![]() Well, because of the bass reflex cabinet, this one is quite hard to carry aroung and it also weights quite much (compared to its size) but that's it, nothing else to complain about. Last day I was jamming with my drummer friend and we did everything from slap-funk to power-metal, and the Behringer definitely had enough power for those situations. This combo is also surprisingly powerful. The eq is also good enough, but it's shared for both channels. As the 2-channel system, the ultrabass is also controllable from the footswitch. The BX 1200 also contains an octaver (behringer calls it ultrabass) and it is a nice extra function, but it's not very revolutionary, nice to play with sometimes. The shape-function really does a lot to your sound, but it takes a while to learn how to use it with the 2-channel system. I really like the whole unit, the sound is great and with the shape function you can get a lot of different sounds out.įor example, if you set the channel one for a jaco-style sound, it's only one step on the footswitch and you can get a nice, round slap sound ( well maybe you have to pan your pickups a bit more to the neck side then ). The main reason to change my amp was actually that the Laney didn't like much my Warwick's B-string played hard and it was quite lousy for bass anyway (no proper eq or anything.) I bought it from a local music store (Tampere, Finland), the original price was 329 euros, but I gave them my Laney Kc100 keyboard amplifier, which I had used as my bass amp, and so I managed to drop the price to 179 . I would recommend this amp to anyone at any level. ![]() Everything about this amp is excellent from the sound to the contruction to the power to the size. I have never regretted buying the Behringer BX 1200. I think they could sell at twice the price. The quality and construction are excellent. I really can't think of anything I don't like about his amp ! With the money I made selling the Ampeg I was able to pay for the Behringer and buy a new guitar. The Behringer sounds like an Ampeg, Fender,Gallen Kruger or just about any other amp you can think of. Don't get me wrong, Ampegs sound great, but they only sound like an Ampeg. The amp sounds excellent, in fact I sold my Ampeg SVT on ebay after a few weeks of playing with the Behringer. I also planned on returning the amp if I didn't like it in any way. I had never heard thisĪmp before, but I liked the features and portability of the amp. I purchased this bass amp through Musicians Friend for $279.99. I would be a better amp if they stripped all that ultrabass and sound shapeing crap off and made it one channel with the power they advertised. Not that I'm so great (Although I am good) But this amp was way below standard in quality of it's eletronic components. This product is strictly for beginners who are just starting to explore the world of music.Ĭonstruction was good, it was solid but overwieght (60+ pounds)īuying this amp was a big mistake. The ultrabass function is a joke (Do any real musicians have a use for this?) I used a Fender Twin reverb as a gutarist and now that I've begun playing bass I'm embarassed to have used this amp. what I like anot this amp is that when the speaker blew after 16 days (No, I was not cranking it to its limit) while I was practicing scales, The warranty repair allowed me to donate this thing to a charity and writ it off. What the hell was right! I don't like anything about this amp. Anyway for $199.00 I figured what the hell. ![]() Checked out Musicians Friend and liked the price, although I was unfamiliar with Behringer products.
