I use this bass head mostly for studio work it provides a good balanced tone Sound Quality: Good sound quality both from the Direct out and when using the outputs for cabs, the graphic eq works well you can get a variety of sounds from it as well as the hi and lo pass filters mean that a variety of sounds can be got from the head Build Quality: I've had no issues with build quality it seems sturdy enough and the handle doesnt look like its going to come loose anytime soon it has been knocked around transporting it however it took the punishment well and i bet it will last for quite a while Features: good amount of features which works well for a studio setting, a 10 band graphic eq, compressor, hi and lo pass filters all work well and i have no complaints about this head in general

Together with Hartke HD112 it is perfect set for trainings and at home (even too powerfull). For little events it is perfect. Quite wide frequency of the speaker (deep bass and treble is nice and goes to 17kHz as in the spec) , middle range is rather at the back in comparison to other speakers. I was afraight of class D amp but is sound great. Speaker has quite low sensitivity. Important thing is that amp has not 300W but even 400W of (measured on dummy 4ohm load and scope+multimeter) RMS power and over 500W of music power!!

To be honest I'm more of a vintage tube amp guy but I wanted to see what these new micro amps are capable of. The Tone Hammer seemed like a perfect choice as reports from various web forums are great and describe it as having a "tubey" sound. I not so sure I agree with that last bit. Perhaps the SOUND is kinda tubey but the RESPONSE certainly isn't. Still, it is one of the nicest solid state amps I've tried. Not as sterile sounding as some other solid state designs, definitely on the warm side. Very versatile with lots of controls to shape the tone. Personally I prefer a simpler layout but I guess it's nice to have options. The eq is very powerful. The relationship between the gain and drive settings can also be used to shape the tone/response of the amp. Unlike many other...

My initial test with new gear is to check how it sounds straight out the box. So, I'll start with contents: out the box you get, the amp, power supply, footswitch, instrument and speaker lead - all good for a £122. Next up, plug in to see how it sounds. I'm pairing it with a TC BC208 cab and using my 1999 EBMM stingray. Low, Mid & Hi all set to far left position (off or low) comp switch at normal and control at 9am, gain at 8am and volume at 10am - morning times for illustration purposes and context. Plugged in the bass for instant nice tone and volume. Moving the EQ section to midday, adjusting the volume to full and working the gain up from zero, is astonishing! The footswitch appears to activate the compressor of which, is not too bad given the price of the amp. It is a...

Comes with a 3 band EQ and a mid frequency knob which is very useful. It doubles as a DI box so you can record from the bass head straight into an audio interface, among other features. Since it's a good basis for a peddle board I don't really miss "drive" on it. It's not that heavy so you can probably carry it with you quite easily with the handle/strap on the side (might be a bit tight for big hands), I just don't have a need to take it anywhere so I use it at home. It also looks and feels premium. Overall really solid for beginners and intermediates.

I bought this amp to use it for gigs where I want/need to travel light and having already owned the Mesa Big Block 750, I couldn't resist when Mesa announced they were bringing out a class D amplifier. The range of tones in this amp is phenomenal, the deep switch and voicing gives you what seems like endless low end if you want it with the voicing control slightly scooping the mids as you turn it up. The bass, low mid, high mid and treble controls are all very responsive and the slightest turn of any of these controls can have a big effect on your tone. The features are also excellent with a mute switch on the front panel and pre/post switch on the back which is very nice. Having the option of playing through headphones is also great so you don't wake your neighbours late at night(and...

Small and convenient, but big in what it offers. Noise-free activation; sensitive and quiet potentiometers. Maybe the LED lights are too strong, but that’s a personal opinion. Compared to the more GK heads I have, it’s more than a step ahead of them - worth its price! Combined with their two GR112H-8 speakers, it offers fantastically calibrated sound, both indoors and outdoors. The only problem I had with this kit was the loose rubber feet of the boxes, which was fixed under warranty in a short time. It was only during this time that I really noticed how well the kit works, as I tried the head on several different boxes, from 4x10 ", 1x12" to 1x15 ". I can also say that the GK heads sounded better on their speakers. In short, I recommend !!

Well, where to start really? I'm a hobby musician who finally decided it was time to pickup a new amp after years of playing a ampeg svt-450h and damn the difference couldn't be more clear! First of all the build in compressor is a dream come true especially playing a fretless... I honistly never thought i needed one, now i dont think i ever turn it off. while i cant say anything bad about this amp, it has to be said that the EQ feels a little limiting and could use a couple of extra knobs. then we come to the absolute showbeast of this amp, the build in alpha and omega pedal it's truly breathtaking and cuts right through the mix!

The Little Bass thing is a 500 watt RMS at 4 Ω Class D amp. It weighs about 3 kg and has a build in compressor that is footswitchable (which I will get to later). I pair it with an 8 Ω OBC112 cab that weighs about 12 kg. There are a couple of reasons why I picked this amp. -It is relatively simple, just a 3 band EQ with sweepable mids, a volume knob and a knob for the compressor. I always get a bit seasick when I look at amps with too many buttons. Some people might love it, I am more of a plug and play kinda guy. That might also explain my love for the Precision bass. -It is light, powerful and scalable. I can easily add a second 8 Ω cab to make use of the full 500 watt. I had an Orange Crush 100 and I really loved that amp. However, at 24 kg with a 15 inch speaker,...

I've been using bass amps for decades and the poor old bass player has always had the heaviest and bulkiest setup in the band! Not any more! This class D (switch mode) amp is light weight, mega powerful, and looks absolutely pristine. Oh dear! - it's got a fan! - I didn't realise before it arrived! - but it is VERY quiet - truly madly deeply honestly! There is a simple trade off. With no fan (and I was seriously considering one) then if it overheats it has to shut down! - Silence! - in the middle of a gig! - do you really want to risk that ? The controls are simple and straightforward - and I am used to a graphic EQ and a parametric on the same amp! However, these controls are more than adequate. With everything set at 12-o-clock (and this is a very good test) the amp sounds clean and...
