Ashdown RM 500 Evo Rig £650 or trade for Mark Bass Head/Cabs/Combo - *WITHDRAWN* £750 Wirral

[Grezza 1]

Ashdown RootMaster Evo 500 rig with cab covers, includes RM Evo 500 head, RM115T and RM210T

Head recently cleaned and serviced at Ashdown workshop.

I’ve owned this for a few years now but it has only ever been used for rehearsals since I’ve had it. 
Only selling as I’m moving on to using a MarkBass setup and need the funds to expand this (hence the trade options) can ship uk at buyer’s expense and risk. 
 

 THE BLURB
The Rootmaster EVO series’ pre amp now includes a passive and active input jack socket for use with high and low output instruments, this sets a clear signal path to the input control enabling you to fine tune your input level using the trademark Ashdown VU meter. With the signal at its optimal level, you then hit the rich features designed enhance your tone, such as the shape button, 5-band EQ and on-board compressor. The drive control, as always delivers a delectable valve emulated over-drive, whilst the sub harmonic controls add further fatness to your tone - both can be foot-switched via an FS 2 footswitch (sold separately).

Rootmaster EVO heads also feature an upgraded power section plus a handy mute button. What’s even cooler is when switched to mute, the trademark Ashdown Engineering VU meter changes from orange to cool blue – creating the perfect on stage mood lighting between sets.

Now £650 or trade for Mark Bass Head/Cabs/Combo !

Why the downgrade to Markbass? Seriously though, Ashdown service is superb, Markbass almost non-existent. I would stick with Ashdown.

Interesting thoughts… why do you favour Ashdown, just for their after service? (which I agree is top notch)

or for other reasons too?

I’m genuinely interested in people’s thoughts, as I’ve only borrowed MB gear for rehearsals and have liked what I’ve heard.

Feel free to let me know 👍
