Manufacturer's Description for Behringer BX1200 Ultrabass Bass Amplifier (120 Watts, 2-Channel)

Looking for a bass combo to cover all of your practice, rehearsal and recording needs? One that will not only deliver awesome sound and incredible low-end punch, but also enough power to compete with a band? And - if you had your way - one that could also cut it on larger stages with additional speakers? No such thing, you say? Then check out the BX1200.

Behringer's largest Ultrabass combo combines raw power with an amazingly flexible 2-channel preamp section and an abundance of professional I/O options rarely found in bass combos, to give you everything you need in a bass combo and then some. Its oversized power supply, along with revolutionary, patent-pending Dynamizer circuitry and the carefully designed bass reflex enclosure, ensure that the short-circuit proof, virtually indestructible power amp with its 2-speed thermo-controlled fan will always deliver to its full capability without sacrificing punch or sound quality. The BX1200's preamp section starts with your choice of active or passive inputs, and goes on to offer incredible tone-shaping power, with separate gain controls for each channel and a 4-band EQ. Channel two features switchable and tunable Shape function, which ideally complements the EQ by giving you extra control over those dreaded "nasal" mid frequencies. Both channels also share a built-in Ultrabass function. Based on Behringer's celebrated psychoacoustics units, this subharmonics processor adds ultra-low frequencies to your sound and is tunable and switchable via a front-panel button or the included footswitch.

The BX1200 features a custom-made 12 in. aluminum cone speaker that reproduces your sound with incredible power, sensitivity, and warmth. Should you need extra clout for larger venues, you've got the option of connecting additional speakers and/or power amps. And speaking of connections, you'll also appreciate the stereo tape I/O, the insert facility for outboard effects or processors (preamp out/power amp in), and the tuner and headphone outputs. Not to mention the balanced DI out with XLR connector, perfect for recording or PA applications. Oh, and by the way: the BX1200's innovative wedge shape allows you to use it standing up or tipped back at a perfect floor monitor angle.

"Great Combo. Very Flexible, Loud and with more features than I need."

Sound: Its pretty loud and the 4 band EQ gives you plenty of control over your sound. Not sure about the Ultrabass...Pretty strange sound. I turn it on sometimes to amuse my friends then promptly turn it off. The Shape feature however is very cool. Feature: For the price, this combo is crazy. More features than you can poke a stick at! Works for studio, live whatever... I won't list them all here...im sure you would have looked at other reviews before mine. In short, this amp is very functional. I sometimes pull the speaker out and run my Gallien Krueger off of it. This speaker is 8ohm compared to the 4ohm amp, but i don't push it too hard. I don't really understand impedance etc...Im a bassist not an electrician, but im sure it would be better if the ohms matched!! Another bonus is the included foot switch. Thanks Behringer!! Ease of Use: How hard can an amp be to use? Plug it in and play it. Tweak the knobs a bit...all pretty straight forward. The manual has all the info you need when plugging in external bits. Simple stuff. Quality: Seems to be built like a bit of a tank. It only really has short trips in the car etc...but im pretty impressed with the build. No ugly blemishes or loose bits. I only play with mates etc, so if it shats itself then we just go home...No need for a backup in my situation. I have never had this happen yet. Value: Features, Shape, Build Quality, footswitch, free sticker (yay). Im very happy with the value of this combo. Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with them, but I have heard they are pretty slack. For the price I don't really care. Its lasted a long time now, so if it dies I have got my $400 AUD worth out of it. The Wow Factor: Well it kinda looks like a combo amp... Its not vintage or anything, so if you prefer that look, then its probably not attractive. I quite like it though. My Bass is a pretty modern bit of gear so a modern looking amp matches nicely. The fact that you can tip it back like a monitor speaker is very nice!! Overall: Im happy with it for now! I can't see into the future. Im very gear hungry, so im sure something else will catch my eye down the track. If it was stolen I would be extremely p#$%ed off. Im a black belt in karate, so if I found the person that stole it I would pull their arms off and beat them to death with them. If i lost it i would beat myself to death. Like i said im gear hungry and like to experiment with new things. For this reason alone I probably wouldn't replace it. I would give something else ago. Nothing against the amp though :)

Style of Music: I Play it all!!!!!

"Honestly, I think this comobo will PUNCH you out!"

Sound: The overall sound of this amp is pretty darn good. You can shape the sound to a very warm tone or turn it around to a crisper true to life tone of your bass. Trust me, this bad dog can get loud! I would highly recommend that behringer think about installing a better speaker for better clarity and maybe a tweeter for better highs. The highs can get pretty muffled out but with some tweeking, the workstation can fix some of that. It would still be nice to have a tweeter though. Feature: I love all the in/outs to this combo. Definitely not for BIG gigs but this thing can hookup to anything you throw at it. For your BIG gigs it would definitely get by as your monitor(very loud). I particularly enjoy the ultrabass feature, you have to tweek it some to get it just right, and when you get just right, it sounds sweet. Quality: I am very satisfied with the end product. They most definitely thought about all the little details. My #1 peive is loose knobs and this combo does not have that. I love that!!! I do not worry about this thing breaking. I've banged mine a little more than I would like, but that's life. This thing would hold up against any other brand hands down. I would love to have another one as a back-up! Value: No other bass amp combo can compare to the price of this one. The closest is probably the Fender Rumble 100 but I played both side by side. Simply but, the fender was only about $40 more and I still chose the Behringer. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had to contact the company, but I did go back to the dealer to exchange my Ultrabass BX600 to a Ultrabass BX1200. I needed more sound and features. The Wow Factor: I do really enjoy how this combo looks. The bottom line is it really does complete the setup for me, considering it is a tiltback. I can use it as my monitor. Overall: I will use this combo until it breaks or blows up! To be honest it really is going to depend on what is out when this thing breaks. I would not mind lokking into the higher end Ashdown amps. But I don't even need anything like that.
