Hughes & Kettner BassBase 600

BassBase is the place where massive sound pressure and articulate tone converge. Widely hailed as a contemporary classic, this tower of power is numerous pro players’ firstchoice rig courtesy of its substantial qualities, tonal flexibility and virtually unlimited power. BassBase 600 is the ultimate head for bassists seeking total control over every detail of their sound.

With painstaking effort, our engineers succeeded in tuning the BassBase’s input stage to retain all the subtleties of every instrument’s inherent tone. The Gain knob dials in the perfect level for the post input EQ circuitry. Simply saturate the preamp tube by twisting this knob to dial in growling rock-approved tone. The signal then passes through a classic Bass/Treble voicing section and two alternative sets of our unique Varimetric™ 2-band semi-parametric EQ. This dual EQ section provides instant access to two different sounds at the touch of a button – the perfect tool for switching from an electric to an acoustic bass on the fly.

The high-quality, transformer-balanced DI Out delivers great direct-to-desk sound. Its notch filter effectively eliminates annoying stage rumble. And more than 1,000 watts of continuous output power will forever put an end to your headroom concerns. In a nutshell, the BassBase 600 is simply the most powerful and precise tool on the market. No other amp can transform your ideas about tone into reality with such ease and authority!
