£100 for a wooden box with a few holes and and Ashdown logo anybody?

[phil_the_bassist]

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.

[joegarcia]

The seller is 'hookys6stringbass'. Don't we have a member of that name?

[joegarcia]

Yup, and going by the item location, think it's probably the same chap.

[Kev]

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

[Musky]

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.

[DirkThrust]

Ah but it's not just an empty box. It's a PROJECT innit

[The Funk]

it's a funky side table with space for your remote controls

[LukeFRC]

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

IMHO, I'd consider it for £50 tops...any more than that and I'd start getting a few more funds together and make myself a BFM cab!

[Protium]

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"

for me, a tenner, but somebody who needs it for a spare speaker they have or sumit, i guess around 40 or 50. its just a bit of cheap wood with an ashdown logo on it.

At least it's made of plywood and not chipboard like the MAG boxes

[ped]

I think the price is completely reasonable, personally!

but Ped, you only think that cos you're wrong, so there.

[TheDarkReaver]

£70 for a starting price? Should of started lower.

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!

I accept your duel good sire!

What'll it be, pistols at dawn, claymores at Tea, .45 revolvers at high noon, or the Deliverence theme at dinnertime
*tunes up banjo, and informs kidnapped cityslicker to "squeel like a piggy" cos they've got a "real purdy mouth, yukyukyuk!" and trims all 11 fingernails in preparation*?

Come Git Some!


*edit*

I do believe we're officially O.T., ATM

To be honest I would probably just blow you away at the bash, public execution stylee.

Might buy this cab to put your carcass inside and punt it back on eBay for a tenner ;0)

Do you blow everyone at the bash? I might go!

Ped, you could always 'pop a hat in his bottom', as I believe those chaps 27 Pence or Scoopy Dogdog would say.
