eubassix Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Ashdown ABM300-C115 Combo One of the original Ashdown (UK) 300W rms combo amps with a 15" speaker (+ tweeter/horn). It's the earlier model with the retangular (indented/concealed) handles. Still performing well and very clean & unmarked considering the age. All the (myriad of) controls and features / FX work still perfectly (including the VU Meter and the Sub / Octave effect!!). Just a few nicks in the tolex and small wear marks here and there - photos are accurate (recent). The 15" speaker performs well throughout the range and is great for bottom-end and when using the Sub-effect. It has a very full smooth sound. The fan makes a bit of noise but it doesn't effect the sound of the amp. Specs/Features:(1) Front-Panel - H/L input channels + Vol., Meter Level, Clean-grind + in/out (Tube distortion - not at all bad, if you like that sort of thing!), EQ in/out, SUB (Octave) in/out + Mix, D.I. pre-post EQ, Mute Button, Output (Vol.), EQ = B + M + T plus 4x intermediate slider controls (one rubber button missing). (2) Rear Panel - 2x Speaker outputs, Mute F/s for Output & Sub, Line Input L & R + level, FX send & return. Fan. Specs from the Ashdown website (for the evo-II) Power Output (RMS) 325W Power Requirement 230 / 115V Speaker Configuration 1 x 15" bass driver Frequency Response -3dB at 17Hz and 30kHz Speaker Outputs Minimum impedance 4 Ohms High Instrument Input Impedance 3.9m Ohms, input range 150mV - 20mV p-p Low Instrument Input Impedance 10k Ohms, input range 300mV - 40V p-p Line Input Impedance 22k Ohms, input level 0dBu nominal Sub Output Impedance 1k Ohms, level 0dBu Nominal DI Output 600 Ohms balanced, level 0dBu nominal Tuner Output Impedance 22k Ohms, level 0dBu nominal EQ Bass +/-15dB @ 45Hz Middle +/-15dB @ 660Hz Treble +/-15dB @ 7kHz shelving Slider 1 +/-15dB @ 180Hz Slider 2 +/-15dB @ 340Hz Slider 3 +/-15dB @ 1.3kHz Slider 4 +/-15dB @ 2.6kHz Shape (Push Flat) +8dB @ 50Hz & 4kHz, -8dB @ 400Hz, filter slope - 6dB/octave Effects Send Impedance 22k Ohms, level 0dBu nominal Effects Return Impedance 22k Ohms, input level 0dBu Nominal H x W x D (mm) 587 x 610 x 335 Weight (kg) 26 Link: [url="http://www.bassemporium.com/item.php?sku=ABM115COMBO"]http://www.bassemporium.com/item.php?sku=ABM115COMBO[/url] Price £295 + Courier (should be around £25 hopefully.

franzbassist Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Lovely bit of kit at a great price. There's the matching Ashdown 1x15 on eBay at the mo for £100 BIN - could make someone a fantastic rig for not that much dosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eubassix Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Now ON-HOLD .. pending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eubassix Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 No longer ON-HOLD as the promised payment (Friday) has not materialised + no reply to PM's since (!!!!) Frustrating, as it's been on-hold for a week when potentially interested & genuine BC'ers might have bought. £295 + (so approx. £320 with Courier).

Guest MoJo Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I was seriously interested in this, but it was 'on hold' at the time. Ended up buying a Trace 300w 12 band 2x10 combo which I'm very happy with. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also surprised that it hasn't gone - but possible sales were missed early-on due to a total timewaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matte_black Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Unfortunately these things happen but you have good taste for basses and amps. The right buyer is out there, you just need to be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
