Ashdown are proud to introduce the RB-800, a UK-made bass amp head designed in collaboration with Rex Brown of Pantera. Built for bass players who value power, versatility, and durability, the RB-800 delivers 800 watts of tour-proven, high-performance, packaged into a lightweight and robust design.
Building on the legacy of Ashdown’s Rootmaster series, the RB-800 provides everything a hard-working bassist could need. From one of the most comprehensive EQ systems in the industry to Ashdown’s renowned Sub Harmonic Generator, this amp offers deep tonal flexibility.
It also features a smooth Compression control and a variable Valve Emulated Drive, giving bassist the tools to craft everything from clean tones to gritty, overdriven sounds. The RB-800 is truly the Swiss Army Knife of bass amplification.
One of the key features of the RB-800 is its Analogue Cab Sim D.I output, designed to meet the evolving needs of modern bass players.
As silent stages and in-ear monitoring become the norm, this addition allows for greater flexibility onstage and front-of-house monitoring, ensuring an exceptional monitor mix in any setting. This makes the RB-800 an ideal choice for today’s bassist, whether playing live or recording in the studio.
Like all Ashdown products, the RB-800 is engineered to last. Responsibly designed with repairability in mind, it can be serviced down to a component level, ensuring a lifespan of over 15 years.
This commitment to sustainability allows us to offer an unmatched 5-year warranty, providing players with peace of mind that their amp will perform for years to come.
