Sound: This is definately a little beast, and the best buy out there!! I read at least 10 reviews floatng out there before buying, and the only review I disagree with is the claim that this unit is only an "actual 180 watts". Don't be misled by that claim - I use this as a home combo for home rehersal & learning songs in a 900sq ft space, and if I were to compare the lower volume of my 350 watt Hartke Stack (4x10/1x15) with the Master Volume set to 2-3 (both preamps set to 7) to avoid discomfort or rattling things off the walls, this Behringer gives the same thing at a 3-4 master volume setting for that small space (even thought it only has the single 15). So while I'd only question how that Wattage was measured, the bottom line is for a 60lb little kickback/wedge style cab - this thing does just fine. While I'd obviously never say this amp would replace my stack,...I would have to sheepishly say I mistakenly over-bought - perhaps the BXL1800 would have been the better choice for my home studio usage (oooops). Yet, this amp could be used as an additional on stage bass amp/monitor for opposite side of stage at the larger venues & festivals I play - certainly cheaper (and more manageable) than running a powered monitor thru additionals channels on a mixing board at the mercy of a sound guy. (my drummer likes to hear some thump) While this makes a decent rehersal/studio amp,...it would also be more than adequate for small venues like jazz clubs, acoustic cafes, etc - for those of you who are doing that sort of thing. Feature: For the money - try to find a good quality sounding pre-amp distortion DI with a for less than $200. I use a 3 channel Sans Amp Pro-DI with my gig rig,...and the sound is not far off that mark. The Channel 2 distortion has a nice smooth grit to it or even a nasty naughty old Rick sound I've missed at times (I'm playing an active Ibanez 5-String) Ease of Use: Very straight forward Quality: This Combo weighs 61 lbs - a very solid cabinet with minor sound bleed until it's turned up to about 7 or more. The twin ports out the back help this alot!!. Value: Absolutely the best out there for this amount of money - it's that simple. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had any problems, but historically Behringer was good about a different warantee issue I had with a PA sound processor (for whatever that's worth). The Wow Factor: It looks good, being a more particular type regarding athsteics - I've always thought Behringer does a good job with their bling factor. I prefer the black bezel over the old silver ones. Overall: If you want a good bass sound for small to medium sized venues without handing over your wallet - at least give yourself the benefit of giving one of these a test drive.

Sound: On its own...a nice clean tone to high gain OD if you want it. Not too shabby. I run a V-amp Pro through it, it reproduces these tones very well. (almost no difference though the amp or DI through the house) Feature: Love the EQ. Channel 1 I run clean, Gain at 2 w/ a little comp. Channel 2 I never use (but nice to have). Ultrabass I have NO need for. Foot switch (included) is nice for those who switch around. Ease of Use: Easy Peasy:) Nothing complicated here. Quality: For the price-point, well...what more could you ask for, REALLY! I use it & days a week (home practice, rehearsal, gigged 2 days a week at smallish venue) w/ NO problems. HA HA haters! Value: At this price...try it. If you don't like it...send it back. Not everyones cup of tea, but a great value none the less. Manufacturer Support: Never needed. The Wow Factor: Be sure you know what your needs are. This is a great combo for MY needs. That's it. Overall: Already got my moneys worth. Will probably buy better gear for gigging, but my BXL3000 is a keeper.

Sound: I've owned several combo amps from different brands. Peavey, Behringer, crate... you name it. I've never heard clarity at this level. especially coming out of a package so small. I play a 5 string peavey grind bxp. I'm astounded by the punch this sucker packs, but even more, the clarity on the top end. I can play any style of music with this amp. I mostly play gospel in a church that seats about 500. It's more than enough power for the venue. A great investment!!! Feature: For the styles of music I play, the compressor and shape settings are very helpful.It's versatile for all genres. I can adjust the settings from my usual gospel to jazz or use the ultra bass to play rock. Ease of Use: I plugged my bass in this rig and went to work. The settings are self explanatory. This rig was perfect for my bass. Quality: This is the $300 i've ever spent. You cant beat this quality for this price. Everything I wanted in a rig. I played in a 500 seat church, and never had to adjust my bass or the rig. Great product!! Value: The best $300 I ever spent!!! I priced rigs in the range of $500- $1000. Didn't have to spend that much to get the quality I needed. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with the company, and hope not to!! The Wow Factor: It's not sexy. In fact, when the rig arrived at my house, I thought where's the rest of it? When I opened it and saw the settings , I fell in love with it. Overall: Love the quality it gives, with the price I paid. I recommend this product to all bass players. If not for plaging gigs, but just having at home. It will not let you down.

