The Guitar Center Exclusive Ashdown Studio UK-SBM-112-200 200W 1x12" bass combo amp puts UK-built Studio Bass Magnifier tone into a portable format for rehearsals, small gigs and home recording. Its 200W output drives a Sica NEO 12" speaker, giving bassists a practical step up in headroom and low-end authority without moving into a larger stage rig. A 5-band EQ, switchable Pre-Shape, tube-emulated overdrive, balanced XLR DI, FX loop, line input and headphone output make this compact combo easy to adapt for practice, pedals, recording or direct stage feeds.

1x12" Sica NEO Speaker With 200W Output

The 1x12" design gives the UK-SBM-112-200 a useful balance of punch, clarity and fuller cabinet response. Its Sica NEO speaker keeps the combo focused and portable while providing the projection needed for rehearsals, writing rooms and controlled live settings. The responsibly sourced poplar-ply enclosure supports the series’ emphasis on lightweight construction and portability.

5-Band EQ and Tube-Emulated Drive

The UK-SBM platform features a 5-band EQ shared with Ashdown’s UK-RBM and UK-OBM ranges, giving players dedicated bass, Lo-Mid, middle, Hi-Mid and treble controls for shaping the core voice. Set flat, the amp delivers warm, clear Ashdown character, while the drive control introduces tube-emulated overdrive for adjustable texture, edge and growl. A switchable Pre-Shape provides quick access to a familiar Ashdown tonal contour.

Practice, Recording and Live Connectivity

The balanced XLR DI output provides a direct signal for recording or front-of-house, while the FX loop supports pedals and processors through a TRS jack and Y cable. A 1/4" headphone output mutes the speaker for silent practice, and the line input accepts line-level instruments or audio devices. Built in the UK and available as a Guitar Center Exclusive, the Ashdown Studio UK-SBM-112-200 combines 200W of output, a portable 1x12" format and flexible connectivity for rehearsal, recording and small-stage applications.
