Ashdown ABM300

[Toddy]

Hey All,

I've a Ashdown combo that used in anger last night the output dropped to almost zero,,worked when I kicked it, but then repeatedly has this massive volume drop issue all evening, is this a familiar and quick fix?,,Ive only one more gig to do later this week, before it retires anyway,,might have to hire in,,any thoughts?

I had this happen with an Ashdown ABM500 once. I found it was a broken solder connection on the speaker - one of the braided leads going to the voice coil had come adrift. Having said that, there are any number of connections in any amp that can go bad and cause intermittent operation.

If you take it to Ashdown they will fix any problems for you for free.
