Feature:
I use the ultrabass feature on some solos. The shape,deep,bright & eq all work well independently and in concert with each other. The VU meter is a nice feature to have when trying to optimize input/output levels with out clipping.

Quality:
Seems to be very well built, but I base that assumption on the fact that german-made products over the last several years seem to last forever (like a VW Bug..U just can't kill it!!!)

Value:
There is no doubt that to anyone who has playing for a while that Behringer is making it's statement in the market. Today's technology made very affordable.

Desirability:
It's a contemporary looking unit..that's all

Sound:
Unless you have the ears of a dog...very hard to tell the difference between this unit and other amps at two or three times the price.

Support:
I haven't had to contact them about the amp. Their web site is great..very informative, and the owners manual is very easy to follow.

Overall:
I am planning to trade up to the new 450 watt model head. More power usually provides a cleaner/tighter sound...we'll see!!

Feature:
Shape- awesome for changing around the sound to what YOU want and not wat the head wants.... the foot control for this is very convenient. Deep- DOES WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. AMAZING LOW END Bright- If you slap, you gotta have it. Ultrabass- Cool if you want to variate your sounds VU meter- good to have to let you know how your doing technically Limit- Tells you if youre exceeding the "LIMIT" but it only comes on if you hit the E string really hard, but it goes off right away.

Quality:
very tough. very rugged. very....................

Value:
great price. only 200 dollars. i got mine for 180 though because i told the site that i bought it from that i found a cheaper price and then they beat it. So i'm happy.

Desirability:
I have been wanting this amp head for the past few months once i read about it and heard about the demand. I was lucky to get mine because of a little secret plot that i was thinking up...AND IT WORKED! cant expose that though. Also it looks really awesome.

Sound:
The sound is definately great. the lows are awesome. just what you would expect from a bass head. The sub harmonics thing is pretty cool. it would be cool for a solo or somethin like that. THe only problem i have with them is that it doesnt pick up my open A note and the D note on my G string that well. It starts the octave effect but then just dies out. but that doesnt rele matter because you can just play the same note somewhere else on the bass and it will work then. Also when the bright feature and the shape feature are on at the same time, there is slight background hiss. but that can be avoided my switching the gain or the shape. The lows on this thing are incredible, and when you thing that thats as low as it gets,,, your wrong. the "deep" effect button brings it down even lower....... and if thats not enough.... the shape feature will make it even lower......... GREAT SOUND

Support:
"red unit to base, red unit to base, we need some support down here!"

Overall:
I am very pleased with this amp head. I havent really been able to put it to its full potential yet because i live in an apartment and our neighbors complain about EVERY single noise they hear. Plus i just got it yesterday so i havent been able to jam with it with my friends

Feature:
it came with exactly what i needed i like the ultrabass because its practically like tuning down and i like shape because it brings out the sound of your solo

Quality:
yeah its so sturdy and no i havnt dropped it down any stairs like some of you ha. It works great with the behrginer cab i bought the whole half stack for 400 not bad for a bass half stack. and i can just add another cab

Value:
worth everythign i paid for

Desirability:
ohh its heavy and i like heavy woman hahahaha jk no it is very good looking i like the gold

Sound:
It sounds very good but not the best best sounding amp ive ever heard.

Support:
havnt dealt with them nothings wrong

Overall:
its great i will keep it for as long as it works

Feature:
The built in chorus (Bassilator) is a neat little feature, as well as the 'shape', both of whice are controlled via the included footswitch. The Bassilator adds a doubling note one octave lower, which allows you to still get the low end thump while playing way up the neck. The Shape allows you to go from a 'rock' setting to a more pronounced 'jazz' setting at the press of a switch.

Quality:
I took the chassis out and put into a faux Vox AC-50 head, so the factory cosmetics didn't matter too much to me. But the build quality, inside the box, is great. Very heavy duty.

Value:
For the money, this is by far the best 300W amp available! It can rattly the walls and really keep the low end covered.

Desirability:
I don't kow if this amp has any 'sex appeal', but I'd rather it be there than not! I'm quite impressed with it, and love gigging with it.

Sound:
This little amp has an incredible range of sounds available. Just dial in the frequency range you're looking for and go to work! You can have all the big round bottom of Paul McCartney, or the punch ring of Chris Squire.

Support:
Never contacted customer support, hope I don't have to.

Overall:
I can't imagine looking for an amp to replace this one for a long time, and even then maybe just another of this model! It's a great amp to have, transport, and play through live.

Quality:
Very road worthy. Nothing bad to report

Value:
Hell yea.

Desirability:
I think I'm in love.

Sound:
For the price, it's the best thing going. You can get any bass sound out there. 300 watts is more than enough. Bass means bass not lead. Turn down a little bass carries.

Support:
Did not have to.

Overall:
I bought a second one. At this price, it will be gone soon.

