ASHDOWN

Founded in 1997 by Mark Gooday, Ashdown Engineering quickly became a major player in the bass amp world. Mark, with his extensive experience at Trace Elliot, was driven by a simple goal: to build a better bass amp. Inspired by feedback from bass legends like John Entwistle, Mark designed the ABM series, which set new standards in tone, power, and reliability.

Ashdown amps gained immediate popularity, with iconic bassists quickly adopting them, including The Who’s John Entwistle. The company’s trademark VU meter became a symbol of quality on stages worldwide.

Today, under Mark’s son Dan Gooday, Ashdown continues to innovate, with a product range that includes tube and hybrid amps, practice amps, FX pedals, and studio monitors. With a dedicated team, Ashdown stays true to its roots, offering bass amps that reflect their passion for the craft and their commitment to serving bassists around the world.
