The Ashdown Engineering Studio 8 Combo packs legendary bass tone into a portable powerhouse. Designed for the gigging bassist, bedroom player, or tone-loving traveler, this 30-watt combo is a masterclass in compact efficiency. At just 13.4 pounds, it’s light enough to carry with one hand—but don’t let its size fool you. Plug in, and you'll hear the unmistakable Ashdown warmth and clarity pour out of its custom 8" speaker.
The Studio 8 is voiced to deliver a punchy low-end with well-defined mids and sparkling highs, making it an ideal amp for practice sessions, small venue gigs, or silent rehearsals via the headphone output. Its 3-band EQ is intuitive and musical, offering everything from old-school thump to modern snap. Paired with a durable poplar ply cabinet and rugged chrome corners, this amp is road-ready while looking sharp in any setting.
If you’re channeling the buttery grooves of Pino Palladino or laying down solid Motown-inspired rhythms, the Studio 8 has the articulation and responsiveness to make your lines sing. It’s an amp that rewards feel, and one that encourages you to play more, wherever you are.
