd fancy a new cab than you'd expect.

LukeFRC Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 well how much would it cost you to build a cab, cover it with carpet, put a grill on it, tune it and screw inset handles on it? its expensive but not tottally stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protium Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Consider a used (complete) ABM115 cab goes for around £150 minimum. For this you could pick up a decent 15" eminence speaker for about £50, so call it £120 total if you collect the box... If I was in Hertfordshire I'd go for it purely coz my ABM300 head would fit in it and it matches the 4x10" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkReaver Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 £70 for a starting price? Should of started lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 MB1. We're not talking Cheap Chipboard sh*te! here. The Grill on its own without the badge will cost you £30+, the badge is £10+the handles must be at least another £40,the covering isnt cheap either, the cabinet is an ABM Cabinet ..... properly jointed and sealed. This is a STEAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 To be honest I would probably just blow you away at the bash, public execution stylee.
