bassbiscuits Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) I have a mint-condition Ashdown Classic Series Klystron 575w head. UK-built head. Barely used, still boxed, with four-way footswitch and manual. Sounds great through my Ashdown Mag 8x10 800w cab which I am also selling elsewhere on Basschat. Just too big for my needs (ie mainly small pub gigs!) Looking for around £450 for the head - or about £600 for the head and cab, but open to offers. Pics below and a link to the blurb from the Ashdown website.

bassbiscuits Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 PRICE DROP to £375, but once again open to offers if anyone wants to make one. I should point out this is a recent (2007) UK-made model, not one of the older Ashdowns, some of which were also called Klystrons. It comes with a four-way footswitch, controlling EQ on/off, compression, valve drive and sub-harmonics. All boxed and mint nick. It came direct from Ashdown in 2008 to replace a faulty ABM 500 I had, so it's all tested and good - (I've tried some Ashdowns that in my opinion have been a bit quiet, but this one's definitely a loud one!) I'm based in Leicestershire but willing to deliver within a sensible distance. Cheers 07841 677401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_bass Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 These amps are great! Free bump. If you do buy this amp, I have a custom made cover from roqsolid that you can have for the price of postage. They made the wrong size cover for mine and didn't want it back. been sat in the loft for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky L Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 That is a seriously amazing price for a fantastic amp. I love mine and what ever the Ashdown declaimers say, you can get a pounding noise out of these. Teamed with a P bass, a 15 and 2x10 cab I can easily keep up and out compete the rest of my band, and we are loud! Some one buy it, it's a killer bargain.
