Ive read things like it blew breakers in peepls house (better that than have a low voltage burn out of yer transfomer [been there done that...] Dont matter what amp you own if you get loud yer gonna pull amps. I always put this guy on a seperate circuit than anything else and it has yet to brown or trip any breaker. Has tons of features (truly versatile as h3ll!). negative: lacks heaphone output but u can get around that only u hear in one ear../ heavy as an armored truck/ thats the only 2 things i can say bad about it. where ANY Bass amp (or preamp for that matter/ onboard that is) Ive only seen mid-switch of 250/600 k this thing has 5 shifts of mid 250-3000k!/ 9 band EQ and yes the EQ is REAL you can hear/feel every slight of hand that you shift a band. Main thing is I got this at some stupid markdown or closeout at Amazon for only 256.00$ delivered! Thats right! at that price i couldnt refuse it and i wish i would have bought 2 of them! That said if it delivers 3000 (true in ther regards of how most peepl view watts as if they were a reliable reference to decibels....) no way..BUT..you rig up 3 cabinets and run 2 ohms I will promise you there will not be a window or anything in your house not nailed or glued down that wont vibrate like Sybil (Exorcist) on steroids has brought yer house down. Bottom line kids...it Do Deliver! Just use common sense and reference material if you need when hooking this guy up and play by the rules and you will not be unhappy---well you may get a hernia toting it around w/o a rack on wheels but otherwise you be happy :D

After seeing this amp on this site and many others and seeing its capabilities of putting out 800 to 3800 watts (who needs 3800 watts though lets be real) for such an affordable price i thought i would search around a bit and do my research. I read stories about the amp blowing cabs, catching fire etc. I personally have owned this head for MONTHS now, i run it through the 800w output and i practice with it every weekend, and play many shows with this head and i have had ZERO problems with it. It sounds phenomenal as well, this head puts out such a punchy low roar but also has the ability to be clean and resonant, making it able to be used for practically any genre. The 9 band on board EQ is a HUGE plus as well, meaning you dont have to spend extra on an EQ pedal. The only cons i can really dish out about this head is that its drive isnt all that good, i would highly considering buying some sort of distortion pedal for this head (Sans Amp, MXR-M80, B7K Darkglass). It's fairly heavy and awkward to carry but then again, most things bass related are heavy and awkward to carry am i right? If you're thinking about investing in this head, i say go for it! you can even finance it like i did and pay $100 for 4 months. Super easy.

This is the amp for a bassist looking for a easily modulated yet clean tone. Sounds great on both active and passive pickups. I love this amp.

I previously ordered a Behringer BVT-550 watt head. I wanted that warm tube sound that would sound or emulated the sound of an Ampeg. It sounded great, just one problem, not enough power, depending on your set-up 550 watts would be suitable enough, but my my cabinet the legendary Behringer BB810 with the aluminum cones (not paper), this cabinet moves some serious air, therefore you need a powerful amp to accomodate for the power it needs. This cabinet is rated at 2,000 watts. It just literally sucked all the power from the BVT-550, so I needed an amp that had the to produce a minimum amount of wattage, just to give it the ample sound it needed. I chose the Legendary Bugera Nuke 3600 watt head and it's rated perfect for it. More head-room than I'll ever need (and that's what you want!). Bugera/Behringer are compatible with each other because they're made by the same company; Bugera are the higher end products Behringer sells. Stop listening to al the bad reviews that people are always talking about behringer/Bugera products, they say things like, they don't last, they are cheaply made products . Behringer/Bugera use highly quality components and rugged construction which can take abuse if it happens. This amp is massive in size and very heavy, roughly 45lbs. That brushed aluminum finish with the 9-band eq (LED'S) they didn't tell you about that. This amps looks great under the lights. The sound is clear, warm and buttery. The compression is great because smoothes out volume peaks when playing dynamic slaps, which I do a lot. This amp has so many great features on it, 2 many to mention, but some of the one's I'm impressed with are overload protection and protect speakers. Bright switch, graphic-eq switch, ultra low, ultra high switch, this thing looks like a christmas tree when all the buttons are pressed, but use accordingly, you really don't have to use all these at one time, but they are there if you need them.You don't have to be a pro to recognize exceptional quality, however they're a lot of pro's who use Bugera/Behringer products. If you want to waste your money buying those high end amps that lack the quality and features this amps offers, then go-ahead. The products Bugera and Behringer make are for real hard working people, not for prissy professionals. Besides German craftsmanship can not be be surpassed you know that, Mercedes Benz is one of the most Beautifully made cars ever, and they make the Legendary Glockenklang cabinets which a lot of people do know about. You owe to yourself to get the most out of your more without sacrificing the quality you want, and buy it from ZZounds, the're whole staff is great and will help with all your shopping needs, I will only deal with ZZounds no one else besides where can you get pay as you pay, guitar center doesn't have, musician's friend does not have it. Why go any where else. P.S. just one one thing, get the neutric-speakon cable with it, then your assured the best power and quality this amp can give.

It began to overheat and cut out after only a half hour at low volume. Fan sounded like a jet engine. I also don't believe this head is capable of the power output Bugera claims. Immediate return. Had a decent sound, but who cares about that if it breaks down so fast? (On a side note, I love the Hartke LH1000 I bought from zzounds)
