ASHDOWN UK RBM 800 | RBM Bass Amplifier

The Rootmaster Bass Magnifier: Ashdown's celebrated Rootmaster platform, now hand-built in the UK and dressed in striking Ice Blue.

The UK-RBM-800 delivers 800 watts from a lightweight, gig-ready chassis, with the complete suite of Ashdown tone tools: precision EQ, the Sub-Harmonic Generator for an octave of extra weight, smooth onboard compression and a responsive overdrive. An FX loop, headphone out, traditional DI and an analogue Ashdown Cab Sim DI — recreating a perfectly mic'd Ashdown cabinet — make it as at home in the studio and on silent stages as at full roar. British-built, five-year warranty, unmistakably Ashdown.

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.
