Ashdown OriginAL 300-Watt Lightweight Bass Head

Ashdown Power
You owe it to yourself to check out the Ashdown OriginAL 300-watt bass head if you're a bassist who wants the convenience of a highly portable bass amp with straightforward control. At less than 7 lbs., the OriginAL makes transportation a breeze. And dialing in your tone is even easier. The 5-band EQ boasts intuitive control for bass, middle, and treble, as well as hi- and lo-mid knobs. The front-facing effects loop and XLR DI output are another tip of the hat to modern conveniences. With its ample power, great sound, and player-friendly features, the Ashdown OriginAL bass amp head is well worth your attention.




Ideal for the gigging bassist
The days of being required to lug a 100 lb. bass head for great tone are gone. Grab this Ashdown OriginAL from Sweetwater, and you'll have comparable power in an enclosure that fits in your backpack and weighs less than your bass. When it's time to head to the gig, you can simply throw the amp in your bag and get to the venue comfortably, thanks to the amp's 7-pound weight. And at 300 watts, you can rest easy knowing that your audience will hear your Ashdown-quality tone loud and clear.






Just enough control
Wrangling bass frequencies can be a tricky venture. While some amplifiers deal with this by offering control over every parameter imaginable, the Ashdown OriginAL 300-watt head narrows it down to just what you need. The amp's 5-band EQ boasts controls for hi- and lo-mids, carving out a sound that works well for the venue and stage that you're on. Want more of a scooped midrange tone? Simply push the Shape button and you're good to go. Finally, the passive/active button is a great help in balancing the outputs of your vintage workhorse and modern active bass.




Plenty of I/O for any gig
Whether you're recording, performing, or practicing, the OriginAL amp head has the features you need to get great tone, fast. The amp's XLR DI output is intelligently placed on the amp's faceplate, giving you access to it in the heat of performance. You'll also find the amp's effects loop on the front, which is ideal for running cables to your pedalboard at the front of the stage. And when it's time to enjoy woodshedding alone, you'll appreciate the amp's headphone output that silently sends all that Ashdown low end right to your ears.
