Behringer ULTRABASS BXD3000H Ultra-Lightweight 300 Watt 2 Channel Bass Amplifier Head with FBQ Spectrum Analyzer, Ultrabass Processor and Compressor

Pros: excellent quality pre-amp, good EQ / Compression, plenty power for small to medium size gigs, useful headphone practice features, helpful channel footswitch included, very light, low-cost - may buy second as backup / dual-amping my twin cab for slightly larger gigs. Cons (negligible): a couple of LEDs on Graphic EQ sliders are intermittent but the sliders also show the profile set, don't need the UltraBass sub-octaver, prefer the natural sound from the active dual-mic in the bass bridge

Ok.... Some of you may have heard of behringer or some of you may not... For those who have not heard good things about them read this....This amp is probably the best value for money I've ever bought.... It's just great, the tone and power is excellent, it can be adjusted to suit and as long as you have a good speaker cab (mine is a laney 1x15 250w) it will give you hours of pleasure.Comes with a foot pedal to switch channels, the mega bass channel gives you a basic octave effect which is ok on the higher string notes, the overdrive channel adds a bit of fuzz if you want it.. The clean channel is nice and clear, no hum at all..... all I hear is the sound of the cooling fan for the electronics when I stop playing (not audible thru the loud speaker I hasten to add!!!)The input for audio device is quiet and best used with headphones...DI socket round the back is good for PA instead of dangling a mike over the speaker therefore giving you a clean sound input into the PA desk as standard...The delivery is within 3 days in the uk (tracked too!)Just need to buy a rack box to protect it in as it's light and therefore vulnerable to getting knocked or damaged if you take it out on the road, that's the only downside.

Ideal for the home. I'm using it along with an old 70's M||M 100 watt, 8 ohms cabinet and a early 80's Fender Jazz Bass. It's the first time I have bought anything of Behringer, and I think it's a great buy for its price range.

If you want an 'affordable' amp that does what it says then look no further. I have had a lot of bass amps in my years of gigging and I bought this amp as an emergency buy to get me up and running after my old Ampeg decided to blow up during a weekend of gigs and with money being tight at the time went for this Behringer and to be honest I'm glad I did I am very impressed with it, it is simply brilliant. This amp, in my opinion, can easily compete with other amps on the market and having Class D components inside makes it extremely lightweight for its size. The tones, sub harmonic feature and power output it boasts are incredible plus with the compression, anti feedback and graphic equalizer features, make this little amp a strong contender against other big name amps on the market. Well done to all at Behringer, I'll certainly be looking at more of your products in the future. Value for money? Definitely!!

I bought this as the old 80's solid state lump I used at home finally died and my stage rig is to big for home use.Blown away... good power for such a small size, very light weight and compact, nice sound, nice features (drive channel and the Ultrabass on a foot switch really kicks ass.) and runs well through a 160w 2x10.All that for that price... Damn!Hell, i'm gonna try it at down the rehearsal room through a trace Elliot 1x15 just to see if it goes all the way to 11

Needed to replace my 20yr old Peavey mkIII and after reading the other reviews on here I decided to give this a go until I could afford a more powerful amp head. Absolutely over the moon with it, top quality amp head and a really great price too. I think I may stick with this for a good while. Works great with my effects unit, and the ultrabass and distortion channels are perfect for a nice deep crunchy sound.Very pleased with this purchase.

I was so disappointed with this. It was very noisy, even with low gain.I didn't try putting noise gate on the output because the tone through it also didn't sound good in my opinion, so I returned it to the store.It probably is okay if you are just learning or practicing bass, but if you are going to record the sound or play in front of people, it doesn't sound good.I replaced it with the Laney Nexus tube bass amp studio and what a difference, no noise and awesome tones.
