Vintage tone
The alternatives for bass players looking for the warmth and crunch of old-time tube amps are not plenty today. Sure, there are great vintage amps still around but they often comes with the baggage of high maintenance costs and plenty of weight to carry around. The one modern amp that we suggest comes ‘as close as you’ll get’ without the mentioned downsides is the EBS Classic 500.
Solid state power amp
With the solid state power amp, crunchy organic Drive and total control over the mid-range through separate Low- and High-mid controls, the Classic 500 is the perfect tool to re-create the sounds of the past, while having the punch of more modern amps as well.
The Classic 500 is pure joy to play!
