police squad Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 So I pulled the trigger. I am about to leave my pub band and it only leaves me to do Police gigs which won't be very many but I just fancied this new Ashdown as a change from my Ampeg PF-500 Hopefully I'll love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestPoetry Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I've used that head and combo numerous times. Seems to be a staple of many practice spaces. While I'm hardly the world's number one Ashdown fan, (give me Trace/Ampeg/Tech21 any day), that one? Absolutely loved it. Very tasty overdrive for when you want some dirt, and a nice useable compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) That sounds like a good deal to me. Edited December 21, 2018 by stevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Pretty sure there are some extra goodies from Ashdown if you email in your receipt if bought within 23-26th November period. Free headphones, in-ears etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 A couple of places have them around that price today - imo it’s a steal, the Rootmaster range is one of the hidden gems in the amp world, though getting a bit more well known recently.

Lozz196 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Given that these are half the weight of the original I`m really tempted to get one and offload my original one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

police squad Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 I still haven't received my amp but the courier didn't have all the address it needed and then I was away. (it should be waiting for me today) But I found out Ashdown had their own black Friday event and it was a free gift if you bought either one thing or another. Turns out I qualified for a free set of their Bluetooth in ear meters buds, worth about 90 quid Nice work Ashdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you did, I should have re-read it lol I would do a New Amp day thread but unfortunately it is faulty and being returned for a new one. Sounds mighty fine when working properly though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Let me know what you make of the headphones. I have a pair of wired M-Ears and was wholly underwhelmed at first. All the ear bud sizes supplied were useless -they kept falling out and to top it off the sound was terribly thin and lacked any bass. So I bought some nice memory foam ear buds and lo and behold they sound quite marvellous now. And don’t fall out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
