Ashdown Five 15 100 watt 1x15 Bass Amp

Ashdown Five 15 Bass Amp

Ashdown is one of the worlds biggest names in bass amplification. They have a huge list of famous users (U2, System of a Down, Radio Head, Jamiroquai - the list goes on & on!), and whats even better is that Ashdown is a British company. The Ashdown Five 15 is the first amp in their range that has just enough juice for a bit of live performance. 100 watts may sound a lot, but a good guide for bass players is to buy an amp that is 3-4 times more powerful than the guitar players amp. This is because bass guitars need much more power to get the same volume as an electric guitar. So if you need an amp to jam in a band where the guitar player has a 25-30w amp, then the 100w Five 15 will be just fine

Here's what Ashdown say about the Five 15

Named in memory of our late, great friend John Entwistle, the Five Fifteen bass practice amp combines a 100 watt power section with a single 15" Ashdown BlueLine bass speaker. Sounds can be shaped quickly and intuitively using bass, middle and treble controls, supplemented by a pre-shaped 'deep' switch. A headphone output is provided for private practice along with an extension speaker output.
