What's the deal with.....

[fenderiarhs]

....Ashdown amplifiers??????? Almost every bass player i know or have seen on TV, seems to play one of these....most of the gigs i have attended to...there's always one of them......Where are all the Trace elliots, SWR, Ampeg e.t.c???? Is it a "trend" or do they offer something special???
What about their guitar amp range????

Re: What's the deal with.....

ashdown bass amps are wicked i see more ampeg at shows, but i do love their stuff. it sounds great and the headroom on even the 40-50w stuff is surprising..

one of my mates has the peacemaker 40 combo.. from what i've heard and seen, its a very nice amp! less 'rocky' than a marshall, more at home with indie and cleaner stuff. i was impressed with it hooked up to a jazzmaster though

Ashdowns are a really good deal for the money. I play a Peacemaker 40w, wanted a Cornford but couldn't afford it so this was a good comprimise

I think it's the little analog meter.

I really haven't seen too many people using them. Most people that are plunking down bank seem to still be going with Ampeg. Not my bag, baby.

I was really tempted to get a Peacemaker, but I never got the chance to try one out. Would love to get a shot at one, though. Their bass amps have a huge following, very very popular.

Ampeg is everywhere... they are the most common amps for bass...
