Reggaebass Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I recently got myself an Ashdown lb 30 amp , And I’m loving it, but today after about 2 hours it went slightly quieter and turned itself off , I checked the fuse in the plug and that was fine so I left it about an hour , and have just tried it and it’s turned on fine. Any ideas? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Get in touch with @Ashdown Engineering they're brilliant! They're both brilliant, LB30s and Ashdown Engineering, just to be clear 😃 Edited March 30, 2019 by KiOgon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsmokebass Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Never heard of a bass amp turning itself off, at least nothing that isn't digital Line6/Fender Bronco.... Hope you find out and be sure to post any results on here for anyone else in this situation in future 😁👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilly Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Might be the power valves , how old are they ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how old they are, the previous guy hadn’t used it in 2 years, but since I’ve been using it regularly, it seems to be ok 👌. I contacted Ashdown and they said if it happens again , I can take the amp to them and they will take a look 🙂 Edited April 22, 2019 by Reggaebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 @Quilly thanks for your interest, when I get time I think I’ll get Ashdown to check it over for me anyway, I’m really loving the sound of it though 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hopefully it'll turn out to be nothing. I really would love an LB30 Drophead, I have absolutely no use for one but would love one all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s different alright , cleaner , deeper, having a separate gain and volume makes it a lot more versatile. I’ve played it out doors with no problem. You just have that extra bit of headroom. But I do miss the LB-30. I use an old Carslbro 50w guitar valve head at home just because it sounds so good, plenty of low end for small gigs and the overdrive channel gives the best dirty bass sound I’ve ever heard. BTW the CTM100 is 19kg which isn’t bad at all, well worth a punt. Also check out handbox 120w amp from Poland Edited April 23, 2019 by Quilly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
