I have an Ashdown ABM rig that I use live with my band but needed something small for jamming around and practicing so after looking at all the options pulled the trigger on the baby of the Ashdown family the After 8.

Had it for a few weeks now and all I can say is that it is awesome. Obviously it doesnt really compete with my big rig, but for £65 this is a fantastic little amp. Nice and punchy with a great EQ and that deep switch really works. I can also plug my ipod into it and play along which is very handy when learning new tunes plus I can use headphones with it which is great for when your girlfriend is asleep and doesnt want to hear any more Rage Aginst The Machine Basslines.

All in all does what it says on the tin, superb value for money, great tone, very portable and a great way to Ashdown ownership.
