EBS Magni 500 Bass Combo Amplifier (300 Watts, 2x10")

No longer available at zZounds
Loaded with two 10" drivers, this Magni 500 pumps out a rock-solid 300 watts and features an XLR output and on-board 4-band EQ with bright and notch filters.

The EBS Magni 500 combos are professional sounding, competitive bass combos incorporating the awarded Reidmar lightweight amp design. They benefit from the Soft Clip technique (known from the EBS Reidmar amplifiers) that preserves the solid bottom on higher volumes. The excellent analog preamp offers highly effective filters and is equipped with the useful Notch-filter, to prevent feedback that may evolve from certain frequencies in some venues.

Double-Ported Cabinet

The EBS Magni 500 combos are ported on the front AND back, for better bass response, especially in smaller venues.

Extra features

Enjoy the seamlessly controlled onboard Compressor, the aux input option to play along to music, and the output to connect your headphones. With the balanced XLR-output, you can connect your amp to front-of-house or recording device without need of an external DI-box.

I have owned and gigged on damn near every combo available. Mesa, Markbass, Fender, Aguilar, so and so forth. Now do the others "sound" better? I'd say thats a personal preference, but when I say this is the "best" its the total of everything listed in the following review.

Sound
Sound wise I would say this rig is VERY clean. Clean in the gain sense as well as the amp provides. The preamp is very transparent which gives you the true sound of your instrument. If you have basses that have a unique vibe, this amp will deliver it in its most unadulterated form. When I say deliver, I mean it. The output this thing provides is insane. In most rehearsal situations I would say its uncommon to ever have the volume over 2 at the absolute most.

Features
Features I would say the biggest things are the double port and onboard compressor. Otherwise, its a straight forward combo in the features department.

Ease of Use
Set it flat and dial it in from there. A good tone is almost guarnteed right out of the box.

Quality
This thing is built like a tank. It comes with a dust cover as well, so that will help keep dirt and dust out of the controls while not in use.

Value
For the price this thing is a beast. Well worth the moderate price tag.

Manufacturer Support
The only downside about EBS is they are a little slow read more to respond if you reach out to them directly, but Ive found distributors and sellers of their products have more direct contacts so thats not a huge concern.

The Wow Factor
The big thing with this combo is not needing to be concerned about if it will be enough for a gig. Ive played outside gigs with no PA and this thing still cuts through without having to crank the volume. It seems like it has a never ending supply of headroom without compormosing the tone. Truly amazing.
