On 2008-03-30, PeteBassclef rated this Behringer BX4500H a 4...(12952)
History: Bass player since 1966.(15 yrs old!)
Played all sorts of styles since then.
60's pop,70's rock,80's glam.
Purchase: Weeks of internet/forum research.Decided to ignore "snobs" comments about Ashdown copy
& bought the Head, 1x15 Cab & 2x10 Cab for under £500 incl delivery.Gear arrived in 3 days.You simply can't beat that for a full stack.
Bought via the Internet from GAK (UK)
Pros: Price! Price! Price!
The gear also looks good.It does look similar to Ashdown,what's wrong with that?
I got the full stack for the price of an Ashdown head.
Plenty of power,& once you get used to the EQ section,loads of tonal variations via the SHAPE control.The cabs don't break your back either.
Cons: The Ultrabass function doesn't impress me, so I never use it.I wish Behringer would replace this with Compression control.
I rated this amp 4 out of 5 because it didn't have Compression control.
Regarding the cabinets....you don't have any control over the Tweeters.They are either On or Off (via a switch)
Too drastic sometimes, so a pot would be better.
Master volume pot is way too sensitive.
Would prefer it to be "notched" like Trace Elliot amp.Sometimes you need a quick tweak so you have to be careful with this pot.
Quality: Top marks for construction & quality.
1 year using it. No complaints here. Review Summary: Apart from no compression control & the sensitive master volume, I can't fault this gear considering the price.
On 2006-08-26, Guido rated this Behringer BX4500H a 5...(12498)
History: Bass player for 32 years. Playing locally though I've been in a couple of signed bands and toured the U.S. Pop alternative is what I'm listening to primarily now.
Purchase: Bought the BX4500H at Guitar Center for $250 on credit card. I was in search of the ever elusive, "Magic Tone"
Pros: Can't beat the price or the tone, now that Behringer solved the noise problems on these units. I tried a couple units on opposite ends of town and, NOISE. Got a much newer unit and, perfect!!
Cons: Right now I can't think of a single thing I don't like about this unit. I've only had the unit for about 2 hours. I plan to use it tonight on a gig.
Quality: Totally compact and solid. Review Summary: I don't know how Behringer does it with their products for the price. I've owned several Ampegs, SWR, Acoustic, Marshall, currently own a Gallien-Krueger. This thing sounds like an Ashdown bass head but for 1/4 of the price!! For me, Behringer hit this one out of the park!!
