"Ashdown tone, ashdown quality, ashdown looks, what more can you ask for?"

Feature:
Well, not many fancy incorporated effects, so what? most amps with built in effects suck. The sub harmonic is great, but you have to understand one thing, when you are setting the Sub harmonic's knob you'r actually setting the volume of the effect, not the degree of Octaves. high boost, low boost, 5 band EQ, XLR out, Efect's loop, EXTENSION CAB CAPABILITY PEOPLE! The only thing I wish this thing had extra is making the Sub-Harmonics foot switchable.

Quality:
I havn't had a single issue with it in the 1.5Year+ I'v had it.

Value:
Not 10 simply put becouse I am still to try a Perfect amp.

Desirability:
C'm on people, this thing looks amazing. the VU meter is stylish, as is the brand's logo, and the Blue speaker just looks amazing.

Sound:
Ohh waht can I say. oh, yes. ASHDOWN PEOPLE. This brand is reckognized for one thing: TONE. and their lower end products (unlike many other brands ones) are faithful to this reputation. Far better sound than a Behringer, and just slightly more expensive. I love the sound from this thing, It's extremeley well balanced, Sharp highs, thump'n mids and booming lows, all the way. This thing sounds so good even without EQ'ing that I only use the EQ for a slight bass boost.

Ease of Use:
You dont even need to EQ this thing to sound good. No fancy knobs, no nothing. if you cant use this thing you might aswell give up playing bass right ahead.

Support:
Sometimes it takes ashdown a while to answer inquiries in time, but you wont have to wait over a week for anything. At least I havn't, and I'v bothered them, ALOT with random questions about may of their items.

Overall:
The only thing I'm thinking about upgrading now is my bass! Allright, you caught me, I do want an EXT. cab to go with this sucker But I wont trade this thing until it's absolutley necesarry.

From Our Catalog
Ashdown Electric Blue bass amplification loads legendary Ashdown tone into an affordable new amp head and a pair of high-performance, high-value combos.

The EB 15-180 1 x 15 in. combo uses a 180 Watts RMS fan-cooled fast-transient power stage, and a fully-featured bass preamplifier with inputs for both active and passive instruments, a 'VU style' LED input level meter, 5 band EQ with Bright and Deep switches, a front panel-mounted balanced DI output for connection to a PA or recording console, an FX loop, a tuner/line output and the classic Ashdown sub-harmonic generator.

A high-performance Ashdown BlueLine bass driver ensures exceptional attack, clarity and low-end performance, while an extension speaker output can be used to connect an additional cabinet for use in larger venues. The cabinet is finished in a tough, scuff-proof carpet covering with protective corners and a kick-proof metal grille.
