The Guitar Center Exclusive Ashdown Studio UK-SBM-110-100 100W 1x10" bass combo amp gives bassists a compact entry point into the UK Studio Bass Magnifier lineup. Built in the UK with a lightweight poplar-ply enclosure, it pairs 100W of output with a Sica NEO 10" speaker for practice, rehearsal, small performances and home recording setups where portability matters. Its 5-band EQ, switchable Pre-Shape, tube-emulated overdrive, balanced DI, FX loop and headphone output provide flexible tone shaping and connectivity in a compact format.

Portable 1x10" Format for Daily Playing

The 1x10" configuration delivers controlled low end and articulate midrange, giving bass lines definition in lower-volume environments without making the amp difficult to move. The Sica NEO speaker provides clear, immediate response, while the Charcoal Tweed covering and Silver Weave grille give the compact enclosure the visual identity of the larger UK-SBM models.

Studio-Inspired EQ and Overdrive Control

The UK-SBM preamp features a 5-band EQ that shares its tonal foundation with Ashdown’s UK-RBM and UK-OBM ranges. Bass, Lo-Mid, middle, Hi-Mid and treble controls let players shape the amp around different basses and rooms, while the Pre-Shape switch provides quick access to a familiar Ashdown tonal contour. The tube-emulated drive control adds warmth or grit while maintaining a straightforward front-panel layout.

Quiet Practice and Recording-Ready I/O

A balanced XLR DI output makes the UK-SBM-110-100 easy to integrate into recording and live sound setups, while the FX loop provides an insert point for pedals and processors. The headphone output mutes the speaker for silent practice, and the line input supports audio devices or line-level sources. Built in the UK and available as a Guitar Center Exclusive, the Ashdown Studio UK-SBM-110-100 combines 100W of output, a compact 1x10" format and flexible connectivity for everyday playing, practice and recording.
