"This is a (discontinued) Ashdown Drophead 200 all tube bass amp. 6550 (4), 12AX7 (2), 12AU7 (1). It is one of the sweetest sounding tube rigs I have heard. Word on the street is it was a model originally commissioned by Adam Clayton of U2 for the studio. It is very Ampeg B-15ish with an Ashdown tonal twist. Extremely tubey and vintage/old sounding. Very warm, smooth, and huge sounding. It is 200 tube watts, but I would say the 200 watts is a bit of an over estimate. However, the character makes it plenty loud to keep up with the loudest of drummers. It gets very loud, very fast as the tubes get pushed over half.
