Raw power with sophisticated tonal controls.

The Behringer ULTRABASS BX4500H Bass Amp Head is amazingly versatile. The powerful 450W bass amplifier is equipped with patented Dynamizer technology, a switchable ULTRABASS subharmonics processor, and Behringer's revolutionary Shape filter for midband frequency control. The head also provides a dedicated 5-band EQ with Bright and Deep functions, a musical opto-limiter, vintage-style VU meter, and XLR direct output.

You can select the Bright and Ultrabass functions with the supplied footswitch and insert an external EFX signal through the TRS effects send and return. 3 speaker outputs are available including TRS and Neutrik Speakon connections. Heat is controlled by a temperature-controlled cooling system.

good upgrade

| Review By: Doug Robertson | 3 weeks, 5 days ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

the eq lets you dial in what tone you're after pretty well. the effects loop is good but one of the jacks went out on mine so it no longer works

Quality:

never had a problem with it and i bought mine used. the effects loop is the only problem and i hardly use effects anyways so it doesn't really matter

Value:

you deffinitely get what you pay for. it's a great head for someone just starting to move up in their playing and not wanting to sink in a lot of cash. great for a advancing player to step up from a smaller practice amp

Overall:

it's been a good head for me in that there have been no problems at all with it and it's been everything that behringer advertises it to be. it's fairly loud when you get it set up right and has pretty decent tone considering what it costs. but it's not really loud enough to play with the band i'm in. i'm usually getting covered up when i have the thing maxed out with the red light flashing. i have the matching 210 and 115 cabs which are both 8 ohms that they don't make anymore and they seem to handle everything the amp can throw at them with ease. the room makes a really big difference in how loud you can get the bottom end, but it's nowhere near as loud as some other amps i've played through in the same spaces. it's a good upgrade from your first amp but probably not the one you'll want to keep forever. it sounds good and can get loud if set up right, but not everything you could ever want out of an amp. you get what you pay for

You will not be disapointed with this head, trust me. I bought this after going through a lot of amps at Best Buy and Guitar Center, I honestly prefer the Behringer ULTRABASS BX4500H amp head. Compared to a Tube Amp, there's obviously a difference, but if you're a beginner starting to gig around localy, then I would recommend this head. Although, you won't be using some of the options like Ultrabass and Shape. The Deep and Bright will keep you busy looking for the right tone of preference. I got this along with the Behringer ULTRABASS BB410 cab, and I find it much better then a 1x15 cab. It won't sound as bassy as the 1x15, but it sounds a lot cleaner. I am still a newbie when it comes to music, but I can definitely tell what sounds good and what doesn't, and I can definitely tell what sounds better. You will get a lot of bang for your buck. And obviously, don't abuse this head, sure it can get loud, but if you abuse anything it will get damanged quicker. Treat it nicely. This rule applies to everything you own.

Best Value for the Money

| Review By: Darrell Cook | 3 months, 2 weeks ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

You won't find a better bass head for this price.  I use it with a Peavey 15 and a 2x10 cabinet.  The sound is very solid.  Good lows, crisp mids and highs.  Just a tad of noise but can be eq'd out.  The Ultrabass is only useful in upper range, but the Shape funtion is great.  For small to mid sized audiences you can't beat this head.  It shakes the house wherever I play.  Thanks Behringer!

Behringer ULTRABASS BX4500H Bass Amp Head

| Review By: RJ Hancock | 3 months, 3 weeks ago

0 people out of 2 found this review helpful

Features:

I like this amp so far..I run it thru 2 GK cabinets (8 ohms each) and it sounds good. After reading other reviews I can only say I dont think this head is all that loud. I havent used it on stage yet so we'll see then. Other than that I do like it !

Quality:
Value:
Overall:

As stated, Ive only tried this out at home ,not on a stage. It seems pretty nice for the price,has some bells n whistles too. Im not hearing all the volume other people rave about tho...Im running it thru  2 GK cabinets. One 15 ported and a 2 10 cabinet sealed both are 8 ohms each...decent volume but not shakin the house !

AMAZING !!!!

| Review By: Anthony Ciciani | 5 months, 5 days ago

3 people out of 3 found this review helpful

Features:

I am the type of player that doesnt use the included footswitch. I dont use the ULTRABASS feature either. I am in the band just to supply the low end with nothing fancy. So when I shop for an amp. I  go for the highest power rating I could for the money. My band plays a "loud stage", this head handles it easy.

Quality:

It looks like a decent amp. It sounds good too.  Its German engineering, and built overseas.  Like everything else these days. It should last if you dont abuse it.

Value:

Great value for this powerhouse !!!

Overall:

This Behringer bass head is by far "the best bang for your buck". I am 49 years old , and played in numerous bands. I have owned the least expensive to the higher end equipment. This head has enough power to handle any venue.  I had the gain and volume output knobs at the 9 o,clock position. And it shook my house !!!!   And I had plenty of knob yet to go.  Buy this head , you will be very suprised by the performance. I dont use the ultrabass feature for my style of playing. Which is classic rock to metal, and sometime southern rock. This amp , if you are in a working band. I would buy two of these, and keep one in the truck as a backup. And they are inexpensive enough to do that.  I am very pleased with this head.  If you are looking for a really good bass head, and dont want to spend a ton of cash. All I could say is buy this, and you will have some extra bucks in your pocket !!!!!