Feature:
High and low boost. Shape function. and Ultrabass feature. i use all of them except for the Ultrabass. YOu wont find another amp in the price bracket with this many (useful) features. THe only time I use the ultrabass effect is when im running my guitar through this head. I use it as an octave pedal. haha.

Quality:
So far its held pretty fine. THe only complaint are the cheap ass knobs. They're made from some flimsy plastic and turn very easily. So that perfect sound you have just set can be changed with a sneeze.

Value:
Best thing you can get for the money. new at least.

Desirability:
Looks nice has gold and black face. Kinda spiffy. Also has light up led's and a vintage vu meter. sexy? i suppose...

Sound:
THe sound is very flexible and versatile. The high and low boost are pretty nice. THe shape filter is great if you want to switch your sound quickly.

Support:
never dealt with em.

Overall:
overall great value for the money.

Feature:
This head comes with four features right on the head. Ultrabass, deep, bright, and shape. Ultrabass adds an octave, a Jaco-like sound. The deep boosts the bass, and the bright boosts the treble. Shape is basically an eq in one knob. I don't use any of them frequently but they are of good quality and perfect for the shaping of your sound. Although, I prefer the eq myself.

Quality:
This product is made pretty well. A nice carpet covering on it and a metal faceplate for the front of the head. Rubber corner covers to protect the carpet corners. Finish looks great-gold and black. No loose parts. Seems like it would be reliable on the road. The one bad thing about this amp is that the first day I had it, I tried to turn it off and it didn't work. It ends up that the power switch broke. The next day I went back and had it replaced for free. Other than that, a very reliable head

Value:
This head is the best deal you can find in bass heads. It's a steal, anyone thinking about buying this head, should definetely do it.

Sound:
The sound from this amp is amazing. Good response everything. Not as beefy as an ampeg or carvin, but definetely a well-made amp. I love the sound of the ultrabass for a jaco-like sound with my fretless. Good biting mids, growling bass, and crisp treble. This amp would be good for recording or live. I use an behringer 4x10 aluminum cone cab with his head, and the sound is huge. I would highly recommend this amp to anyone wishing to buy it.

Support:
I have not needed to deal with Behringer yet. I hope I will never have to. I suspect that they would answer my questions as fast as they could.

Overall:
I hope to have this amp as long as I can lug it around. 300 watts is probably the most I'll need for a while, so I'll be holding on to this head for a long time. This is the perfect amp for an intermediate player looking to get a loud sound and cut through the mix. If it was stolen, I would probably buy another one, because it's the best deal you can get. I also like the retro VU meter.

Feature:
Manual, stick, footswitch. Great. Very well made, good materials used to build it.

Quality:
Will be 10 if knobs of EQ will be better. Is is only reason that I cut only one point.

Value:
no commente. Try to find cheaper amp at the same quality. No way!

Desirability:
I think, that I'll buy another one if Behringer minimalize this Hiss, but I'm sure, they will. Worth this money (if you don't want to buy this amp in Poland)

Sound:
This is a realy good bass amp. Good sound quality even with flat EQ. Unfortunately it has a nasty HISS (not too loud but it exist)

Support:
"Today question to on-line support at www.behringer.com - today answer". Tres bien. Bardzo dobrze. Very very good.

Overall:
(+) very nice amp, light-wieght (ok, not heavy :)), simply tone control and modeling, easy-of-use (-) hiss at higher volumes

Feature:
It includes a footswitch which allows you to switch between deep bass, ultrabass, or both. Very convenient.

Quality:
Great quality for the money.

Value:
This product has equal playability to that of Ampeg's bass heads. I would definitely place this among the same quality of excellence, minus the hefty Ampeg price tag.

Sound:
This has a great overall sound for the intermediate, semi-pro player. I play anything from Goth Rock to Funk, and I would say that it can be used for all styles of music. It has the ultrabass feature, which doubles the notes you are playing (used often in modern jazz and funk), and for the rock players, it has a deep bass function that gives you one hell of a deep tone and punch. Ampeg, eat your overpriced heart out!

Feature:
Yes it comes with a foot switch for ultrabass and shape, Ultrabass is a kick. It craps out below about a C but its a hoot to play the bass line an octave up and have the ultrabass double it an octave down and soetimes it sounds as though it gives you 2 down as well,since this is below human hearing I think it does. Can't place it on top of cabinet 'cause low frequencies make it walk.

Quality:
Pretty much its own road case. Variable speed cooling fan keeps it room temp all night. Without the heat breakdowns seem extremely unlikely.

Value:
The most bang( or should I say boom) for the buck bar none.

Desirability:
Looks good sounds good love the old style VU meter. Black is always cool.

Sound:
One Bad Mother (Hush Your Mouth) Adequate EQ,Power is more than I'll ever need. Mostly play small to Medium clubs.Used it outdoors a couple of times and it did a wonderful job there too.

Support:
Haven't needed to.

Overall:
Love forever. May try an outboard EQ. This is so well made it will probably wear me out. Definitely the best solid state bass head I've ever owned, others were Traynor Cerwin Vega and Yechh peavey.
