General

The Ashdown Retroglide 800 is a solid-state bass guitar amp head with a built-in 12-band equalizer. This powerful 800-watt funk amplifier has a cool '80s design and was named after the eleventh studio album of Level 42, the band fronted by Ashdown user and bass player Mark King. Boasting a rugged housing, a built-in auto protect feature that keeps it from overheating, and an internal fan with a minimum-noise design, this bass amp head is ready for a life on stage.

Retroglide 800: a 12-band EQ and more

The high-grade sliders of this bass amp head's 12-band equalizer give you full, detailed control over the timbre of your bass. Gain (pre-EQ) and master volume (post-EQ) are individually adjustable. The Retroglide 800 is equipped with two inputs - one hi, one lo - which makes it suitable for both passive and active bass guitars. On the back you'll find a combo SpeakOn/jack output and a DI output (XLR), allowing for a direct link to a mixer. Finally, a line input, tuner output and connectors for your effects pedals are also at your disposal.
