Picked up a brand new Bugera 1960 today! I wanted something to replace my Marshall Lemmy SuperBass which I unfortunately had to sell when I got Laid off last year. And this sounds great, much like the SuperBass only dirt cheap... Hopefully it keeps turning on!

Hopefully it keeps turning on!

Indeed!

 

[Super Bass]

Indeed!

I can hardly believe it really is a great sounding amp! I bought L&M's extra warranty, LOL

 

[Super Bass]

It has pretty much the same sound as the Super Bass that I had, much closer than the Peavey Windsor that I also have.

Interesting, I was wondering how well these would work for bass, now I really want to give one a try

Really it is a cheap knock off but I am digging it so far!

Can you get any good clean sounds from it and is there a lot of low end?

Not really! But yes there is low end. It is a copy of a Marshall Super Lead (I believe) which is a guitar amp. Not really what most would think is a good bass amp....

 

[Rugmaster]

Well I have other amps for clean sounds anyway... but I am seriously considering buying one of these now

My TC amp has been going strong now for 8 years. I have no problems with their quality.

What is a TC amp?

“TC Electronics”, a sister company to Bugera under the Music Tribe umbrella.

I had the older 1960 ( without auto Bias ). It sounds GREAT for bass and loud as H#$$. Definitely a sleeper Bass Amp. Congrats!!!!

There are a few threads about these on TB. They talk about jumping the inputs and throwing different types of power tubes in there, all positive.

The parallel 1 input combines channel 1 and 2....

I read somewhere on TB where members were putting 6550 and KT88 tubes in the Infinium version.

I like the sound of EL34s. I have always loved the sound of Marshalls, and since I sold my beloved Lemmy Super Bass this is a cheap way to get a similar tone.

I hear ya. I have a Peavey VB-3 and have EL34’s in that, love the tight mid-punch those give you.

Got mine a couple days ago, I really like how it sounds so far and it is plenty loud through my Ampeg 212AV

Mine quit working already and with all this covid 19 stuff I can't take it back to L&M right now! Glad your digging your amp....
