Ashdown Studio 12 1x12 inch 120-watt Bass Combo Amp Reviews
Designed to be portable without sacrificing tone, the Ashdown Studio 12 is a force to be reckoned with. This 120-watt amp pumps out more volume than you can imagine without breaking your back on the way to the show. The Studio 12 is loaded with a specially designed Ashdown NEO speaker and comes with great features such as built-in valve-emulated overdrive, 5-band EQ, and a switchable active/passive input to accommodate all pickup configurations. The balanced DI output lets you easily plug into a PA system. When we demoed this amp at Sweetwater, we were surprised by how much sound could come out of such a light package. This amplifier is a lightweight beast that sounds as good as it looks.
Well it sounded good........
I am actually writing this review not for the actual sound of the amp (its really good by the way)...but the complete and utter lack of customer service from Ashdown. This amp has a two year from Sweetwater...who have always done right for me....and a five year from Ashdown. Well its been a little over two years and it just quit- yes I checked the usual suspects and everything looks fine and tests good...I get power but NO sound. Ashdown has ignored every email i have sent so far. Ill be buying an Orange.
Perfect practice amp
Clean sound! Works well. perfect practice amp. With the capability for small gigs.
Clean sound!
I like it a lot so far. Just arrived earlier this week. My first impression is that the tone is so clean and pure -- I've not tried any effects with it yet, and I've not tried it with one of my uprights yet. But my electric sound great through it. Might upgrade my review to 5 stars after I've had a chance to try my uprights through it. It is exactly what I needed as a practice amp and has enough features that I bet it will work in small gigs, too.
Ashdown Studio 12
Outstanding amplifier with amazing amount of power!!
Disappointing
First one didn't work at all and then the replacement
I also thought was faulty turns out to be right but
There's no way it's 100w and when jamming with a friend
I had it on full abs really couldn't hear what I was doing.
In the end I returned it and went with an Ampeg which
Should have done in the first place. Yes heavier but
Sounds so much better.
Great
Light loud and sounds real nice.
Brilliant combo
I bought this after reading some good things about this new line and have to say very impressed. It’s super light for starters which is a huge plus but also loud and punchy. Combines real nice with my Lakland and has lots of different great tones. Very happy.
