Has anyone had experience with the Behringer BX1200 120 Watt Combo Amp? I'm getting one for christmas for practices and small-gigs. Any input is appreciated.. Thanks
Well I'm basically looking for more power.. My guitarists play at about 75W and the 15W combo isnt doing much. I'm sure its a step up
I'm bad! Sorry for the snob remark.....As long as you're not trying to rock the house, should be fine: not bad for small gigs. The one I had was a solid piece of gear and well built, just not very good for hollow body and acoustic basses. Hope it meets your needs! S
I agree-- I used to play my acoustic bass through it and I wasn't impressed. My fender was okay-- I wouldn't say yeah go out and buy one, theres much better stuff. But if you could find one cheap I think they can be okay and you can use it for a monitor for a PA when you're done.
Look at some new or used Yorkville combos. Yorkville's 50 watt combo is louder than Behringer's "120 watt" combo.
I think the problem is we look at watts as volume the yorkville just uses less power to make the same sound as the behringer. So the yorkville 50 watt would even help on your electric bill
Thanks for the input.. any other comments?? Hows the ultrabass or shape function? What about the equalizer? Can I attach a cab on it, and then upgrade to a head later? Thanks
Yeah. My screenname is Im A Sellout Too obviously I left off an O when I was making my username here. I rarely used the ultrabass feature. It was more of a gimmick. The two channels are nice, the shape was just blah. I never tried extending the cab or anything. However I have used it in PAs in a pinch. So can't go wrong. I have nothing against it, but its not amazing either. Need something much louder, real cheap. its worth it.
Also, the Behringers use an aluminum speaker cone which not alot of people like the sound of, plus they crack very easily. They're not as durable as paper cones, believe it or not.
