Ashdown Superfly Bass Amp Customer Review
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Very ambitious amp. Hope the matching cabs come in soon. Higher power units due too.
Sound
Strong sound, near boutique quality, maybe a little thicker.
Features
Very interesting feature set. Need to use 4 ohm cabinets - a pair if possible - to get top volume levels.
Ease of Use
Simple to use.
Quality
Very nicely made. Some owners report hum or high-pitched whine. Hum is within acceptable levels. I do hear a whine occasionally but it goes away.
Value
It's worth the money if you get a good unit. A steal at $279.
