Ashdown - UK RBM 800 Rootmaster

If you're looking for a bass amp head that meets both your technical requirements and your creativity, the Ashdown UK-RBM-800 is a serious contender. Made in the UK, it delivers 800 watts of precise power, capable of adapting to a minimum impedance of 4 ohms. Its lightweight chassis, weighing just 2.5 kg, makes it a discreet and efficient touring companion.

Its preamp is a small acoustic laboratory. The five-band equalisation, with its independent controls, lets you fine-tune your grain with precision. The Middle section is divided into Lo and Hi for even more intuitive adjustment. There's also a subharmonic generator to thicken your lines without losing definition, and a warm, integrated overdrive that's perfect for adding bite.

Effects and output management are thoughtfully designed for the active musician. The integrated effects loop lets you insert your favourite pedals into the signal in the best possible way. The balanced DI output, equipped with Ashdown analogue cabinet simulation, delivers sound ready for recording or Front of House PA. A headphone output with the same simulation lets you rehearse in silence without sacrificing the feel of a real amp.

Whether you're a touring bassist in need of reliability, a studio musician in search of nuance, or a songwriter exploring new textures, the Ashdown Rootmaster RBM-800 serves your ambitions.
