- Amplifier Transistor (most modern bass amps are that transistor is prciser; the advantage of the lamps is that they offer more harmonics, which is INTERESTED in the case guitar, at least in that of the bass are sought o gnralement sound more "efficient" as rich in harmonics ...)
- 575W, which is far more than enough, buy a 900W amp is absolutely nothing to do because gnralement, when you have bxs like these is that the we make scnes plutt respectable, which feature a faade. The purpose of an amp is not even when water alone an audience of 1000 people or more ... And with this Ashdown, I play a ct with a guitarist who played on a PRS Mesa Dual Rectifier, and I want to compare well
- Connectivity: trs INTERESTED lot of ct;
* DI XLR is faade and selects the "pre-EQ" or "post-EQ", basically a lot is the sound of the bass directly or pass by the sound r tings of the amp.
* An output that allows specially in faade out just sound an octave lower, which triggers when the Octavia apparatus (see "effects"). Trs useful in the studio!
* If the jack, for between the line out and the output to the box, exit faade for the tuner, effect loop in and out and line in the rear, and I ' forgotten some things because I do not have my amp right now at hand ...

-Rglages: as you can see, there are a lot of things:
* A button "shape" or "flat", the sound coming out is difficult dcrire, if that is much warmer than the other, you try ...
* A EQ (which can trigger or not, and it's "foot-switchable") of seven bands, a little oddly made, get used: it is actually made up of 3 main buttons (bass , medium and treble) where they itercal of pots for frquences intermdiaires, and works well!
* A "valve drive" without offering a vritable the "crunch", this lightweight "effect" adds a "grain" to the sound, and a little boost, for example, refrains o the guitar is powerful trs.
* A sub: love is all a con octavia, sounding the thunder god. With a 2-channel switch pedals (which works with a jack Stereo), we just switch on this drive and the valve.

It's the ball, friends!

UTILIZATION

- Simple to burst open mouth ... We quickly catch trs the bazaar, nothing unusual.
- To get a good sound: it is enough to plugger! APRS is a matter of got ... Of course I play the above with a MusicMan Sterling, a help, but I must say that my very old bass (ibanez basic MODEL jconnais more accurate ...) and that sounded like a dung on to other amp is a good boost by passing the above!
- The manual? Jl'ai not read ... no need!

SOUNDS

- You do rock, funk, blues? Buy Now! Hear how sounds of Jamiroquai bassist on "traveling Without Moving" has a musicman and the Ashdown! U2 bassist for that matter, even if jsuis much less a fan of it ...
- So I use a MusicMan Sterling, I have two effects more than the amp Submitted: an EHX bassball (combined with the Octavia, was a sound straight out of hell ), and an EHX Big Muff distortion, both Russian. I plan to buy a SYB-5 and a little more time and probably a Roland V-Bass for the effects of alien
- The rglages allow you to get a multitude of sounds, one must quibble, we quickly catch the trick, I will not m'tendre the above ...
- Personally, I like the sound prcis and powerful at the same time, a bit of Incubus in the great years (in fact it jcrois that having bcp bass ...) , and jdois say on this point-the Ampeg Ashdown does not compete with! Ampeg is much cooler ... Other brands for that matter, that jpeux amps I tried before finding this one!
I put a 9 as I am not 10 everywhere.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for a year now, I just made a pre-production studio album, for which we thought was not only served to take me to the microphone, I was directly taken on the DI from the amp (obviously with the post EQ) and well everyone is rest of the tape that had been out of like a. ..

- I love him, and I tried everything I was going to hand before you buy: svt2pro ampeg, svt classic, for SWR, Hartke of poo, the Gallien & Krueger of the mesa and even of David Eden: NOTHING IS WORTH THE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to change the box some time ago (I have a pretty bad box, a Warwick), so I t music store in Cologne o they said, "But with an amp as a No need to box ". It's true ... We go out live on faade for concerts, the box is used only for rptitions ...

This is not so much as a (1100, I had 950 new), and if you buy it you will never look for another of your life ... It's worth it! (And nothing is magnificently beautiful gcher ...)
