Ashdown is excited to announce the UK-PBM-200, a brand-new UK-built micro bass head designed for players who need real power in the smallest possible format.

Nicknamed the Pocket Bass Magnifier, the UK-PBM-200 takes the freedom and portability inspired by the original Ashdown ANT and reimagined it as a fully featured, handcrafted British amplifier – compact enough to travel anywhere, yet powerful enough for real-world performance.

Despite fitting easily into a backpack or gig bag, the UK-PBM-200 delivers a confident 200 watts of clean, articulate output, offering bassists an ultra-light solution that works equally well for rehearsals, fly-in gigs, studio sessions, and modern stage setups.

Finished in Ashdown’s striking Ice Blue and built in the UK, the UK-PBM-200 brings professional reliability to a truly portable format.

At the heart of the UK-PBM-200 is a practical, musician-focused feature set designed to maximise flexibility without unnecessary compexity:

Where the UK-RBM Series focuses on expansive tone sculpting, the UK-OBM range on clean practicality, and the UK-SBM combos on lightweight studio-inspired clarity, the UK-PBM-20 occupies a category of its own – true pocket portability.

Minimalist by design but uncompromising in performance, the UK-PBM-200 comfortably bridges the gap between rehearsal amp, travel rig, studio tool, and emergency backup

By combining UK craftsmanship with micro-amp format, Ashdown continues its mission to support bassists wherever they play – from bedrooms and backstage warm-ups to international stages.

The UK-PBM-200 represents a modern approach to bass amplification: compact, professional, and built for real musicians working in real-world conditions.
