INTRODUCTION
The all-new designs feature a new light-weight design using responsibly sourced poplar-ply
wood, providing a light but strong structure for our new combo enclosures.
Today people require our products to be portable yet practical, which in essence is a task of its
own. When designing our new studio line we discussed a number of different ideas, but the key
point what they needed to sound as good as they look...
So going back to basics we leaned upon one our tried and tested EQ sections by way of the 5
BAND EQ featured across our Rootmaster and OriginAL ranges, this EQ opens up everything
you need to establish a great tone straight out of the box, with everything at 12 O’clock the NEW
Ashdown Studio Range sounds as you would expect from a bass guitar warm yet articulate.
