Ashdown Engineering 60w 1 x 10" Combo Amp

The Ashdown Engineering Studio 10 is one of those grab-and-go bass combos that makes you want to keep a bass plugged in at all times. Compact, seriously light, and pumping out 50 watts through a custom 10" speaker, it serves up that familiar Ashdown warmth in a package that’s easy to haul to rehearsal, a small stage, or the living room.

Features

This amp is all about big tone without the backache. Weighing in at just 7kg and built around a custom-designed 10" speaker, it delivers 50 watts of Ashdown sound that feels far larger than its footprint suggests. The layout is straightforward but smart: a 5-band EQ lets you really sculpt your response, from tight and focused to thick and supportive, while the valve-emulated overdrive brings in that touch-sensitive grit when you lean on it.

For late-night practice or silent sessions, there’s a headphone output ready to go, turning the Studio 10 into a solid practice companion as well as a rehearsal and gig rig. The cabinet is constructed from lightweight poplar ply, wrapped in heavy-duty tolex and protected with chrome metal corners, giving it that classic amp look with a roadworthy feel.

Tone

Set flat at noon, this combo dishes out the classic Ashdown character: warm, articulate lows, clear mids that let your lines speak, and a smooth, controlled top end that never gets harsh. Push the valve-emulated overdrive and it moves from a subtle growl into a more pronounced grind, adding hair and attitude without losing note definition. Whether you’re holding down the groove at home or pushing air in a small room, it feels responsive under the fingers and rewards you when you dig in.
