Behringer BX108 Thunderbird Bass Combo Amplifier (15 Watts, 1x8")

No longer available at zZounds
The vintage look of this 15-watt amp boosts your cool points, while the stereo tape ins and outs give your flexibility when recording or playing live.

Picture this: you and your buddies have a band. You've been gigging around town and are making a name for yourselves. It's time to start doing some serious songwriting and get that first CD done. You grab your bass and your BX108 and drive over to the guitar player's house. He's got the PC up and running and a cookin' drum loop is coming from the soundcard. Using the tape inputs, he hooks up the left soundcard output to your BX108 and the right out to his GX108, and plugs a tape out from each amp into the soundcard inputs. He briefly explains his song idea then sets the PC in record and off you go. After a couple takes, you've got good guide tracks for a song. You save it, email it to your keyboard player and your singer, and start working on the next tune...

That's just one example of the many ways you can effectively use this practice combo amplifier. You can also use it for small, unplugged gigs. Or, if you play keyboards, to give those bass or guitar samples an extra touch of realism for your demos or MIDI productions.

Of course, you can also simply practice with the BX108. And don't leave home without one: it's about the best thing you can have along on tour for warming up before the gig or keeping your chops up in the hotel room on a day off.

"retro-cool"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
this amp is good if you like the vintage sound, but you cant make a lot of other kinds of sounds besides the overdrive.
Sound
this amp is designed to be a vintage sounding amp and it faithfully reproduces the sounds of the 60's, lots of treble and punch, but if you want a deep rich sound, this isnt the amp for you. it has very nice overdrive when all the knobs are cranked all the way up.
Features
this has an ample amount of features for a practice amp. it has a 3 band eq, and several inputs/outputs.
Quality
i've had this amp for a while and it is very durable and is not made with cheap crappy parts.
Value
this amp is dirt cheap and is perfect for jamming by yourself or with a band and its loudness is surprising
