Guitar Tube Amp
The Best Bass Amp For Your Best Sound
You need a good sound from your bass guitar when you play in a band. You don’t want to be drowned out by the vocals, the drums or lead guitar. As the bass guitar player, you can take your sound into your own hands. You want to ensure the volume is loud and clear, independent of PA amplification. If you play bass guitar, you need a far higher wattage on your amp than a guitarist, if you are to create a tight low end. Finding the right amplification required for you can be done by testing out the different types of amps available.
Basics to consider when buying.
The first thing you need to consider is your budget. The Cheapest bass amp is not always necessarily the best option as it may not withstand the beating you intend to give it or give you the best sound. You usually get what you pay for, so try to open your wallet as far as you can if you are a serious player, as this will work out better in the long run. You will also need to choose between a combo amp or an amp that is traditional with cabinet/head setup. After you have ascertained what you need, you get to do the fun bit. When you go to the store, it is preferable you take your own bass to try out the different amps.
Like a kid in a candy shop.
From Behringer, Hartke, Laney, Mark Bass and Marshall, there are many different models to choose from. Let’s do a quick rundown. The Behringer BX4500 Head is crammed with features and powerful too, not only that, it’s quite an attainable choice where your money is concerned. For that timeless bass sound packed with brut power, you will want a Behringer BVT5500H. Packed with a load of features like the voice selector with sound variants it is the most impressive for ultimate sound control. The Hartke 410XL Bass Cabinet is a favourite amongst professionals for its meticulously calibrated and tuned cabinet set up and the Little Mark Rocker 500 is an ideal choice for rock bass players. Boasting custom-designed tube drive circuitry, it allows a bigger range of sound distortion as well as on board overdrive. Looking for a crisp, full sound with 100 watts per pound ration, go with the Mark Bass F1.
If you are willing to do some sound checks and investigation to get the right amp, you will be playing your deepest low end in no time. All you need is the right advice from someone who is in the know and you are assured of buying the best guitar amp for you.
