Ashdown CL210 Access Mini Rig Bass Combo Amplifier (65 Watts, 2x10 in.)
No longer available at zZounds
65-Watt. Two 10 in. cabinets. CD input.
Overview
Having set the new standard for powerful, compact, yet immensely portable bass amps, Ashdown's All Access Bass Series has just produced a new baby - the Perfect Ten MiniRig. Based on the amplifier design of the award-winning Perfect Ten combo - but sporting a more powerful 65-Watt output - the Perfect Ten head is partnered by two 10 in. cabinets, making the combined rig a true miniature powerhouse.
Conceived as a home or practice set-up, the Perfect Ten MiniRig actually packs enough muscle to hold its own in small gigs, far outstripping standard practice amps in both quality and flexibility.
The feature set is typically Ashdown, providing all the essential controls you'll need in an intuitive and logical layout. Input and Output Gain controls are standard, along with a three-band rotary tone control section (Treble, Middle and Bass), plus the bass response can be instantly extended by way of a simple 'Deep' switch.
A front panel CD input means you can play along with pre-recorded backing tracks, while also doubling as a line output for recording situations. If noise is an issue then the headphone output allows silent practicing, and a classic Ashdown VU meter lets you keep an eye on your levels.
Durability is further enhanced by the use of tough protective corners and heavy duty covering, and the whole package is rounded off by the inclusion of all speaker cables - meaning the Perfect Ten rig is ready to play straight out of the box.

"Cute butt kickin' lil pup!"
I only got this for practice & portability. Probably the only combo I'll need at least for a while.
Sound
The 2 10" speakers are housed in very efficient lightweight cabs. The separate cabs help the sound while keeping the weight down by not needing baffles to counter 2 speakers in a single enclosure. The sound projection is noticeably better than a combo with 2 speakers mounted horizontally just off the floor.
Features
I was somewhat surprised that this came packaged together, obviously intended to be sold only as a single sale, but didn't include speaker cables. Not that I was short speaker cables but for anyone buying this little rig might have to make a trip to the music store just to try it out. No pedals, nothing fancy and I like that.
Ease of Use
The input gain stays moderate until about 3/4 of the way up. Then it gets very good without distorting. With the gain at 2/3 and the volume about halfway, my passive Fender P sounded very good considering the size and intent of this rig. The deep in/out actuallu works quite well. The 3 adjustments for bass, mid and treble are wide ranging in sound.
Quality
Very well made. Solid. The stacking corners work. It's size and weight are why I bought this as a practice rig to take somewhere else. My 4 X 10" cabs and Peavey Firebass head or my 2 Crate BT-350 heads I use in tandem in biamp are a load. I do worry my… read more cat might knock it over so I unstack it after using it.
Value
This is, in my mind, one of the best choices for a combo. The sound and portability make it worth 50% more than it's sold for.
Manufacturer Support
Don't know & hope I don't need to find out!
The Wow Factor
This thing is so cute that even if it didn't work well it's a nice decoration. Especially sitting next to my big stacks. Like their puppy!
