[quote name='icastle' post='1084867' date='Jan 10 2011, 09:20 PM']I can't find the reference, but I do remember readng that Ashdown stuff was originally made in the UK but latter models were made abroad. You can't buy enough english made electronic components to make an amp anyway these days - all the components tend to be sourced in the far east regardless of country of manufacture of the final product.[/quote] Granted there's hardly any component manufacturers left here in the UK but what I mean by 'hand made' in essesnce is an item that's designed and the boards etc assembled here rather than boards mass-manufactured overseas.

Can anyone recommend a manufacturer here in England of hand made (not imported as assemblies or re-badged) rack-mountable bass amps that also warrant and support them to the same level? I heard say once that Ashdown sort of carried on with hand made stuff where Trace Elliot (UK) left off, any truth there ?? If so which of their models can anyone suggest with respect to the above question ??? Thanks..
