Taking the bass amp rule book and rewriting it. The Ashdown Studio 8 30w 1×8 Bass Combo comes in at a mere 6.1kg but carries a tone far larger than its weight could possibly suggest. Portable practical and sonically vast and this amp doesnt lack on features either! Featuring a line in jamming to your favourite songs is as simple as plugging an MP3 player and altering the line mix dial to taste with a headphone out for silent playing. Built to last for years to come covered in a heavy Tolex with chromed corners it wont just last it will look great. The Ashdown Studio 8 is a good looking featured-packed amplifier that is great for practising. Small in size – powerful in sound At only 6.1kg you could be fooled into thinking that the tone of a small amp like this wouldn’t be large but Ashdown have (yet again) proven otherwise! Engineered from the ground up this amp is designed for home use and is great for practice. Featuring a line in a line mix knob so you can alter the level of your MP3 (for example) to your bass level and finally a headphone out so it is easy to practice in silence keeping housemates and neighbours happy. Powerful and adaptable tone sculpting There is a massive + and – 15dB sweep on each of the bass middle and treble controls. If you want a more aggressive sound then sweep the mids back a little and slightly boost the trebles. But with your tone controls pointing straight at noon you get a lovely balanced bass tone and everything else is a matter of taste.
