300 watt bass amp transistors
2 among jacks, an effects loop and output Pramp, 2 outputs for speakers
4-band EQ + 1 boost for bass and one for the treble
quite heavy, mine has wheels, very practical

USE

The rglages are easy learn, but provided very accurate, can be searched, and quickly made a good sound, boost the bass and the treble are very effective

SONORITS

It is very versatile and has a big potato, good dynamic and very powerful

NOTICE GLOBAL

This is a very good amp, very robust and allows out quite sonorits diffrentes should be any style of music I think.
it is heavy, it's a bit boring but the sound is

BXR300c

Solid-state amp made in USA
15-inch speaker, 300W rms into 4 ohms
Two inputs (for active or passive basses)
One compressor
Bass and High "enhance" (= boost)
EQ 1 bass, 1 mid and 1 frequency control, 1 treble
1 effects loop output and 1 input

As far as I'm concerned, and regarding this amp, I don't need anything more.

PS: I'm not sure about how much I paid for it ($350) ... It was a long time ago :p

USE

It couldn't be easier to dial in.
You can find your sound very easily.

SOUND

It's not the best for slap (it lacks a 4x10).
For blues / rock / metal / reggae, etc finger / pick... it's simply perfect

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it for...24 years! Ouch, time flies.
It has aged without a single cough, I have even used it to amplify an electric double bass, it's awesome.


In short, a good old FENDER (solid-state, but a good amp all the same), it sounds deep (awesome fullness!) round and warm with my Jazzbass Fender (what a sound

300-watt amp made in USA (it might seem stupid, but in the times we're living, I think it's interesting to point out). One good big 15" speaker, a control for the highs, one for the mids, one for the mid frequency, one for the bass and that's it, start making some music!
It features two inputs, a passive and an active one, and you can plug in you effects loops directly to it, which can be interesting if you have an EQ or a preamp.


USE

It' very easy to use, since it only has 4 controls plus a volume knob.
It produces good lows and, I have never been disappointed playing it with my JazzBass. It's obviously not an all-tube ampeg, granted, but being a solid-state amp, it has nothing to envy the new generation for.
And it's rugged!


SOUND

I use it with a Jazz Bass standard and, to be honest, it delivers in the low end. It doesn't have the most precise sound, it can be a bit muddled if you crank the volume up, but it responds very well when finger or pick playing, and even with slap (even if I don't master this technique). I play mostly rock!


OVERALL OPINION

It's been almost 10 years since I've been using it, I have used it for rehearsals and even some gigs in small venues or bars and it has never failed me. Good manufacturing quality, I think I could play ten more years without the sound being affected at all.
So, if you are used to playing hybrid amps of the likes of Hartke and Ashdown, we are not talking about the same category, but it's certainly more than enough for rehearsals and to play small venues!
It shouldn't be too expensive secondhand nowadays. So if you are looking for a powerful and quality amp, it's worth giving it a try!

Any amp transistors.
300W
Front: 2 inputs active / passive, an effects loop.
Rear panel: 2 HP output, one is already taken for the HP 18 "

UTILIZATION

Very very very simple configuration.
Easily obtained a good sound, and with the HP 15 "is better ... love the bass
I did not have a manual.
Additional info: it weighs 57kg (!!!) and has handles and wheels (essential).

SOUNDS

It is suitable for rock, blues, jazz ...
Used with a Vigier Passion and Noguera Expression.
You get what you want from this amp, the trick is knowing the right amount.
If the grave is particularly clear on this amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 1997. I sold it in 2004 because I use it more.
What I like most: the sound, the available power, strength ...
What I like least: transport ...
Very good value for money.
I would do this choice. This amp is a good investment and couvient ideal for small to medium rooms: concerts, rehearsal.

Transistors 300 Watts into 4 Ohms
2 inputs, effects loop, 3 band + paramtrables Mid and Treble and Bass Boost

UTILIZATION

Configuration very simple, a lot of sounds available thank you to two trs Boost efficiency especially Grave! The Medium is the paramtrage trs end, passing a little time we get to get really very fine nuances.

The compressor? Mine is not working or rather it serves as protection for pregnant, bustling rduire for a little power when it really buggers too.

I would put 9 because the compressor but otherwise nothing to say, simply and efficiently.

