Behringer Ultrabass BX4500H

This is the Ultrabass BX4500H bass head by Behringer. Price point you are probably thinking 'Wow this is great' In this case 'Buy nice or buy twice' rings true.

I must say Behringer has an excellent customer service department, but I would suggest saving a little extra to buy a better amp.

My predicament was, let a nice bass amp sit in my car for 8 hours in the city while I work and lug it up and down steps by chance it doesn't get stolen from my car or buy a cheaper rig and leave it at my practice space.

That is why I ordered the Behringer. $250.

It offers you plenty of options in the preamp. The knobs are: Gain, Ultra Bass, Bass, Mid, Treble, Contour, Shape, Output and the front mounted DI out.

The sound was never call your friends over good, but I was able to cut over a 4-piece rock group.

The clip meter on the front is just about useless. Mine never really worked right, but hey who cares.

Within 90 days of owning the thing it overheated just from normal use. I wasn't really maxing it either. I ran the gain at 3 o'clock hoping to get a little grit and then my output was around 10 o'clock.

It was mounted in a carpeted box. Weight was reasonable.

Every company lets a few duds out of the factory and maybe that was what mine was. I called customer support when mine over heated and they set me up with a new amp in a timely fashion.

Bass player since 1966.(15 yrs old!)
Played all sorts of styles since then.
60's pop,70's rock,80's glam.

Weeks of internet/forum research.Decided to ignore "snobs" comments about Ashdown copy
& bought the Head, 1x15 Cab & 2x10 Cab for under £500 incl delivery.Gear arrived in 3 days.You simply can't beat that for a full stack.
Bought via the Internet from GAK (UK)

Price! Price! Price!
The gear also looks good.It does look similar to Ashdown,what's wrong with that?
I got the full stack for the price of an Ashdown head.
Plenty of power,& once you get used to the EQ section,loads of tonal variations via the SHAPE control.The cabs don't break your back either.

The Ultrabass function doesn't impress me, so I never use it.I wish Behringer would replace this with Compression control.
I rated this amp 4 out of 5 because it didn't have Compression control.
Regarding the cabinets....you don't have any control over the Tweeters.They are either On or Off (via a switch)
Too drastic sometimes, so a pot would be better.
Master volume pot is way too sensitive.
Would prefer it to be "notched" like Trace Elliot amp.Sometimes you need a quick tweak so you have to be careful with this pot.

Top marks for construction & quality.
1 year using it. No complaints here.

Apart from no compression control & the sensitive master volume, I can't fault this gear considering the price.

Bass player for 32 years. Playing locally though I've been in a couple of signed bands and toured the U.S. Pop alternative is what I'm listening to primarily now.

Bought the BX4500H at Guitar Center for $250 on credit card. I was in search of the ever elusive, "Magic Tone"

Can't beat the price or the tone, now that Behringer solved the noise problems on these units. I tried a couple units on opposite ends of town and, NOISE. Got a much newer unit and, perfect!!

Right now I can't think of a single thing I don't like about this unit. I've only had the unit for about 2 hours. I plan to use it tonight on a gig.

Totally compact and solid.

I don't know how Behringer does it with their products for the price. I've owned several Ampegs, SWR, Acoustic, Marshall, currently own a Gallien-Krueger. This thing sounds like an Ashdown bass head but for 1/4 of the price!! For me, Behringer hit this one out of the park!!

If your budget is not too high and the bass player you are (beginner or average), then the purchase you will not be disappointed as long as you have speakers that go with my head since 2006 this is me believe it was seen, hey nothing moves ever crashed always the same power of sound.
I understand not to say that this shit an amp, for me it was they who shit in your ears.
