I gig every weekend and have used Ashdown equipment for the last 5 years working from your MAG range, to now your ABM 115 + ABM 210 + ABM EVO II 500 head and it never lets me down. It is by far the best kit I have used. I must do at least 80 gigs a year and that's a lot of in and out of the van and setting up - but your quality is brilliant.

I recently purchased an Ashdown Bass Drive Plus pedal. All I can say is WOW - it so much better than my Boss which I will be retiring. I'm going to invest in an Ashdown Amp as soon as possible. Keep up the good work.

7 years x 100 gigs per year and still running strong, thank you Ashdown. My ABM500 still sounds as sweet as the day I bought it. I chose Ashdown because your warranty was longer than all the other bigger companies, which means a lot to young people shelling out hard cash. With all the tone knobs flat, it's just right for me. If only everything else in life was that easy!
Why does the Superfly cost so little? I've got one and it's the best bass amp I ever had.

Hey guys, just a note regarding my Ashdown rig. I have an ABM500 2X10 combo with an ABM115 extension cabinet and I wasn't using it for the past year because of lack of space with my car. I have a new car now and I started to use my Ashdown rig again. Well, the very first night, all the guys in the band were unanimous about how great I sounded compared to my **** rig!! The difference was striking really! It is the thickest sound I ever had. I don't get paid to say it, I thought you might want to hear it too. I love my Ashdown rig!!!!! Thanks and by the way, the **** rig is up for sale now.

I have used an ABM 500 for about 6 months now which was originally given to me by the shop while they were repairing my **** head (which broke down at least once a year). They got the Ashdown as a trade in. It sounded so ASTOUNDING I told them to keep the ****. I've been playing professionally for 40 years. Played live through just about everything out there. I have NEVER heard a clearer, punchier sound... EVER!!!

This is a phenomenal amplifier. As a big Mark King fan, anything that bears his name is 'bound to be good isn't it?' - and this is why I bought it. Does it lived up to the expectation? Yes, yes, yes! The most incredible factor in this amp has to be the extraordinary clarity of sound. Just plug in, and away you go!

Your pedals ROCK! I've been playing bass guitar for 30 years and these are the best effect I have found. I picked up a compressor and was blown away with the possibilities. I've since added your other pedals, and I'm seriously considering moving to an Ashdown amp now.

I have just taken reciept of my new 2x10" and 1x15" Superfly cabs. I recieved them last Thursday and gigged them on Friday and I must say they look and sound fabulous. They also fit on the back seat of my estate car without having to drop the seats and talk about light weight, I still have a spine that works post gig. The range of tone covered by the cabs is outstanding and combined with my Superfly 500w head i now have my ideal rig. I love it.

I'VE JUST PURCHASED A MAG C410T-300COMBO AND I JUST LOVE IT ,THE BEST AMP I EVER PLAYED. I HAVE HAD HARTKE,SWR,PEAVEY,SEMOUR DUNCAN YOU NAME IT AND THIS AMP BLOWS THEM ALL AWAY. I'VE PLAYED BASS WITH THE STYLISTICS,THE CHI-LITES,FAT LARRY'S BAND JUST TO NAME A FEW AND EVERY STYLE OF PLAYING AND THIS AMP COVERS IT ALL.I DON'T NEED TO SEARCH ANY MORE THIS IS THE ONE. THANK YOU ASHDOWN.

I have just got one of your rather splendid Superfly amp... Having used a Marshall 200+200 intergrated bass amp (tranny) for 20 years I thought my hearing was going as the sound at the end of the gig was lot different from what I had started with. Suffice to say, 20mins into the 1st of two 45s preset 03 selected I suddenly discovered 1: My hearing's alright, 2: The Superfly is an amazing bit of kit.

I only have one word for your Superfly amp. Wow! I don’t know how you managed to do it, but this little amp sounds like a tube amp…not an amp with a tube pre-amp, but a full blown tube amp. That’s the only way I can describe it. I play it through two homemade, 4 ohm, 115 neo cabs, and this amp just blows away every other amp I’ve tried. The fact that it is so small is simply a bonus. I can’t believe what these are selling for, as they are comparable to Eden’s that I’ve used (though I think the Superfly is better).

At 53 years old, and having played in blues and rock bands since 1973, I have owned a wide range of amps over that time, including Fenders (not flexible enough), Marshalls (too f****** loud!), Randall, Peavey, Musicman and Vox, and this (Ashdown Peacemaker 40) is undoubtedly the best amp I have ever owned!
Ross Redwin
I recently aquired a Mag C410t 300 amp and have to admit that this little powerhouse is simply stunning. I have been a loyal user of Ampeg amps for over 15 years but this one amp has put all of that into question!Its ease of use is amazing as are the quality and numerous types of sounds it is capable of. i think from this moment on I will use only Ashdown equipment, it's that good.I have even given consideration to replacing my pedal board items with Ashdown pedals havent decided yet but I will let you know.
Curtis Willeby
I have a Superfly and a Mini 48 and they make the best rig I have ever owned. Easy to transport even in my sub compact car and they cut through the mix with two Mesa half stacks and a crazy loud drummer!
Sam Mobley
I just purchased a MAG-C210t combo and without a doubt is the best amplifier I have ever played through. That includes Ampeg, Trace Elliot, SWR, Eden, Gallean Kruger, Hartke and Peavey. I recently played a 125 person private affair and the amp cut the room without PA support easily. It is the only amp that I have used that is consistent tonewise from high to low end and matches the bass drum tone perfectly. It clear yet not harsh with a smooth warmth that is unparalleled. Rest assured that I will sing the praises of Ashdown Engineering to everyone. Thanks again. Kindest regards.

I have been using the EVO II 500 with 2 x 10 cab for a few weeks now. I was actually keen on the Ampeg SVT but thought the Ashdown was a more sensible buy, almost as good for a whole lot cheaper. WAS I WRONG! It simply kicks the Ampeg’s butt. The tone literally brings tears to my eyes! The Warwick / Ashdown growl is beautiful. I love it. And strangely enough, I have had sooo many people, muso’s and non-muso’s alike comment on how Hot it looks. That retro-vintage look with the modern lines are a work of art. Anyway, 3 gigs down and many many more with my new favourite thing.
