FS: Ashdown OriginAL 500w Head with Prototype Ashdown OriginAL 600w 4ohm Vertical 210 - *SOLD* £375 Chelmsford, Essex

[MattW]

Reluctant sale of a really great rig, but I've fully gone IEM and haven't used an amp in over a year, so keeping my ABM's for the rare occasion when I need one but otherwise all my amps/cabs are up for grabs to raise funds for a new mixing desk and clear some much needed space!

 

This is a super lightweight head packing 500w.  A couple of very minor scratches on top from transport, but otherwise excellent condition.  Ashdown don't make the 500w version of this anymore (suspect it might have been competing with the RM heads a bit too much!), but it's a really powerful head for such a small amp.  The specs can be found here and the current 300w version retails for £440 alone.

The cab is a one off prototype that Ashdown made.  They ended up going for 110's for this range in the end but I think this is a great cab.  I'm told has two 300w 8ohm Sica drivers that are wired to 4ohm and 600w power handling. 

 

It's robust but not too heavy - about 18kg according to my bathroom scales.  It has a top handle that makes it really easy to move about.   Has a few scuffs and minor marks from use but overall in very good order.

 

It has a very small footprint and huge sound for a 210 rig.  I've used this rig in large pubs and it's held its own without PA support, but the head has a DI out if you need it.

 

Collection from Chelmsford, Essex.

This is basschat - "want" trumps "need" everytime 🤣

Doesn't seem much for a well regarded head and a decent cab.
