Orange Crush Bass 50 50W 12" Bass Guitar Amplifier and Speaker Combo, Orange

Top🔝

First, let it be understood that this 50W bass amp would struggle to be heard in any live gig situation. Bass speakers need much more power, so don't make the mistake of assuming this 50W bass amp will be as loud as a 50W guitar amp. This is a very inexpensive and punchy bass practice amp that may also see me through a small pub gig. The cabinet is rugged and I think it will last me for years. It's not unforgivingly heavy. Even in my mid-sixties I can easily manhandle it, only needing my strapping young son's help in moving it up and down stairs. As well as the expected bass/mid/treble controls (and the mid is parametric) there is a really lovely feature called the Blender. For this reason I recommend you buy a latching footswitch you can stomp on to turn the Blender on (or off.) The Blender is a "bi-amp" simulator, which splits the signal into two parts. You get a clean bass signal through one part, and by tweaking the gain and blend controls you can introduce some "nasty" guitar-like distorted high and mid frequencies. There is a separate volume control for the overall gain. If you intend to play nice with your band you'll want to be able to switch the blender in and out easily during performance, otherwise you'll be annoying your keyboard player or guitarist for no good reason. If you play solo, though, go for it! Hendrix the s*** out of it, to paraphrase the Matt Damon character from The Martian. If you want your pedals to sit after the pre-amp, there is also an "FX loop", which is a common feature of bass and guitar amps. Otherwise just take your pedalboard output to the amp input. The headphone output features a cabinet simulator, which I'm given to understand can also be patched right into a PA or mixer as an alternative to conventional miking. Sounds cool, but I haven't tried it. There is an aux input (3.5mm) which is handy if you want to play along with a track from your phone or computer. Finally, if you have an active bass there is a button next to the input which will compensate by trimming a few dB from the sound level.

Bom custo benefício

I’ve had a slew of practice amps, Traynor, Yorkville, blah blah blah. This is a good sounding amp that works well with my Ibanez multi scale 5 string. It’s loud enough for tiny pub gigs . I’m no pro but have been playing bar gigs on weekends since 1989. Money well spent is my opinion.
