About Ashdown

When Mark Gooday left Trace Elliot in 1997 to found Ashdown Engineering, he set out to build amps bass players would trust for a lifetime — and the roll-call of players who did says he succeeded: Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath even has his own Ashdown signature range, and Shavo Odadjian of System of a Down, Nate Mendel of Foo Fighters and Dream Theater's John Myung all rely on the brand. UK-built flagships and a 5-year warranty keep that trust earned.
