If you're a bass player, you're probably tired of lugging your stage amp around every time you want to set up and groove. Enter Ashdown's Studio Jnr combo bass amplifier. Providing unmatched weight reduction, this 15-watt amp is lighter than most without sacrificing what's most important: tone. The Studio Jnr is loaded with a custom-designed, 8-inch-sealed Ashdown speaker that pushes a balanced and even tone. The amp comes with a 3-band EQ for powerful tone sculpting. There's even an onboard 1/8-inch aux in for grooving along to backing tracks and a 1/4-inch headphone output for stage and personal monitoring. With this latter output, you can even feed into an interface or console for studio tracking. Take it from bassists at Sweetwater: the Ashdown Studio Jnr bass combo delivers the goods in sounding as good as it looks.

Built for quiet practice and tracking sessions





Don't want to crank up the volume to get studio-quality bass tone? The Studio Jnr's onboard 1/4-inch headphone output delivers the classic Ashdown amp response directly into your in-ears, studio cans, or nearfields. Not only does this give you the option to rock out as hard as you want without disturbing your neighbors, but it lets you output that iconic Ashdown bass tone directly into a recording medium for safekeeping your favorite grooves.





An amp you can carry with one finger





Ashdown designed the Studio series amplifiers to be portable without losing their practicality. Thanks to its super-lightweight ply construction, this amp weighs in at just 13.4 pounds. The weight reduction doesn't stop there: the speaker was specifically designed by Ashdown to make this amp light enough to lift with just one finger.





Classic look, authentic Ashdown sound





When you take this amp out of the box, you'll love the clean, vintage-looking face. Heavy-duty black tolex and chrome corner protectors will help you protect your amp from scratches and bumps for years. And setting the EQs at noon, this amp will pump out the warm and articulate Ashdown sound you know and love.
