Why? Because I am now 63 years old and the weight is getting too much for me. My kids bought me a great portable combo.

Condition of the equipment: excellent, both appearance and technical. In 2005 the Electro-Voice speaker of the Bassline 15 was replaced by an Eminence Beta 15, otherwise everything is original.

Where? Gouda, The Netherlands, Europe.

Price? No exact amount in mind in advance, but use Google and you will see which realistic amounts pass by. I expect serious offers (in €) from enthusiasts who appreciate this vintage equipment - I expect we can work out a fair deal.

History: My former colleague and friend Jurrie Teeuwen made me enthusiastic about ADA, and with him I went to buy the set on 28/02/2003 at Titan Professional Audio in Brussels.
In June 2005 I had a crack in the speaker of the Bassline 15 and Jurrie Teeuwen replaced the speaker with an Eminence Beta 15 that suits me very well.
I had the entire tower checked and cleaned (dust removed, etc.) on 25/01/2018 at Westamp Geluid in Delft (westampgeluid.nl).

What are we exactly talking about?

Set:
MB-1 Midi Tube Bass Preamp
B500B Solid State Biamp Bass Amp 500w 2h
Bassline HX 2x10 "+ Horn Top / Full Range Bass Speaker System 8 Ohm

Well, actually it used to be 220 V in the Netherlands when ADA manufactured it. See the picture.
At the moment Dutch current is about 230V - which works fine.

History:
During the 50s and 60s, the home connections in the Netherlands were converted to 220 V by the electricity company.

In order to harmonize the voltages used in various countries, it was decided in Europe to gradually increase the voltage to 230 volts between 1988 and 2004. This was a compromise between the continental 220 V and the British 240 V.

For more info see https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichtnet#Nederland:_van_127_naar_220_volt
It's in Dutch, so use Google Translate.
