Bass guitar amp - top picks

In this section we examine a few popular bass amp cabinets such as:

The SWR WorkingPro 2X10 Bass Cabinet : Do you want portable power handling and professional quality at an affordable price? The SWR WorkingPro 2X10 may be just what you're looking for. This 200 watt bass amp will provide you with the thumping lows, crisp highs and sweet-spot midrange you need. I like the fact that it's portable, weighing only 55 lbs. It's relatively small as well, so I can carry it in my car easily. It costs about $400.

The Hartke 2200 Professional Bass Cabinet has 300 watts of power and two 12 inch speakers. Features include 1 in. Compression Driver on 60 x 60 degree Medium Throw Horn, 2 Hartke Aluminum cone 12 in. XL drivers, 18db/oct slope @ 5000hz Crossover with overload protection, 2 Airflow Curved ports, and Dual Baltic Birch angled baffle boards. You should be able to find one for around $400.

The Behringer BB115 Bass Cabinet handles 600 watts at 8 ohms. It comes with a large 15 inch Bugera speaker and a powerful, remotely switchable 1 inch horn tweeter. This bass amp cabinet is perfect for those who want to experience classic bass tone without the pricetag. Last time I checked, it was being sold for $179.95.
