Welcome to the family

We would like to welcome Tye Trujillo to the Ashdown Family of bass players..

One of our youngest artists and arguably the coolest bass player we have the honour of working with... We were recently contacted by Tye regarding the chance to try our amps out after spending some time with our good friend Shavo Odadjian from System of a Down, Tye had always been a fan of Shavo’s sound live and on the records, we were more than happy to send a rig out for Tye to try and get his teeth stuck into... We were just sent some great shots from Tye with his New Ashdown ABM rig in the rehearsal studio with his band ‘Otto’.

Tye isn’t your normal 12 year old, having your father as the Bass Player in Metallica will have its knock on effect so much so last year saw Tye head out on tour with the mighty KORN filling in for Fieldy for the South American leg of the bands world tour.

Check out this video of Tye on tour with KORN last summer...

Tye has been busy since then, with school to finish and shows to play we can’t wait to see what’s next for the NEW generation of bass players
