UTILIZATION

The sound is perfect, my bass slap ever. The settings are in 2 min, and the result is that honest. Manuel en français.

SOUNDS

I plug my Jazzbass above & that's all. It works.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some time and I can not do without. It reproduces well the low frequencies without forgetting the treble is fine. However, it lacks a reverb, I'll have to buy and that's a shame. Okay, given the price / quality ratio, I will not cry. (288 € in German) The unique handle is not going to take care of my back either. This amp is perfect, and considering the price it would be a shame to pass. (It is 10/10 but I take off 1 point for the reverb and the handle)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a good month and I'm delighted
the price is an insult (288Eu Thomann)
I tried everything that is manufactured in the range 100-200 Watts (except trace elliot) and a budget of 600Eu
Amp above the rest, well
unique feeling, intensity and everything!

suggested choice I regret it is not at the top of the thing !!!!!!

180Watts RMS bass amp transistor, which end it is powerful
Between Active, passive, taking a DI
1 VUmtre very nice! 1 volume knob of to avoid saturating, a bass, a low middle, a middle, a middle and an trebble hight.
APRS there are three buttons that are used to add five Dcb serious, acute and 5 dcb of the head to cut a (very good to hear the pure sound of the bass!)
a button associated with a knob to set the sub-harmonic (I do not care a bit)
A knob for volume output e
(Possibility to connect a deuxime copt on the head)

UTILIZATION

Specially setup, took me a while to find DIFFERENT sounds that I like, there really are many variations!
So for a good sound, it provides that sounds good! You decide what you will ...
Manuel ben there not much ...

SOUNDS

Sound! So I test everything I play everything and I find it great for that! Only BMOL, given the HP 15 ', the sound of slap in acute is not what I wanted was not bad but far from the acute to prsence is felt.
I play this amp with an Ibanez SRX305. So when it comes to the game as mdiator fingers, it's great! small snag is the slap, but the problem also comes from my bass to slap, bof ben what!
For sound, Ashdown's heavy but super beautiful, I never left this mark!
I russi him out no sound like KoRn up the sound Pastorius!
I love it! What about ...

OVERALL OPINION

Bought in Germany to really low (288 I think and it fell further!) 6 months ago, this amp got prevalent RPTS few and well I have never pushed tr s hard! the clap 180Watts really well and not complain! lolll
The particular feature I like is that it's Ben Ashdown!
J'hsitai the Warwick Sweet 15.2 and the Hartke A100 (the Fender Rumble 100 gives enough) is all 3 of the great amp but here I had an Ashdown preferences and I regret nothing
288 euros for an amp that holds up this gift! Report qualitprix unbeatable!
I would do but on this choice, yes! I'm big on Ashdown since I have!

Solid state bass combo, 180 watts announced
HP 15 '
Comprehensive connectivity: input high / low, effects loop, DI output (XLR) and line (jack, which does not cut the HP), 2 HP (can connect a 2nd HP so)

Level settings is not a gas plant: gain, EQ 5-way bypass, deep and bright switches, master volume. Me that's enough.

Octaver presence of a fairly substantial to add to the sound

The big downside is the weight (30Kg not act ridiculous and transport facilities, namely a stupid handle on top ... When you must carry around the 500m is really painful, I would have loved side handles, why not smoothly, at least a handful more comfortable, hence the 7

UTILIZATION

Use level is super simple, it's not a gas plant, so are the settings without much problems, the EQ is effective without more, volume level is just enough to play with a guitarist and a deaf drummer playing at 10 for large sales and output line DI is very significant

SOUNDS

Its level is an amp built for rock with a raw sound, rather dirty, look no sounds hyper-compressed modern and clean, with bright highs and deep bass hyper, here is a round of the slightly muddy (I said that I play with an epiphone thunderbird, which strongly emphasizes the rock side).

The small downside is that the power amplifier tends to saturate high-volume, difficult to have one's own, then, shame

on the other hand compared to a preamp that lack lights still fishing and roundness,

I put 7 as well, because it's not super versatile and it is not the top compared to the preamp lamps

OVERALL OPINION

For the price it's very honest, for less than € 300 was a powerful amp, solid, holding the road, ideal for rock in all its forms, but still a big downside for the weight and lack of means travel.

