zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Light and Loud, Plug & Play ease of use unsurpassed tone, punch, and clarity the choice of the World's BEST Bass Players!

Thunderfunk Bass Amps are the direct descendants of the amp that Jaco Pastorius loved, the legendary AMP BH-420, improved, and handmade in the U.S.A. by Dave Funk. With an all-aluminum chassis, the TFB750-A weighs in at only 21 pounds. Quieter than other amps, with two great sounding DI's, it's perfect for Studio or TV use.

The Thunderfunk's tone is achieved by using high quality film caps in the preamp's signal chain... just like a high quality mixing board. Twenty-five times more expensive than electrolytics used in other amps, film cap's tighter tolerances maintain phase coherence through the amp, producing a focused punch unlike any other amp. Add two to three times the filter caps of other amps, you get a round, focused bottom that doesn't roll around the stage but instead projects into the room.

Dynamic range is a function of power, transient response, and quiet. Thunderfunk purposely doesn't use toroid transformers as they've found they don't sound as good as the old-fashioned "EI" iron. And to reduce hum, they add a "hum-bucking" wire across the transformer to inject hum into the preamp's ground cancelling the radiated hum achieving an amp quieter than an equivalent toroid powered amp. With their unique "SS/Tube Switch" you'll be able to choose from a super clean solid-state tone for slap and double bass playing, to a gutty, warm, tube-tone for all the rest.

"So much tone you'll die from it."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I'll play it forever.
Sound
Any sound you can imagine can be found. I have never heard such clarity through the entire range of my instrument.
Features
C'mon it has two effects loops, one pre and one post. Same goes for the direct outs...pre and post and that is pure genius. Not to mention the pre amp settings. Choosing to have a solid state or tube sound really helps dial in the exact sound I need.
Ease of Use
Set it flat and be amazed that easily. After that it's just fine tuning for the song or sound your doing.
Quality
I don't think the military could make it stronger.
Value
I was scared of the price but took the chance and I got a sweet deal. If I would have bought this first I would have not spent so much on garbage.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed any.
The Wow Factor
It could be pink....tone baby tone.