Sound: The sound is very powerful and the equalizer on it replaced my foot controller. Ultrabass is excellent but be warned it conks out on really low notes (Like the first five frets of the E string.) But the Ultrabass is meant to be used in the upper range anyway and that's were it shines!! Like I mentioned there's pretty much not any sound you can't get out of the equalizer. Feature: Equalizer, Ultrabass, Switchable channels. Foot pedal for the Ultrabass and Channels. Enough Said. Ease of Use: To me this amp is very straight forward. Beginners may be overwhelmed my the equalizer but I was kinda too! Quality: 8 on quality because for some reason they have a 200W speaker in this instead of a 300W. I have had this up all the way but it would make logical sense if it had a 300W in it. Other than that this amp feels very solid. Unlike some of Behringer's stuff in which they have a bad rep for fragile items. Value: The price is great. I bought this at a local music store or 300 but oh well. The Wow Factor: 7, mostly since Behringer is not a company people flock to first.

Sound: I am a "bass guitarist" in training. I have really progressed in playing these past few months under the tutelage of "the best female bass guitarist in Anson County" (smile). The Behringer 300W amp has truly improved the sound of my Peavey, sounds I didn't khow my guitar could produce (been training on the 20 Watt amp that came with the guitar). My brother, who is a bass player hooked my guitar to the Behringer BXL3000 Ultrabass Bass Combo Amplifier (300 Watts 1x15 in.): and I was shocked at the sound!!!! Can't wait until I completely pay for MY new amp. Over the next few months I plan on playing bass with our church musicians and definitely plan on getting a rack to pull my amp back and forth with ease. Like my guitar teacher, I plan on becoming "the best female gospel bass guitar player in Anson County" with one of the best amps, I believe, made! This amp suits my needs and I am very proud to be an almost-owner! Thank you so much for trusting me by setting up payments in order for me to further hone my skills by actually "hearing" what I am playing. God Bless! Feature: I haven't yet begun to use the foot pedal (Channel/Ultrabass) that came with the amp, I am still learning just how many features are included and how to properly utilize them. Ease of Use: The sound is great and yes, there is a learning curve. The manual is clear and I am taking my time trying to learn and utilize all the features that will help me master my bass. Quality: The amp was "brand new" when received, in best condition. Once I become an official church musician I plan on ordering some kind of rack to pull it (or have it pulled (smile) with ease. Right now, I am satisified. Value: Yes! Manufacturer Support: I rated "10" because of the trust extended to me by zzounds in scheduling payments in order for me to obtain this amp which I had wanted for quite some time. The Wow Factor: I like the build of the cabinet and how it sort of sits back. Overall: Since ZZounds carries anything I would need at a later date, I would stick with them. If my equipment was lost or stolen I would replace with the exact same brand, from the same company. I wish I had known of ZZounds months ago, I would probably be a more proficient player by now.

Sound: Behringer products last. I have read bad reviews of the company, but those reviewers have not tried Behringer's recent amps. The BXL3000 Ultrabass has made me very happy. It has a clean channel that out-thumps my SWR Workingman 15 by double, and a second channel that I have shaped "dirty" for funk. There is a footswitch to swap channels for seamless on-stage switching. I have used it outdoors on its own (crowd = 2000) and indoors using the DI out to house mixer. In both settings, the sound was fantastic, rich and powerful, nad-rattling bass. Feature: The footswitch is a great addition, but under stage lights, I wish the footswitch had LEDs so I wouldn't have to check the amp to verify the settings. At any rate, it does make it very easy to switch from clean to dirty sound. The "dirty" channel includes shaping, ratio of clean-t0-dirty, and "Ultrabass," which enhances the harmonics (and string noise, so be careful). Ease of Use: This amp is very easy to use. Everything is intuitive and user-friendly. Plug it in and the clean channel is ready to go. Another 10 minutes and you will find your favorite dirty sound for the second channel. The amp is also designed to tilt back, making it perfect for on-stage feedback for you, and deafening power for harassing your drummer! Quality: I can hear something rattling around inside. So far, it hasn't affected the performance of the amp, but shouldn't everything have been screwed or glued tight? Value: This amp costs half of comparable amps from other manufacturers. It has great sound, tremendous power, and two foot-switchable channels. Now that I have experience with this amp, I would pay more for it! Furthermore, my Behringer piano amp, purchased 8-years ago and used\abused hard since then, has never given me a moment's trouble, So I know I will be enjoying this Ultrabass for years to come. Overall: If this amp were lost or stolen, I would buy the same amp. There is no question about this. I will use it until it wears out, which should be a long time, based upon my 8-year-old Behringer products. For a performer like me (local gigs, occasional travel gigs up to 400 miles, bars, beer gardens, weddings, etc.) this amp is perfect. It's powerful and sounds nice, without the size, weight, or expense of Ampeg or other big names. If you don't have roadies and megabucks, this is your amp.

Overall: I play bass in a Christian rock group and needed an amp with more volume than the Crate I was using. I love this Behringer. It has the volume to rattle anything around it, including walls and windows, and has features that would normally be found only on much more expensive models. My drummer likes to feel the bass, and this 61 pound powerhouse doesn't disappoint! Great amp for an unbeatable price!
