Ashdown Little Bastard 30 Valve Bass Head

30w All Valve Mini Bass head, passive preamp, fitted with 4 x EL84 Valves

Rebellious, uncompromising and cool as f***, James Dean – and the car he nicknamed the Little Bastard – are the inspiration for this iconic, all-tube mini bass amp head. Rated at 30-Watts, the Little Bastard won’t rip your head off, but its EL84-equipped power section is more than capable enough for small gigs. And, of course, it won’t put your back out on the way.

The Little Bastard preamp stage employs ECC83 and ECC82 tubes and features High and Low gain inputs, front panel-mounted Effects Send and Return, rotary Bass, Middle and Treble controls with Mid Shift, Bass Shift and Bright switching, Mute switch, rotary Volume control and balanced DI output. The Little Bastard head partners perfectly with a range of Ashdown US Series cabinets.

For those players who worship at the altar of glass, fire and high-voltage, Ashdown has created a superb range of valve bass amplification. Available in three strengths, the BTA combines the sophistication of our ABM preamp with sledgehammer, all-tube output stages. The 550 Spyder head and Touring combo reverse the process, using the ABM's thrilling 500-watt power stage to deliver the rich harmonics of an all-tube preamp. And for the purists, the stunning 427 Small Block and the irrepressible Little Bastard cook-up their magic from a list of ingredients that's 100% tube. Ashdown valve bass amps are hand-made in England. Prepare to feel the heat.

Boutique bass tone at an amazing price.
