PENDING: Ashdown Little Bastard price drop - *SOLD* £350 Horley, Surrey

[Merton]

SOLD
 

For sale only - no trades. Selling because I’ve just picked up a gorgeous Handbox WB100 and don’t need two valve heads. You could argue this is a home practice head and the WB is for gigs but I have two modern Trace Elliot heads as well, so it makes sense for this to be the amp to make way. 

 

So what is it? A lovely all valve head, designed in the UK by the Ashdown boys. This is a PRC-made model but having owned a UK-made one before there is no difference between them. I bought this in 2015 I think and it’s been at home in my music room ever since. It has been out of the house about 3 times in that period and has never put a foot wrong. There’s a slight rattle from the chrome front panel when you get loud but that’s it.

 

If you don’t know what it sounds like, it can do nice and creamy valve tones at low volume or get very barky and angry as you push it hard. Give it a sensitive cab and it’s perfectly giggable with a sensible band and stage volume.

 

This will be supplied with a Roqsolid cover and an IEC mains cable.

 

UK mainland only - delivery included in the price. If you want to collect or arrange a local meet around South East Surrey/West Sussex/Kent/East Sussex then we can negotiate

I've played through this amp and can confirm that it sounds lovely.

Had one years ago and the best tone ive ever probably had.  Since i sold mine ive bought a barefaced cab and cant help wondering if i could get away with one of these for live gigs.  Have a bump for a top amp

Bump for the price drop

I had one too and completely agree. I sold it as I needed the space back this and the cab took, but up there with the biggest regrets musically ever. Good luck with the sale.

How do these differ from the CTM30?

[Merton]

Exterior design-wise obviously a different vibe, as far as I know the only electronic difference is that the CTM30 has a gain control as well

[Merton]

That being said, some CTM30s seem to exist without a Gain control so who the hell knows 😂
