Ashdown Studio-10 Bass Combo Amp

Lightweight design. Serious low-end authority.

The Ashdown Studio-10 is proof that great bass tone doesn’t have to come in a back-breaking package. Weighing just 8.5kg (18.7lbs), this ultra-portable combo delivers genuine Ashdown character and punch in a format that’s easy to carry to rehearsals, lessons or small gigs.

Despite its compact footprint, the Studio-10 pushes out 50 watts of premium Ashdown tone through a custom-designed 10" Ashdown speaker, giving you tight low-end response, articulate mids and plenty of presence for home practice and intimate live settings. It’s small enough for the bedroom, but capable enough to handle real-world playing situations.

Tone shaping is where the Studio-10 really shines. The 5-band EQ (Bass, Low Mid, Middle, Hi-Mid and Treble) gives you precise control across the frequency spectrum, allowing you to dial in everything from warm vintage thump to modern clarity. Set the EQ at 12 o’clock and you’ll land straight into that signature Ashdown sound — warm, rounded and beautifully articulate.

Engage the Pre Shape control for instant tonal character, or add grit with the built-in valve-emulated drive, delivering rich harmonic warmth without losing definition. It’s responsive, musical and perfect for adding bite when needed.

Practical features make this combo incredibly versatile. A line input lets you jam along with backing tracks, while the headphone out enables silent practice without sacrificing tone. The Line Mix control allows you to balance your external audio source with your bass signal, and a speaker mute switch gives you complete control when practising quietly or sending signal elsewhere.

Built for durability as well as tone, the Studio-10 is housed in a robust poplar ply cabinet, finished with heavy-duty tolex and protected by chrome metal corners. It’s designed to handle regular use while maintaining a sleek, professional look.

Lightweight, loud and highly flexible, the Studio-10 is exactly the kind of portable, great-sounding bass combo that players gravitate toward at Musicmaker — reliable, powerful and built to perform.