I bought this amp because I needed a bass amp soon, but with experience I would build an amp rack rather than custom, but I still recommend it often when I am asked Council for a bass amp

A low-transistor amplifier,
-120 Watts RMS into 8 ohms (180 Stroke Bafle ADDITIONAL 8 ohm)
-Volume of input and output
Eq-5 band
-Activation/désactuvation Of: Bright (more acute slamming), Deep (deeper), Eq (to play with or without eq), Sub Harmonics (adds a note one octave below the sound), over the vesrion "Evoia" of the amp I can add the desired amount of compression.
-2 Entry: passive or active bass, effects loop, and output acordeur.
-Vu meter to see the input level.
Hp-15 "" blue line "(blue), 25 pounds and a single handle to carry it.
-Dimensions in mm: 581 x 474 x 300
-Cooling fan (fairly quiet)
-Output for another speaker (8 Ohm) allowing the amp to have up to 180 watts RMS and 300 watts PEAK.
9 because of the weight, nothing to say about the rest except that it exelente!

UTILIZATION

We must get used to the 5-band equalization, but if it can play everything!
No manual, but its no use.
J'obtient both rock sound that funk! It is versatile the beast!

10 because I is not found in this category of defaults.

SOUNDS

To play in my room I put the volume of input 1 and the output was 1.5 and it's perfect! For group play I slightly exceeds half of the 2 master volumes and pass both quiet slap, and that finger pick.
Dailleurs I recommend it to anyone who practices often play with a pick is his strong point is this amp. If your batter is too Bourin we add an aditional Bafle 8 ohm and one arrives juqu'a 180 watts of power. (300 peak)! (Not hesitate to push it, you get good power dla only by pushing more than half, and the amp suporte very well)
Its level is perfect (or so) it is not far from a high end amp.
You can play everything! 2 defaults all the same:
-Too much breath when you push the compression in its utmost limits,
Yes, deep bass, but large sub 15 "makes it difficult to sound brighter and" slamming "(can be a twetter Will fix the problem).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months and he has served over 2.3 repeat without particular problems.
It is great I get enough! He greatly improved the sound of my bass!
Value for money more than adequate given ue I bought a 41.5% discount!

Transistor is a combo bass, 180 watts (with two HP). The connection is very complete, an entry for low active and passive one for an effects loop, line input and a DI output and two outputs for HP.
Level settings, is very comprehensive: there is a gain, a master, a 5-band equalizer, and a nice effect, the "sub-harmonic" which adds a note an octave, a compressor, a boost of treble, a serious boost.
The only problem, as mentioned above is the weight (26 kg), which makes it very uncomfortable to carry (I usually leave it in the local repeat my group ...). Note: This is a special edition of Electric Blue, specially made for Thomann.

UTILIZATION

The knobs are fairly reactive, EQ is effective. You find it quickly, we made some tests with the sub-harmonic, it adjusts the compressor and go!
The manual is very comprehensive, it is the same on all the amps Ashdown. It is only in English but it does not pose a major problem.
This amp is very pleasant to use and is built to last (due to its weight, it is better ...), I've had 4 or 5 months, he did a lot of rehearsals, concerts and more as it is always nine.

SOUNDS

I play in a metal band, and the T15 is just fine, but it is also great in other styles (there's a look at the different bassists who use Ashdown for yourself) .
I started using it with a 4 string Cort low end but decent for its price, and I now Ltd. 5 string with active 3-band equalizer and a pleasure, we can sculpt the sound very precisely ! I have a Boss ODB-3 and after a short time settings, I got a super overdrive.
Playing with the EQ and boost the treble and bass, you can almost do anything, except perhaps the ultra-clacking sounds like Death Metal, it will add a distortion pedal or an equalizer. For the slap, it triggers the treble boost and a joy! The sub-harmonic is very pleasant in the treble, but for serious, it tends to remove the definition of the sound ... Therefore the tune.

OVERALL OPINION

As I said above, I use it since December 2008 (Christmas gift).
What I like most about this amp is its sound (thankfully!) And its very complete! The only big downside is its weight. I try to put wheels one day ...
Before this amp, I played on the Hartke I did not like the sound in the treble, too metallic aluminum due to HP, and I tested a Hughes & Kettner Kick Back which I was not at all convinced. I had negative perceptions Ashdown, I did not include the design (It changed today, I find these magnificent creatures ...) but whenever I tried one, I was hooked and my next amp will probably be the same brand!
The quality / price is more than good, 290 € on Thomann, we have a great amp without breaking the bank!
With experience, I think I would do this choice, the T15 and I advise all bass players who want a big without sacrificing an arm!

EDIT 18/07/2009: I just saw that this amp is no longer available on Thomann, Ashdown has probably stopped production. If you want one, you will look on the side of the occasion ...
