Studio Series, Expanded

The Ashdown UK-SBM-115-500 extends the Studio-inspired SBM line with a fuller, more commanding voice centred around a single Sica 15" speaker. Hand-built in the UK and delivering 500 watts of clean, confident output, it's designed for bassists who want rich low-end presence, smooth midrange balance, and clear definition in a portable combo format.

Big Speaker, Balanced Response

At the core of the UK-SBM-115-500 is a carefully selected Sica 15" driver, chosen for its ability to produce broad, supportive lows while maintaining articulation and control. The cabinet is tuned to let the speaker breathe naturally, ensuring the bass remains full and powerful without becoming loose or overpowering in a mix.

Expressive Tone Control

A responsive Overdrive circuit allows players to introduce anything from subtle warmth to more aggressive growl, adapting easily to different musical styles and dynamics. This flexibility ensures the combo remains equally effective for clean studio-style tones and more expressive, character-driven sounds.