SOUNDS

Sounds very numerous, but for simple rglages. Submitted trs serious, but may be lacking a bit of precision.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years, I only have the head as I plug in a subwoofer peavey HP Eminence team of 2 * 15 inches. The sound is monstrous (can be a bit too) By pushing the amp a bit I fear for my windows, this amp ton power, absolutely phnomnale, my poor neighbors, I pity them!

UTILIZATION

In simple thoriated (regalge by potentiomtres)
in practice difficult to break something really original or with a grain intrssant.

SOUNDS

I used a Yamaha bass passive entry without: no prsence against a marshall JCM 900 + Start.

I added a boss pdalier Me8b: its a little more color but without much prsence.

Change of low Peduli MVP4: its rounder but still a.

Addition of a bass driver Guyatone pedals drive a minimum: warmer sound.

Addition of a fender 4x10 cabinet: fatal error, the sound is more than a boiling infme

Re change of bass (active low Xavier little exploring) but it's more slamming hard rgler trs.

Change amp amp lamp is the solution.

OVERALL OPINION

I have used for 5 years.
It is heavy and it does not ring.

Perfect for a non Submitted lower back.

Error absolutely avoid the addition of a 4x10 cabinet in or unplug while the internal baffle.

For me it is really not an amp for group play

See the reviews

8 because of the look and weight

UTILIZATION

The setup is simple if you want a blues sound, or "pre quiet" for all that is slamming or more grain bin is not empty rgler. So I bought him a SansAmp Bass driver that I use in prampli. And I rgale. It is a powerful amplifier with a beefy trs good HP, combined with the bass driver and my Musicman Stingray I have a warm sound with the grain and at the same time the low round property. As heavy, well all cash, the HP is indestructible.

SOUNDS

The sound with the driver on Bass Amp in good Ampeg are worthy, I'm not talking desz combos or B3 found in studio rptition. So for me it is a great power amp, a good body and good HP.

The prampli does not interest me, it works well with low passive if you like the sounds chubby.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a super good plan, we find 300 euros used, it is built for the road (not me, it is heavy, heavy trs ...), was associated with a SansAmp Ampeg not a good cher.Ne not say, "oh, the aut '!" m'coutent people who still think I play an Ampeg!

300W amplifier transistors.
Inputs act / passive preamp in & out, 2 HP, one of which is occupied by the 15 "original.

Volume, bass, 2 mids, treble. 2 buttons & bass boost treble boost, compressor. A diode that lights up if you play too hard ....

Removable casters significant.

No frills, in accordance with standards of the time. Équalo not to "bite-me-the-node" button "shape" contour and the whole shebang ...

In short: an amp rockers!

UTILIZATION

Config breeze.

A good sound is easily obtained because the knobs are used to something on this amp. You turn, it works. I had a Peavey and other brands made in China: you feel the difference. In digging the two mids, I'm sure that his slap is possible ... (not a fan, me)

Do not believe that 300W is the double of 150 to the ear. It just allows to have low soft and well defined, regardless of the volume carried without distortion that few bassists are fans (lemmy, if you read me, sorry ...)

WARNING: Never exceed VOLUME 6, you will destroy the HP. COMPRESSOR STILL engaged or second HP REQUIRED

SOUNDS

I play rock, hard rock "old school", there is no better. The bass is there, without distortion. Some media for the blues and Roll!!
No better in this price range, eh ... Come not breaking my ***** with Ampeg and Orange is not my ways ... it will never be.

Transistors, neutral, ensure faithful reproduction of the sound of each bass.

For € 300 (average price of a Rumble made in China or other contraband 100W), please, we still ...

After the minimum is to have fingers ... after, you're still local celebrities for whom it sounds wrong with their bass brick 3 ... at least they make us laugh, failing impress us ...

OVERALL OPINION

Two things are concerned about this combo:
1) weight: 65kg. Do as I do, you find a drummer who weighs twice
2) the HP just right not to seek to donf '

BUT:
1) it is not wood crate. It does not vibrate under his own bass. The body is twice as thick as the current combos. A real tank.
2) coupled with a 4X10 or 1X15 another, it sends badly!
Value / price: € 300, if you're not farted in money, that's fine. Otherwise, buy a Behringer Thomann (warf warf) and let him go back and forth between France and Germany for the SAV and plays acoustic ... waiting ...

Careful, do not necessarily agree with the music "modern "...( ugh!)

But for any rocker, it's all good ... I know some semi-pros who play over here since it came out ...

