Ashdown CTM-300

A handbuilt all tube 300 Watt bass amp head that melds classic tones with modern features, construction and reliability. The head is housed within an 18mm birch ply cabinet that features heavy duty flip style handles and an internal fan to keep things cool. The head features a classic five valve preamp configuration (1 x ECC83, 1 x ECC832, 1 x ECC99, 2 x ECC82) and a fully-loaded power section consisting of 6 x KT88 output tubes to provide the huge grunt, warmth and headroom bassists crave. From mellow '60s bass tone to growling '70s-style bass, straight through to thick and powerful modern tone, the CTM-300 covers a huge range of sonic ground. Thanks to versatile tone controls, the head let you fine-tune your tone to the situation. The CTM-300 features user adjustable bias for each individual power tube thanks to the dual-functioning VU meter. The head also features a transformer-derived DI output and front-mounted effects loop both tube-driven for maximum tonal preservation. The weight of the amp is 33 kg.
