Scores of discerning bass players rely on Ashdown amplifiers like the Rootmaster bass combo for reliable tone and rock-solid performance. The 500-watt Rootmaster packs a five-band EQ, overdrive, a subharmonic generator, and onboard compression into a compact cabinet with a powerful 12" speaker for endless tweaking and tonal flexibility for the stage and studio. The Rootmaster makes a great rig for gigging and practice: an XLR output lets you run straight out of the amp into a soundboard without a separate DI box, and a separate input with Line Mix level control lets you crank up backing tracks and jam along.Ashdown Rootmaster 500-watt Bass Amplifier Combo at a Glance:An EQ built for tone tweakersOne-knob overdrive, compression, and subharmonics to shape your soundAshdown delivers the modern bass soundAn EQ built for tone tweakersAshdown bass amplifiers are known for their flexible equalizers.
