Ashdown UK-PBM-200 – Pocket-Sized Bass Power, Built in the UK The Ashdown UK-PBM-200 Pocket Bass Magnifier is an ultra-compact bass amplifier head designed for players who want a genuinely portable rig without giving up the essentials needed for rehearsals, recording and live performance. Hand-assembled in the UK and finished in distinctive Ice Blue, the PBM-200 delivers 196 watts RMS into 4 ohms and 140 watts RMS into 8 ohms from a chassis measuring just 210mm wide. The idea is simple: give bassists a capable amplifier that can travel alongside the rest of their gear rather than requiring another large, heavy case. A responsive 3-band EQ, classic Ashdown Pre-Shape, balanced DI connectivity and headphone output give the PBM-200 enough flexibility to work as a compact rehearsal head, home practice amplifier, studio front-end or lightweight live rig. For bassists who value portability but still want a proper amplifier rather than a stripped-back practice solution, the PBM-200 is a particularly appealing option. Why Choose the Ashdown UK-PBM-200?

For rehearsals, smaller performances and venues where the bass is also being sent to the PA system, it provides a practical alternative to transporting a substantially larger amplifier. Classic Ashdown Pre-Shape One of the most useful controls on the PBM-200 is Ashdown's familiar Pre-Shape function. Rather than spending time adjusting several EQ controls individually, Pre-Shape gives you an immediate tonal contour designed to produce a clear, polished bass sound. This is particularly useful when: Setting up quickly before a rehearsal Moving between different
