    WELCOME TO

    STEVENS FARM.

  • Relied upon by countless players including the Foo Fighters Nate Mendel (featured), the ABM(Ashdown Bass Magnifier) EVO 111 rangeencompasses 575W and 900W heads, a pair ofcombos and a full range of cabinets.

    ABM bass amps are designed to satisfy both bass-purists and tech-heads alike.Three straightforward rotary tone controls provide 20dB of cut and boost at 60Hz,660Hz and 5kHz, and are supplemented by two pairs of additional sliders giving15dB cut and boost at 180Hz, 340Hz, 1.3kHz and 2.6kHz. The EQ can be switchedin/out by a footswitch, enabling players to go from a f lat fretless sound to a boostedsound via a favourite EQ setting. A single input is switchable for passive and activeinstruments with a blend of solid state and dual triode tube preamp stages whichcan be preset and selected by footswitch, providing access to a massive range ofclean, warm and overdriven tones.

    Also footswitchable is the on-board compressor and the mighty Ashdown sub-harmonic generator which precisely tracks the main signal and reproduces it anoctave lower. A sub-harmonic level control enables the player to add just the rightamount of low-end reinforcement - everything from a subtle, thickening of the soundto unbridled, bone crushing tone.

    ABM

    ABM 900 EVO 111Like all ABM heads and combos, the575W + 575W ABM 900 EVO 111 headfeatures a front-panel mounted balancedDI out with pre or post EQ switching, asub-bass output, a tuner output, an FXloop and a line input for the connectionof an external sampler or sound source.Output muting cuts the signal from theDI output but leaves the tuner output'live', allowing the player to tune up insilence. A new upgraded power sectionhas faster transient attack, moreheadroom and even less noise.

    MEETS CONTROL.

    Take the BlueLineAshdown BlueLine speakers are specially developed to achieve a superb balance ofpower, transparency and deep, controlled low end, without sacrificing any of the mid-band attack and high-end brightness that are so important in a modern bass sound.

    Constructed from high-grade birch ply and protected by a tough, buffalo leather clothcovering, metal corners and steel grilles, ABM Cabinets use high quality handles infavour of inferior f lip handles which can rattle after years of use. Vibration is reduced byheavy-duty rubber feet. ABM 610 and 810 cabinets are tilt-back designs, incorporatingbar handles, castors, kick plates and slide rails.

  • Players like System Of A DownsShavo Odadjian (featured)demand all the same bass amptone and features in the studio asthey do from their live rigs.

    Thankfully, thats what Ashdown ABM combos are allabout. Partnering all the features and power of the ABM500 EVO 111 head with a choice of 2x10" + HF Horn and1x15" + HF Horn Ashdown BlueLine speakerconfigurations, the ABM combos provide a potent andpowerful package for recording, and for small tomedium-sized club gigs.

Theprecision tuned cabinet is constructed from high-grade birch ply, protected by atough, buffalo leather cloth covering, metal corners and steel grilles. Heavy-dutyrubber feet are used to reduce vibration. Like all ABM EVO 111 amps, theamplifier chassis is built from heavy-duty 16 swg zinc coated mild steel, foil linedto minimise interference.

  • It was actually Ashdowns more affordable ampsthat legendary Jam bassist Bruce Foxton (featured)fell in love with when he discovered an EB comboin his local music store.

    Weve kitted Bruce out with an ABM rig since then, but his love of the MAG/EBamps proves that it is possible to get great Ashdown tone on a reduced budget. Atthe heart of the MAG/EB heads and combos lies a feature-packed bass preamp withrotary bass, middle and treble controls, along with supplementary rotary controlsproviding 15dB of cut and boost at 220Hz and 1.6kHz. Additionally, front panel pushswitches for Bright and Deep settings provide instant access to attacking and warm,rounded sounds respectively and, on the subject of low-end response, thetrademark Ashdown sub-harmonic generator is ready and able to deliver truck loadsof earth moving tone if called upon.

    With the MAGs and EBs now achieving EVO 11 status, the amplifiers also include abuilt-in compressor with precision sonic control.

