Rig Update: Traded the Ashdown MAG-300R straight across for an Ampeg B2R!

Ampeg's are always my first choice, and if I can get my hands on one in trade, then I'm on it.

**But, this trade didn't go smoothly, to say the least**

The guy who brought the Ampeg over first tried the MAG through his Eden 115 cab...farted around for awhile, then decided to try his B2R through his own cab again for comparison.

At first, I didn't notice that he had ran the speaker-out from the B2R into the speaker-out from the Ashdown, then pumped the Ampeg up halfway...with no results from the speaker cab! Gee, I wonder why?

His reaction was "Oh sh*t!", and he quickly removed the cord from the Ashdown, plugging it into the Eden cab. A few minutes later, he decides to try the Ashdown again (through the Eden cab, instead of the Ampeg head...), and now...nothing from the speaker.

He tried to walk away from the whole thing, and was going to leave me hanging with a busted amp. I told him point blank that it's either make the trade and fix the problem you've created, or deal with me in small claims court for trashing my new Ashdown...he made the right decision!

Then, after all that, he tries to find out about the current warranty, so he can stick Ashdown with the bill! Not going to happen...goodbye!

Somebody please restore my faith in humanity...oh yeah, BP already did at Open House!

Phweeww! I just had to vent! :mad: :eek: :D
