The Ashdown UK-OBM-C112T-500 is a complete bass amplification solution built around the proven OBM philosophy of clean tone, simplicity, and rugged practicality. Hand-built in the UK and finished in bold Ice Blue, this 500-watt ultra-compact combo combines amplifier and cabinet into one cohesive unit, making it ideal for players who want powerful performance without the need for a separate head.
At the heart of the combo is a premium Sica 12" speaker, chosen for its clarity, punch, and ability to handle the full output of the 500-watt power section. Its kickback design allows the cabinet to be angled upward, giving bassists improved stage monitoring and a tighter sense of their tone in any situation from rehearsals and club gigs to studio tracking.
The control section features a responsive 5-band EQ, giving precise command over low, mids, and highs, while the classic Shape function delivers an instant sculpted tone that enhances low-end depth and high-end clarity. An FX Loop provides clean integration for external pedals, and the combo retains the OBM line's practical layout for straightforward, intuitive operation.
Visually, the UK-OBM-C112T-500 stands out with its durable Charcoal Tweed finish, Silver Weave grill cloth, and clean, modern aesthetics that pairs perfectly with the new Ice Blue OBM series. Internally, its lightweight construction and efficient design make transportation effortless while maintaining the robustness needed for real-world use.
Compact yet commanding, the UK-OBM-C112T-500 offers bassists a powerful, reliable, and highly usable combo that delivers classic Ashdown tone, modern portability, and gig-ready performance all in a single, beautifully built unit.
