Merton Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Bloody hell that's in good nick. No idea what it's worth I'm afraid tho. Also broke, but if you wanna sell for £5 I'll have it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 As its the 150w version, Id say no more than £200 tops. Nice tho!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornybank Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 £200 is about right for their utility adn portability. Demo alongside anything under £500 and it will win on most counts. They are small and they really punch. They stuff an Ashdown 300 and give the 500 a good run for its money. They have the same power supply as the AH300 - difference is number of output transistors. As always with bass stuff, more in = more out, so beefier sounding than the AH300 (which 'needs' that power). Main reliability iissue is the pre/amp cooupler. Fiddly to get at, but a hardwire fix sorts that stupid clip thing they used. After that, it is contact cleaning. I have two very scruffy ones that I wouldn't take less than £125 for.

I bought one recently but haven't been able to compare it with anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
