Ashdown is one of the worlds biggest names in bass amplification. They have a huge list of famous users (U2, System of a Down, Radio Head, Jamiroquai - the list goes on & on!), and whats even better is that Ashdown is a British company. The Ashdown ABM Series is a sensibly priced pro range of bass combos, heads & cabinets. Ashdown ABM amps are very versatile due to the variable valve preamp stage - this enables you to blend your bass signal between a solid state preamp stage (clean & tight sounding), and a dual triode tube preamp stage (warmer & will start to overdrive if pushed). ABM amps also feature a simple to use but powerful 7 band EQ, and with power stages that can produce between 500-900 watts (depending on the model) these amps are going to cope with most live situations. The Ashdown ABM500 Evo II Head is particularly popular when used with the ABM Compact 115 Cab & the ABM Compact 210T Cab. This combination allows the amp to deliver it's maximum 575 watts, but is still a perfectly managable rig for one person.
