Experience the Ashdown Rootmaster RM C210-500-T EVO II, the ultimate solution for bassists in search of Ashdown's renowned tone, power, and reliability without the heavy bulk of high-power amplifiers. Weighing in at a mere 18KG, this combo amp packs a punch with 500 watts of power, thanks to its two 10" Whiteline Ashdown drivers. What sets it apart is the inclusion of an onboard headphone preamp, allowing for silent practice sessions.

This feature-packed amplifier includes both passive and active input jacks, a 5-band EQ, onboard compressor, and Ashdown's signature VU meter for precise control. The drive control offers rich valve-emulated overdrive, while the sub-harmonic controls add depth to your tone. Plus, it's footswitch-compatible for added convenience. The rear panel is equipped with a balanced DI out, Line In, FX Loop, and more. It even has a mute switch for silent tuning and instrument changes. The new matt anodized alloy front panel enhances visibility under stage lighting.
Whether you're performing live or honing your skills in private, the Ashdown Rootmaster RM C210-500-T EVO II is your ideal bass companion.
