Built by hand in Essex, England, the Ashdown UK-CL-112H is a Classic Custom Shop 1x12 bass cabinet designed for players who won't compromise on speaker quality, cabinet construction, or British craftsmanship. This is not a mass-market cab — it is a purpose-built enclosure from Ashdown's premium UK workshop, and it shows in every detail. At the heart of the UK-CL-112H is a B&C neodymium 12-inch driver — a premium speaker known for fast transient response, extended frequency range, and significantly reduced weight compared to ceramic-loaded alternatives. Paired with a high-frequency horn and 3-way variable crossover, the cabinet delivers controlled top-end clarity without harshness, making it equally at home under a clean fingerstyle tone or a driven, aggressive slap attack. Power handling is rated at 700 watts program / 350 watts AES at 8 ohms nominal impedance, with a sensitivity of 98.5 dB — figures that reflect a cabinet built for real-world stage and studio demands. The enclosure is constructed from birch ply with internal bracing and a tuned bass-reflex port for tight, dynamic low-end that stays controlled at volume. Pro-level details carry through to every connection point: genuine Neutrik Speakon connectors ensure a secure, roadworthy signal path, and an offset carry handle improves balance during transport. At 18.80 kg (41.4 lbs), the neodymium driver keeps the weight meaningfully lower than a comparable ceramic-loaded 1x12. Visually, the UK-CL-112H is unmistakably Ashdown Classic Custom Shop: finished in Buffalo Tolex with silver & blue weave grill cloth, chrome corners, and the iconic Ashdown double-wing badge. It pairs naturally with any Ashdown Classic or ABM head for a complete, cohesive UK-built rig.
