From the bedroom to the stadium, Ashdown builds a full range of high-performance bass amplification to suit all styles and levels of player
For almost 15 years, Ashdown ABM bass amplification has been the choice of many leading 'rock' players. And the new EVO III range ensures that ABM continues to rock harder than any other bass amp in the business. With features including Valve Drive, straightforward 7-band EQ, built-in Sub-Harmonics, an on-board compressor and a maximum 900-Watt RMS of power, ABM is all about solid, bone-crushing tone combined with all the footswitchable facilities and connectivity essential on the modern performance stage. The ABM range encompasses amp heads, combos and cabinets.
MAG is designed for the busy semi-pro player who wants classic ABM tone without the more sophisticated facilities and connectivity. Correspondingly less expensive than the ABM range, the MAG range is built around a 300-Watt power stage and encompasses an amp head, combos and cabinets. New EVO II MAGs now feature an on-board compressor and vinyl covered cabinet.
With a 180-Watt power section, 5-band EQ, built-in Sub-Harmonics, an on-board compressor and a classic illuminated Ashdown VU, the Electric Blue combos are perfect for the ambitious bass player that's just starting out.
MiBass is all about uncompromised power and features in a compact, lightweight package. Using 220W and 550W power stages, the MiBass heads are big enough to fill a serious venue, yet small enough to fit in the pocket of the average gig bag.
For those players who worship at the altar of glass, fire and high-voltage, Ashdown has created a superb range of valve bass amplification encompassing a range of heads and combos, and an amazing pair of Drophead combos.
First heard in the 427 Small Block, Ashdown's Dual Tube bass preamp was an instant hit, thanks to its solid, articulate bottom end and sparkling highs. Now it forms the front end of a range of heads and combos, partnered with the road-proven power stages of the ABM, MAG and Electric Blue, to deliver tube tone without the price tag.
Even when you're rehearsing, you still need a good sound. Ashdown All Access bass practice combos may be easily affordable and portable, but they're also surprisingly potent. And there's a line input so you can jam along with your favourite tracks.
Why should guitarists have all the fun? Ashdown Bass Effects Pedals are designed specifically for bass players and feature true bypass switching to ensure absolute signal integrity. The Bass Effects range encompasses 6 pedals, including the new James LoMenzo HyperDrive, and a dedicated bass tuner.
Stranglers bassist JJ Burnel grabbed the bass-world's attention with the unforgettable bassline to Peaches, and he hasn't stopped since.
A fitting tribute to a great player and a good friend of the Ashdown family, the JJ500 Signature Series bass amp head is stripped and ready for action, designed and engineered for purity of signal path and absolute clarity.
