2001 Ashdown ABM300 Chrome

[Lifer]

2001 Ashdown ABM 300 (not EVO), one of the rarer (superior!) made in the UK models before manufacturing was moved abroad. Limited edition chrome front.

I bought this amp new from the Bass Centre in '01 and it was my main amp until last year, when I picked up my Fafner and EBS 410.

It has done a fair few gigs and has some scuffs, have shown the worst one. Everything works as it should except the bulb for the VU meter which I choose not to replace when I had it serviced 2 years ago as it's purely cosmetic. Tube blend pot is a bit scratchy when turning but no problems when set.

EQ is very flexible with a combination of dials and sliders to fine tune tone.

Min load 4Ohm
300w/600w peak
Jack speaker outputs
Footswitchable mute, EQ shape and subharmonics (sub level controllable on front, great for adding a bit of thickness or using as an effect)
Line Input
Effects Loop
Input gain w/passive and active inputs
Input mix (12AX7 tube blend)
Push flat
In/out EQ
In/out Sub
Mute switch on front
Tuner out on front
Sub out on front
DI output with pre/post EQ on front.

Very sad to let this go as I've had it for so long and it's never let me down, but new car forces sale.

Demos and cash on collection (Sussex) welcome. Will accept paypal (gift or buyer pays fees) and bank transfer.

Thanks for looking!

Don't believe everything you hear about Ashdowns, the UK built pre-EVO versions are GREAT. I'd have this but have 2 already!

Would love to see some gut shots just out of curiosity. I have an ABM 300 Evo 2 built in UK. Would love to see if the quality slid from what you have to what I have in terms of components and construction.

Thanks