    Little Bastard 30 Head Rebellious, uncompromising and cool as they come, James Dean and the car he nicknamed theLittle Bastard are the inspiration for this iconic, all-tube mini bass amp head. Rated at 30-Watts,the Little Bastard wont rip your head off, but its EL84-equipped power section is more thancapable enough for small gigs. And, of course, it wont put your back out on the way.

    The Little Bastard preamp stage employs ECC83 and ECC82 tubes and features High and Lowgain inputs, front panel-mounted Effects Send and Return, rotary Bass, Middle and Treblecontrols with Mid Shift, Bass Shift and Bright switching, Mute switch, rotary Volume control andbalanced DI output.

    DP200HThe Drophead 200 head features high and low gaininputs, front panel-mounted FX send and return, rotarybass, middle and treble controls with mid shift, bass shiftand bright switching, mute switch, rotary gain andmaster volume controls and balanced DI output withpre/post EQ switching.

    CLASSIC ALL VALVE SERIESTaking its styling cues from classicUS motorcycles, the Drophead 200bass head grabs your attentionbefore you even switch it on.

    Throw the power switch and the Drophead 200 fires up a4 x 6550 tube output stage for masses of low end gruntand plenty of torque through the rev range. The preampcomes straight from the 427 Small Block (see previouspage) a sensationally expressive vacuum tube designusing 2 x ECC82, 1 x ECC99 and 2 x ECC82 valves.

    Put one on top of a Classic Series cabinet and the result isone of the best-sounding and certainly best-looking bassrigs in the business.

    Why should guitarists have allthe fun? Ashdown Bass EffectsPedals are designed specificallyfor bass players and feature truebypass switching to ensureabsolute signal integrity.

    The Bass Effects range encompasses 6 pedals,including the James LoMenzo HyperDrive.

    In the LoMenzo Hyper Drive, a band of frequencieswithin the midrange of the bass signal is filtered outand the distortion effect is added only to this band. Thefiltered frequencies can be tuned to the precise rangethat gives the optimum effect. The degree of distortionavailable is variable from a subtle break up to hugeoverdrive, enabling a new range of extreme effects forbass to be created. The distortion effect can then bemixed with the original dry bass signal to maintain apowerful, full-bodied bass tone with distortionovertones.

    FXPEDALS

    FS-Dual CompAshdowns Dual BandCompressor splits the signalinto high and low frequencybands and applies compressionseparately to both fast attackand decay for the highfrequency and slow attack anddecay for the low frequency orfundamental waveform of thenote. The amount ofcompression applied to each isindependently variable and thebalance between the high andlow frequency components ofthe signal is also controllableas they are re-combined into asingle, full range output.

    FS-Sub OctaveThis earth-shattering pedalgenerates a note one octavebelow the note being played, atthe same volume and based onthe waveform of the originalsignal. By blending the sub-octave note with the originalsignal, bass players can movefrom a subtle reinforcement ofthe sound to truckloads ofbone-crushing tone. As afurther plus, distortion can beadded to the sub-octave note,with the amount and tonalcharacteristics of the distortionboth adjustable by the player.

    FS-Drive PlusAshdowns Bass Drive Pluspedal generates a wide rangeof bass distortion effects from aslight grunge through to noholds barred, high-gainoverdrive. The Drive controlsets the amount of distortion,Distortion Tone adjusts itscharacter and Distortion Levelbalances the amount of theeffect with the clean basssignal.

    FS-Envelopets time to get funky with theAshdown Envelope Filter.Capable of a wide range ofeffects from auto-wah throughto spaced-out, auto-triggeredfunky tones, the sweep of thefilter can be either up or downwith selection of band-pass orhigh pass filter modes. A peakcontrol is provided to deepenthe Q for more extreme effectsand the depth of the effect iscontrolled by the volume ofeach note as its played, makingthis a truly creative anddynamic pedal.

    FS-ChorusA high-quality chorus, just forbass players. In addition to thestandard Depth and Speedcontrols, the Plus part of thispedal can be switched in toprovide f langing and a uniquerange of delay effects.

    FS-1, FS-2 and FS-4 FootswitchesA range of heavy-duty single, 2-way and 4-way footswitches with 4 metre cables, specificallydesigned for use with Ashdown bass amplification.

    FS-BassOmeterFinally, a tuner dedicated to the needs of bass players, with a clear,bright display and true-bypass switching for on-stage use.
