Little Bastard on sale

You know... I don't really need one but that is a great deal and even with $100 shipping to Canada I probably won't lose money not enjoying it... probably going to order one right now. I have been wanting to try a new amp out.

Anybody know any extra coupon codes while i am at it?
 
Wonder how it compares to, say, the B15N ? Obviously not a led sled at 11 lbs.

I think the B15 had to be the inspiration for the LB. They had a flip top model of the LB!

Cool little head. Many more options in the tone department than the B15, also breaks up much earlier and more often than a B15, and has kind of a softer attack. The LB is a cool little amp. Very nice form factor and features... DI, 4&8 ohm, simple, light, etc. A b15 just kind of sounds good at any setting, the LB takes a little more work.

Dang it. I feel that gas coming on!!! HELP:help:
 
Well there is at least one more sold. (There HERES2U coupon didn't add more discounts)

I am pretty excited, don't know spit about this head but the little bit of Ashdown experience I have had has been good, really looking forward to this trying little guy.

The Little Bastard and B15N are apples and oranges. I've owned a couple of B15's and recently borrowed an LB and gave it a thorough workout in rehearsals with two different bands. The B15 is a MUCH cleaner amp and for me has a higher useable volume. The Little Bastard will definitely be right up some folk's alley but it's much too dirty for me playing with a drummer. At lower volumes with a mic on it it would be great but that's not a situation I'm in a lot these days so despite being offered a killer deal on a British built LB I passed.
 
Honey, what would you like for your birthday?

You know, baby, I think I would like to have a little bastard.

How sweet!

later...

Honey, I want this fixed, now!

But, baby, I'm just relaxing on my birthday.

Look, I let you buy that amp without bitching, didn't I?

(and they lived happily ever after...)
