Bass Amps

Bass Amps are a very significant part of any bassist's overall sound. They are available, as either bass amp combos (with the 'brains' and the speaker all in one enclosure) or as separate units made up of a head and a cabinet. Bass amplifiers use different speaker configurations than guitar amps. This helps accentuate the low end frequencies required by bass guitars.

Bass amps come in all shapes and sizes. This ranges from small practice combos with built-in effects to larger gigging combos and towering rigs... perfect for dominating the world's largest arenas! Lots of bass guitar amp manufacturers such as Fender, Laney and Mesa Boogie offer ranges of excellent bass amps. There are also certain companies that specialise in bass amplification. These include Ashdown and Mark Bass. We also have a selection of bass guitar amps from other brands including Orange, Fender and Laney. Some bass combos and bass heads will have additional features such as onboard compression and a di output which can be useful for balancing the lower frequencies in your bass tone.
