Hey guys,

Me and Dave shot this demo for Ashdown’s intensely awesome Ashdown CTM 100 Bass head. He rips through this thing, plus he’s using the very lovely Chapman MLB-1.

It’s so huge and we use it for both Toska and Dorje now. It OWNS!!!

Enjoy

  • So no one notices the settings on the amp don't really change through this demo? I own a CTM300, CTM100 and a CTM30. I love these amps. But? This demo seems a bit contrived.

  • The Ampeg PF-50T is another tube bass amp that allows you to bias it yourself.

  • I actually bought a CTM100 two years ago because I saw this video, it's been a trusty amplifier that's never broken down.

    Loving the tones on this vid Dave!

  • Thanks for the nice review Dave, very interesting and informative. I have a Trace Elliot hybrid and am interested in an all tube head at about 100W.

  • its downright sad how few people actually show this much variety. Everyone seems to assume bass players only want to hear slap/funky sounds. Gimme some more dirt! more fuzz, gain, grit, distortion, drive, and just plain dirty metal bass playing.

  • Dave is one of few bassists that guitarists can't make fun of for being a bassist, because he's that fucking good.

  • Interesting?! Sounds awesome! 100 watts though?? From a gigging perspective what are we looking at here do you think?? Max pub gigs or more???

  • This video is exactly what I have wanted to see for a while now.  By the way, I am already subscribed to Dave.

    Now, if I could just clue Dave into the Fearless F215 cab (I bet the F212 would be plenty, at 75% of the weight) available from Tricky Audio…

  • Would love to see a review of the CTM15!  I'm looking at running one alongside the Little Bastard for a stereo rig.

  • Some good bass playing Dave, good video. That background song is great, can someone tell me what it is?

  • As a part time engineer and full time graphic designer, I am both digging the amplifier and the logo. Nice stuff guys!
