ASHDOWN UK HOD 600 | 600W Geezer Butler Signature Hybrid Hea Bass Amplifier

The Head Of Doom: Geezer Butler's signature Ashdown, built in England for the man whose bass invented heavy metal.

Black Sabbath's low end demands weight, grind and total reliability, and the HOD 600 delivers all three: a valve preamp stage into 600 watts of output, with Geezer's preferred EQ voicing, sub-harmonic depth and a drive that snarls without losing the note. Hand-built in the UK with suitably doom-laden styling, it is both a working professional tool and a piece of metal history you can plug into.

About Ashdown

Ashdown is British bass amplification at its best. Founded by Mark Gooday in 1997 after his years running Trace Elliot, the company builds everything from lightweight gigging heads to hand-wired UK flagships, and its artist roster reads like a who's who of bass: Geezer Butler, Shavo Odadjian, John Myung, Rex Brown, Guy Pratt and Adam Clayton among them. If it has a VU meter and it makes the room shake, it's probably an Ashdown.
