It is right hair in the characteristics I was looking for an amp "practice" in a small apartment full of music gear. Only in this context homebody that I use or perhaps for a small beef with acoustic guitar.
I almost regret the absence of effects loop but saw good use is still not the most useful function in the world.
UTILIZATION
Nothing simpler.
The EQ settings are not bad. The bass boost button very effective.
SOUNDS
As said in other reviews, the big plus is its accuracy. I have a Variax bass and the different models as different tone controls are really well reproduced by the amp. Involved in the fingers, pick or slap, we quickly found its brands (but a preamp a bit more upscale like BSE or Sansamp is a big plus).
I also tried the Epiphone EB-0 and that of my girlfriend preseque adds clarity to the bass who can play that round.
The bass response is frankly amazing given the size of HP.
The big "minus" is actually the breath when pushed a bit.
OVERALL OPINION
I tried another small amp "practice" at the same price in Warwick with her a little warmer but I preferred the accuracy of Ashdown.
Used with a Bass POD XT (with the amp models Bypass) to the effects and / or as an EBS pedal preamp / overdrive, it's really what I was looking for home (after ruining my monitor speakers in playing directly from the POD XT). It allows me to work though my settings before playing a real good amp big studio repeated.
I put 9 in the breath that can become unbearable in maximum power. But less than 140 euros is more than a case.
And yes it is beautiful with its logo of 50's jukebox and carpeted cube design.
