CPBassman Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) [b]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120510034072[/b] Im selling my Ashdown UK ABM 500 EVO Head as Ive just bought another Ashdown. Brand new Mains transformer fitted and tested by Ashdown. Serviced regularly. SPEC: The ABM 500 EVO is a 575W RMS bass amp head designed to satisfy both bass purists and tech-heads alike. Three rotary tone controls provide 20dB of cut and boost at 60Hz, 660Hz and 5kHz and are supplemented by two pairs of additional sliders, giving 15dB cut and boost at 180Hz, 340Hz, 1.3kHz, and 2.6kHz. The EQ can be switched on/off and flat/shaped by footswitch, enabling you to go from a flat fretless sound to a boosted sound with ease. A blend of solid state and dual-triode tube preamp stages can be preset and selected by footswitch, providing access to a massive range of clean, warm, and overdriven tones. The footswitchable subharmonic generator precisely tracks the main signal and reproduces it an octave lower. A subharmonic level control lets you add just the right amount of low-end reinforcement-everything from a subtle thickening of the sound to unbridled, bone-crushing tone. The ABM 500 EVO also features a front panel-mounted balanced direct out with pre- or post-EQ switching, a sub-bass output, tuner output, FX loop, and a line input for connecting an external sampler or sound source. Output muting cuts the signal from the direct out but leaves the tuner output live, allowing silent tuning. The power section has faster transient attack, massive headroom, and even less noise. Ashdown ABM 500 EVO Mono Bass Amp Head Features: 575W RMS 7-band EQ Active/Passive input Tube/solid state preamp stages Subharmonic generator adds low-end reinforcement Front-mounted direct output with pre- and post-EQ switching FX loop Tuner output Line in This started life as the powerhouse of the ABM 4 x 10 combo but had to be split due to weight. The head has been professionally re-sleeved by Ashdown. This is an incredible high quality amp with tons of power on tap. You can confidently ignore anything youve heard about woolly Ashdowns, it's all bollox. This beast is the dogs nads!!!! The only reason its for sale is that Ive always had my eye on the Classic Series since they came out as their flagship and Ive now got my hands on a lovely usa Ashdown Combo so this can now move on and make someone else sound great. Its been gigged and has VERY SLIGHT wear to the metal corner pieces (nothing a little smooth black hammerite wouldnt sort)its in excellent condition The combo was £1400 when new so this is extremely reasonably priced. £285 exc p&p Meet up to exchange would be best but we could organise couriers if required Thanks for looking Col Edited December 24, 2009 by CPBassman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theozzy Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 [i]You can confidently ignore anything youve heard about woolly Ashdowns, it's all bollox.[/i] My MKI ABM300 sounds wooly as hell! I'm sure it didn't used to, but after 3 years of storage, mine does through my DB410! Probably needs a service. Speaking of service, CPBassman, how much did Ashdown charge for the servicing of your head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBassman Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 The cost of servicing will depend entirely on what they do, much like a car. If you speak to Guy he'll give you a ballpark figure before proceeding with shipping it back etc. Ive never had any big shocks with costs over the years, excellent service all round. Any takers?? Its a FAB amp is this. Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
