Ashdown Original Evo C112-300 Bass Amplifier

Full Description

Compact combo that delivers confident stage volume

The Original Evo C112-300 focuses on combining power with portability. A single 12 inch speaker and a lightweight chassis make transport straightforward. Yet the combo still provides the authority needed for small venues and larger rehearsal spaces.

Its 300-watt output maintains clarity even at higher volumes, supporting a wide range of playing styles from rounded fingerstyle work to more aggressive techniques. This balance of strength and convenience suits regular gigging, frequent travel and situations that demand dependable performance without excessive weight.

Five-band EQ for detailed tone shaping

The five-band EQ section gives access to a carefully spaced set of frequency controls. Lo-mid and hi-mid bands make it possible to highlight growl, warmth or articulation. Bass and treble controls frame the overall character, while the central mid control helps refine presence in busy mixes.

This structure allows the combo to adapt to bright single coil instruments, deeper humbucker voices or extended-range basses. It also suits players who move between styles that demand different tones during a single set.

Practical features suited to modern bass workflows

A front-facing FX loop supports pedals that benefit from being placed after the preamp stage. The XLR DI output provides a clean and reliable feed for live sound engineers or recording interfaces. A headphone output allows silent practice sessions, useful in shared spaces or late-night rehearsal routines.

The kickback capability shifts the combo into a monitoring angle, helping projection reach the player clearly during performances. These features contribute to a flexible setup that adapts to varied musical environments.

Durable and lightweight design

The chassis, handles and finish are designed for long-term reliability. Scuff-resistant surfaces help maintain a presentable appearance, even when the combo is moved frequently between venues or studios.

Internal components are housed securely to withstand regular loading and unloading. With a 5-year warranty, the amplifier provides reassurance for musicians who rely on stable performance night after night. This mixture of strength and practicality makes the Original Evo C112-300 a dependable choice for demanding schedules.
