This amp is a 2004 model so really new. It is the upgraded version with a ridiculous 180 watts + plus subharmonics and so much more crap that i barely know what to do with it. This amp was a incredibally cheap and is such high quality. Although the line is no longer made in america or britain it still is very high quality. This new version comes with a headphone jack unlike it's predecessors and has both passive and active imputs. This amp has everything needed to shack the foundations of your home with everything from funk to to punk!
Sound Quality: 9
I play a 2003 Fender Aerodyne bass. This bass already has a very versatile sound, but combined with the electric blue! It is jawdropping how easy it is to go from a nice warm funk to a hip hoppy bottom end to a growly metal sound. The amp is very punchy and very affordable.
Reliability: 10
Built like a tank. Have played 30 odd shows with and never ever had a any problem. This baby is loud enough to stand up to some stacks I've seen! This thing shook my apartment so much that my landlord threatened to kick me out of the dman building! I'd take this baby to hell and back with out a worry!
Customer Support: 10
After i had some trouble tracking one down i contacted costumer service and they directed me towards stores and contacted over 20 stores in my area to see if any had them in stock! Great service Great product.
Overall Rating: 10
I have been playing 8 years now and have learned many instruments finaly finding myself with a bass in hand that just wouldn' go away! Since then i have never ever seen an amplifier that rivals the sheer value of the electric blue. I would buy it over and over again!
看了上面的评价，可能大家会对ASHDOWN BASS AMP有个初步的了解，MAG属于经济，高品质，又美观的BASS AMP，ABM系列还用说吗？
观察下你手中的BASS 视频，你不会陌生把。。。。
关于MAG和ABM我今后会找些欧美的测评选刊出来让大家有个详细的了解！