I will not rpter Previous descriptions are compltes.
One may regret the absence of DI output, which may be n'tait trsrpandu not the era of manufacture. So I give it 9 / 10!

UTILIZATION

Initially, I had 2 bodies Sylver Face Fender Bassman 100w and 4x12 cabinet. I came to this amp for the simplification of rglages and efficiency. The original combo was dissociated Tte t / cabinet because of its weight is close to 60kgs and facilitate handling. In two games, it carries much better. This configuration also allowed me to add it to an 4x10 s'avre del Necessary for play of 6 (in collection outdoor Obviously well). Under these conditions, the head works in 4 Ohms and 300W are REALLY Submitted! I use low enough diffrent derrire 3: Fender Jazz Bass Fretless, Fender Roscoe Beck V Vigier Passion III 5c. Its ease of use would be far a 10, but its weight would justify an 8, so I put 9!

SOUNDS

For jou DIFFERENT styles of music, it is in most areas. However, we can not ask her to return a saturated fat! This will require a PDAL Drive for a. The use of 5-string bass allowed me to fully will appreciate the return of the grave If Dfine is very well, including a Octaver. Premire the quality of this amp is above all the depth of his tural he can make, even the big stack will not offer this depth. The addition of a 4x10 (with tweeter) was used to broaden the sound spectrum to allow qualisation a slap game. In this config, sound MRIT out a 10 that would confirm those who were able to try it.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought used in 1997, I have had the opportunity to use it on the big scnes prcdemment Describes the config and I have never nor does the by sound or by power. O the price you can find used today and with the possibility to do it evolve by adding a baffle supplmentaire, I can only strongly recommend it for its quality its reliability investment and all those who are not cueillre ns with a silver in the mouth, and worth 10!

300W bass amplifier transistors 4 Ohms quip of a HP 15-inch 8 Ohms. It therefore dlivre roughly the 175 / 200W alone, he goes to a quip baffle 300 into 8 Ohms in additional SERIES.
There are two types: Combo (BXR300) or 2 body (BRX300H). Note that the head is identical in both cases.
Between active, passive, pr-output power section, from direct to the power section (the jacks while 6.35 of course)
Output Jacks Hp
SETTING THE volume, bass, med, with acute paramtrique of mediums.
A small compressor bad.
Treble booster (effective)
A booster of low (effective)
In short, there is a choice ... no XLR direct out, it dates back to 1988-1989, c 'silent may not be the fashion era?
The bad point justifying "only" 7 / 10: The weight! Amp trs heavy (in the 60 kgs) so I cut in two: The speaker and his wheels of a ct and the head (which I rack) of the another. I also put casters + beefy and with the brakes, and adding two grips. Without a, I could never put it in my chest alone ... (and then with 15d of kin between the concerts ...)
Otherwise, another dtail: AMP indestructible. Mine comes from a room rptition the Paris region o ad to see the green and not ripe ... One day I dropped the head flat on my tile ... Well I never had any pb with ... and yet it is not very young! So heavy but sturdy.
I read somewhere on the Net is the story of a BXR300 who had spent several days under water after a flood. Aprsschage he was back in service!

UTILIZATION

Simple yes, everything you need and nothing superfluous. (Except the compressor without rglage, the only to save the HP ...)
For good sound, yes. I do not have an exprience of 50 amps derrire me (the second a small APRS Trace Eliott 60W), but I soon had something that sounded.
However, do not use hsiter rglages quite extreme and use the two filters treble and bass. In fact, leaving any "flat", there was not much terrible at first.
The fault in HP mid-range ... not the height of the head for me.
Indeed, when I use the head with only one or two 4x10 cabinets Ampeg home, makes a much better sound!
Manuel clear, Electronic Schematic provided.

SOUNDS

Having a little trouble with rglages extreme, I finally they add a legalization of Boss pedals GEB7. So I go directly between the "power amp in", and sounds ...
However, it is a fair bit on the snes in the open if we do not just derrire the amp itself.
We gain much in power with two speakers, it comes out the the 300W into 4 ohms

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a beginners 2005.
The advantage: The sound, solid.
Its less: The weight, look awful (I've reworked for a lot too!)
No, I have not tried 36 MODELS until you have, but I'm a hard spare. Those who had sold me to replace purchased a Peavey 3 bodies, and they said they would push for much lower and its BXR300 with the ...
If c'tait again: Yes, hsiter, given the price that I got it! Currently he serves me amp RPET, a not worth my Ampeg, but it still performs its function without any failure.

