General
This RM500C112 Rootmaster is one of the amps from Ashdown's Evolution series. It's an amplifier combo for bass guitar with 500 watts of power and a 12-inch speaker. This handy combo features a 5-band equalizer with adjustable 240 Hz and 1.5 kHz filters, so the mid range is kept tight and subdued. If you need it to, however, the Ashdown RM500C112 Rootmaster can go lower than low thanks to its sub-harmonic generator.
Ashdown RM500C112 Rootmaster delivers lots of low
Using the drive knob will add more gain while the compressor reduces unwanted peaks. A built-in DI ensures you can take this Ashdown on tour. When plugged into the PA, this potent little bass amp works well as a stage monitor. It's also equipped with FX loop, and you can play backing tracks, for example, using the extra line input. You can adjust the volume with the line mix knob on the front panel.
Ashdown delivers a modern sound
Ashdown amplifiers deliver a punchy sound with lots of dynamics, a controlled low and a modern feel. Bassists like John Entwhistle of The Who and U2's Adam Clayton are known for their Ashdown bass amps sound. Over the years, this amp brand has proven to deliver road-worthy gear!
