Level gold

Level 42 celebrates 30 years of music involvements this year. Bassist, Mark King, teamed up with Ashdown amplification to come up with the above anniversary amp head with an added attraction- the control panel face plate is plated with... gold.

Little menace

I had the opportunity to try this bass combo recently, it's Ashdown's TourBus10. As the name implies, a 10W practice unit with a 6.5" driver. The EQ section is a mere 2-band (bass/ treble), together with a volume knob, things are kept simple. What I like about small bass combos are the note clarity. I also hear better definition with smaller drivers as opposed to bigger units; the bass does not need a low-end booster, it is already king in this domain. I'd (highly) recommend this to those of us starting out & in need of a good back up alike. Can a combo of this nature out-volume your drummer? If he stops playing you can... he he.
