The ABM-750 EVO V contains an impressive cache of tone-enhancing features, such as a 9-band EQ for meticulous sound shaping, plus variable valve drive, a sub-harmonic generator, and a muscular onboard compressor. You also get mains voltage switching, temperature-controlled low-noise cooling, a top-shelf, transformer-isolated DI output, and VU meters for both your input and output signals. The bassists here at Sweetwater really appreciate the ABM-750 EVO V's FX loop, SpeakON speaker outputs, and line input. The ABM-750 EVO V comes complete with a stealthy all-black design ? exactly what you need for a stage-ready, anonymous backline. For solid bass tone with variable tube grind and a pro-level feature set, you can't go wrong with the Ashdown ABM-750 EVO V.





Replete with tone-enhancing features





The Ashdown ABM-750 EVO V makes dialing in a showstopping tone easy. Its ingenious 9-band EQ section starts ? but doesn't end with ? standard Bass, Middle, and Treble rotary knobs. You also get six additional sliders between the knobs, enabling you to sculpt your sound into just about any form you can imagine. This bass amp head's variable Valve Drive control dials in everything from clean and punchy to warm to all-out grind. You also get a sub-harmonic generator that yields thunderous, rafter-shaking sounds that are guaranteed to leave an impression, along with a brawny onboard compressor.





Ashdown delivers the modern bass sound





With a solid artist roster that includes Adam Clayton of U2, James Jamerson, Jr., and the late, great John Entwistle of The Who, Ashdown delivers the sound of modern bass. Launched in 1996, the company has been guided by a singular vision: doing it right. We know you need reliable amplification, and Ashdown amps are built for serious tour-grade abuse. Whether tube or solid-state circuits (or both) are employed, Ashdown amps serve up punchy, powerful tone with remarkable transparency and deep, controlled low end, along with exceptional mid-band attack and high-end brilliance. Take the stage with bass equipment that won’t let you down. Rock with Ashdown.





Delivers more power and dynamics





"Like everything we do, the ABM EVO V is developed in response to the needs of our customers. An increasing number of players have been asking if we can bridge the dual output sections of our ABM 1200 head. The new ABM EVO V answers that need for more power and dynamics." ? Mark Gooday, founder/owner, Ashdown Engineering
