Housed in a rugged 18mm Marine grade birch ply cabinet, this amplifier is built to withstand the rigors of touring with features like heavy-duty flip-style handles and an internal cooling fan. At its core, the CTM-300 utilizes a five-valve preamp and six KT88 output tubes, delivering the warm, rich, and punchy tones that bassists crave.

The CTM-300’s versatile tone controls include Deep, Mid Shift, and Bright switches, allowing you to sculpt your sound to perfection, while user-adjustable tube biasing and individually fused tubes make maintenance easy and cost-effective. The dual-function VU meter provides real-time monitoring and bias adjustment, ensuring optimal performance. For stage and studio, the tube-driven DI output with an isolated ground offers pristine sound quality, and the front-mounted, tube-driven effects loop preserves your tone. The Ashdown CTM-300 combines timeless valve-driven character with modern features, making it the ultimate choice for serious bassists seeking uncompromising sound and craftsmanship.
