MGR/Billy « Behringer BX4500H »
Published on 04/20/11 at 15:00This 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.
