Behringer Ultrabass BXD3000H 4-stars Reviews

A great machine for home and gigging

When I started playing bass, I decided (coming from 25+ years guitar) I wanted to go for something decent that doesn't break the bank.

The Ultrabass is a monster with a lot of features that you need to pay a lot more for, if you want it from other brands. It is quite heavy and with its 300 watts, it can easily handle drums. I have combined it with a Wharfdale 2x10 and a Marcus Miller Sire M2 v2 and that is a hell of a combo.

Like always, the Behringer stuff feels in general in look and feel a bit cheap, but that is mainly because of the cheap design and not really the materials. So you have a monster amp that can easily handle everything from funk to metal, but it doesn't look very good.

If sound is more important than looks (which I guess it is) go for this amp. The EQ, the drive and the overall features are awesome. Good bang for the buck.

Very cheap and pretty good sounding.

Bought this as a back up and tried it few times at rehearsal.

Seemed plenty loud enough and sounded good to me! Doesnt have a speakon out which is a bit of a pain,

Incredibly light too!

CAnt really fault it and competes with amps twice the price. If you can get past the fact its a behringer (which some peopel cant!)

Has a footswitch too!

Decent bass amp

I used to run quite a complicated rig and really needed to simplify things, not to mention lighten things up, and this little amp have fulfilled that task admirably.

For the price this amp has a lot of features, more than is actually necessary if I'm honest, but even so it certainly gives a lot of options. The 7-band graphic EQ is very powerful and the compressor is useful to tighten up the sound. The 'Ultrabass' I find kinda pointless as it really doesn't do much, and even when turned up full it doesn't add much to the tone, so I just leave it off. The 2 channels are nice, though I rarely use the drive channel.

This amp is loud though. I play in a rock covers band, and even with the channel gain set to 9 o'clock and the master at 10, it's more than enough for the small/medium venues my band normally plays. The tone is clean and punchy and, frankly, perfect IMO if you want to add pre amps and effects before the amp, and if yo're so inclined, it comes with an effects loop if any of the more subtle modulation effects are desired. Along with a CD in, dedicated line out and a DI, this amp really is fully loaded for whatever is needed.

Overall this is a fantastic little amp with loads of power and even more options that one would know what to do with and I would certainly recommend this as an amp for someone who needs something decent for as little money as possible, and even if you had the budget for something more, give this a try, yo may be surprised.

Great value bass head

This bass amp head by Behringer is great value, lots of power sounds clean even when pushed as long as you have a matching powered speaker, nice features too, compressor, ultra bass, drive channel and graphic eq.
