Ampeg Portabass PB250 Head
Published on 11/18/04 at 15:00Guitar Center in Colonie NY US $350 for the
floor model, documented as new, under full warranty, because Guitar Centers decided to
cease selling the Portabass series.
Only weighs 14 lbs/6kg and puts out 250W
@4ohm, has loop blend knob the usual array
of ins & outs, 4knob EQ, shift buttons for
the hi & lo mids, plus deep and brite.
It's got an AC power pilot light like an
aircraft landing light. You KNOW when you
leave it powered on.
Cannot operate at less than 4ohms.
Costs more than Acoustic Image amp of same
power, but Ampeg is 3X heavier00 - crrcrrPublished on 02/27/08 at 00:36 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Compact head with a capacity of under 4ohms 250W all transistors. 2 outputs are arranged: Speakon or jack.
4-band EQ (bass, mid severe acute mid and treble) + switches to dig each frequency. It was also a gain knob, the volume of the effects loop and master.
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use (one branch and direct it sounds) you can get all the sounds that you desire. The simple configuration of knobs makes it possible not to take the lead and everything is done simply and naturally

I played before on a Hartke HA3500 head and ... nothing to do. It's like comparing a Ferrari with a 2cv ...
OVERALL OPINION
I for a year now and I'm satisfied, but WARNING: this head, although it does sound extremely well the power to play in a metal band (I know something; _ It will be perfect, and a consultant for that matter, for anything related to music in small groups, or for concert piano bar for example.
So for all bass players who do not bother with a big head lamp in their movements and who are not of metal ... the purchase, it's well worth the effort.
Points will be awarded within the lack of power and the price high.
In addition, the "clip", which is the disease AMPEG amps, does not help the lack of power.
The 800w version looks very nice. If you have the means, rather steer you towards itSee less21