Solid-state. 300W into 4 ohms, 225W (I think) into 8 ohms.
2 inputs, one volume control, low boost, high boost, EQ with bass and highs and two mid controls: To choose the frequency and boost or cut the chosen frequency. compressor (with on/off button)
One remote output (surely for a footswitch for the effects loop).
Preamp input and power amp output, which also work as an effects loop.
Two jack speaker outs. No XLR output.

It would've been nice to have a gain and a volume control, plus a DI, but since the EQ and boost are quite all right, I give it an 8.

USE

Very easy to dial in. It sounds fine with all controls flat. The boosts are fine, the EQ, too, especially the mid controls, you can shape sound with precision.
I give it 9 for the mids and boosts.

I must specify that I only have the amp head.

SOUND

I play pop-rock in a band and nu-metal in another one.
I have two old Ibanez Precision, one is passive, while the other one has EMG and an active EQ, tuned in drop C. I play mostly with a pick.
Together with the amp head, I use a 15" DAS subwoofer and a 4x10" Peavey TVX cab with tweeter.

This amp is well-balanced, it produces a round and warm sound. The boost adds more lows, while the pick adds more attack in the mids. The low C comes out really nice, it's a real treat, precise, not muddy at all.
In short, I get the sound I want, with presence in the mix, be it in the low, mid or high end.
No noise, the only thing you hear is the fan.

My review was motivated by others saying this amp doesn't have enough power nor a good sound. I can assure you I've played gigs without a PA and it doesn't lack punch. The guitar player in one of my bands has a fat all-tube stack: Peavey triple X with a huge Marshall cab; the drummer likes to hit hard, and I never have to go beyond 4-5 for rehearsals or gigs, under normal conditions.

I use quite a few effects: fulltone bassdrive, guyatone bass driver, disto trace elliot, fuzz-wah, bassballs, smallstone, multi-effets ART...I always get a good sound, especially with distorted sounds (distortions, overdrive, fuzz)

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for about 4 years.
What do I like best? It's a hard one, but I'd say the price.
What do I like least? Its look, the wooden box its former own made for it. The absence of a DI.

I've played quite a few combos in rehearsal rooms (trace elliot, ampeg, Peavey ... ). Recently, I took my 4x10" cab to test an Ashdown ABM 500 II evo and an old all-tube Trace Elliot amp head.
Verdict: The all-tube head is magical, it's on a higher level, but it makes a lot of noise!! To be honest, the Ashdown didn't impress me.

Trying out other gear, I have come to realize I have a very good amp and that I couldn't get anything better for at least 3 or 4 times the price I paid!!
I'll put it in a proper rack and add a DI to it.

See other reviews for the features. It seems to be well-manufactured.
No gain, no XLR, no DI... Lots of shortcomings, indeed.

USE

My review is somewhat subjective, I only used this amp once for a gig...which it spoiled for me. Ever heard of the principle behind good amps where you only need to plug in and play? This is the exact opposite. It sounds like crap and trying to turn knobs to find something decent can prove grueling....even impossible. I give it 3 points for the "Bass boost" and "Treble boost" switches, which, in my opinion, are the only useful controls. A user manual is useless for an amp with such a poor sound.

SOUND

I play funk/electronic music with a Fender Jaguar Bass, so active. I fear I'll make the amp explode, although it wouldn't be much of a loss. It can't handle an active bass with flat settings, only the switches engaged, the volume set to 5, and it distorted like I've never heard before, impossible to extricate yourself from it... It has a dull sound, without any brilliance nor warmth, nothing at all. The only thing it does is annihilate sound. So yes, it's okay to play a passive bass with a pick, but its lack of versatility is absurd. It might be okay for rock, and even then...but for any other use, you should ABSOLUTELY avoid it.

OVERALL OPINION

I only used it one night, I had already had bad experiences with Fender bass amps, but this one upped the bar: It collects defects! It's big, heavy and ugly, but you can't judge a book by its cover, you'll say. Well, in this case... I can. It sounds like crap, it doesn't cut through a mix, its limited controls are useless. I've played with lots of amps: Ampeg, Hartke, and even more modest ones, like Laney, Ibanez, TC Electronic, and my Jaguar has always sounded fine. But with this one it was a real Disaster, with capital D. I will never again dare buy or use another Fender amp.
