basskit_case Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) All, Ashdown have a few Little Stubbys up for sale on Reverb: Reverb listing At only £399 worth getting? Edited February 17, 2020 by basskit_case 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I think it’s great price for the amp. I have an “original” LB which I adore but the Little Stubby has something extra with the feedback control which makes it really quite handy indeed. If I didn’t have an LB and CTM100 is probably have bought one by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskit_case Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 The price looks good in comparison to other vendors, up to £200 cheaper. The YouTube videos I have seen for this impress me due to the varied tone capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franzbassist Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I've found an excellent bag to keep the Little Stubby in. The Gator 19" wide DJ Controller Messenger bag. You need to add a thick piece of solid foam to the bottom of the bag inside for the amp to sit on, but other than that it's very good if you don't want a flight case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd have no problem being heard with a 3x10, or indeed any other combination. I like a clean tone so with the gain at noon and the volume between 11 and 1 o'clock it's plenty loud through my Baer 1x12. The more cabs you add the better it'll get 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say 81s and 82s are easy to get and quite cheap, but finding decent 83s takes some looking. I don't pay silly money for them though. I think they change the sound for the better. VIntage Mullards, in fact most old production valves, just have a warmth to them that I don't hear in modern valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chu88y Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I just got one of these from Ashdown on Reverb along with the tweed 112T cab. It sounds really superb. I haven't been able to try it out with guitarist and drummer yet due to the lockdown but that's a lot of the reason I decided to get it now.. the tube fascination... and time on my hands to learn how to use it 🙂. Anyway, so far, as far as I've been able to crank it up at home it's certainly compatible in volume to my Eden 208 180w combo which has always kept up with them in the space we play. I'm very pleased with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very pleased with it. Excellent. I was tempted by the cab too, but in the end went down a different path. I find the bass and feedback knobs have the biggest influence on the tone of the LS. Gain is quite senstive, and there's a big jump in volume with the Master at about 1pm on mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisan2 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 A question for the LS owners. With a trs cable plugged in to a recording console from the LS DI out, and the volume turned down on the amp , but some drive turned up , do you get a signal? With a speaker plugged in of course. ie can it be used as a preamp for silent recording. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chu88y Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 No idea sorry.... I haven't tried that. Will watch the thread out of interest tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisan2 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Well just went and got it its probably not loud enough to gig with (even with a 610) but it’s got great tones Good for studio , home practice will take to the studio on the weekend and report back on the DI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
