Ashdown is renowned for its amplifiers and effects units, produced primarily for bass guitar but also for electric guitar. Based in Chelmsford, Essex, England, the company was founded in 1997 by Mark Gooday—formerly the chief engineer and manager at Trace Elliot—who modeled the brand's logo after the badge found on Austin-Healey sports cars. Ashdown’s unwavering commitment to design and innovation is evident across its product lineup, which includes tube and hybrid amplifiers, combos, practice amps, effects pedals, and more.
Ashdown Engineering remains true to its roots today, just as it was in 1997!
The Ashdown UK-SBM-110-100 is a UK-made, 100-watt bass combo finished in "Ice Blue," designed to deliver modern clarity and maximum practicality in a compact format. Despite its small 1x10" configuration, the high-quality Sica 10" speaker delivers surprising punch, defined mids, and a controlled low end—making it ideal for home practice, rehearsals, songwriting sessions, and smaller, low-volume setups. A smoothly voiced overdrive circuit adds character, allowing you to transition from clean tones to warm grit and light grind without complex controls. It comes equipped with the essentials for stage and studio use: a balanced DI output for FOH systems or audio interfaces, an FX loop for pedals, and a headphone output for silent practice. Visually, it is built for rugged use, featuring a Charcoal Tweed finish and a Silver Weave grille.
