ULTRABASS BX1200: Power, flexibility and great sound. 

Looking for a bass combo to cover all of your practice, rehearsal and recording needs? One that will not only deliver awesome sound and incredible low-end punch, but also enough power to compete with a band? And—if you had your way—one that could also cut it on larger stages with additional speakers? No such thing, you say? Then check out the BX1200.

Behringer's largest ULTRABASS combo combines raw power with an amazingly flexible 2-channel preamp section and an abundance of professional I/O options rarely found in bass combos, to give you everything you need in a bass combo and then some. Its oversized power supply, along with the revolutionary, Dynamizer circuitry and the carefully designed bass reflex enclosure, ensure that the short-circuit proof, virtually indestructible power amp with its two-speed thermo-controlled fan will always deliver to its full capability without sacrificing punch or sound quality. The BX1200’s preamp section starts with your choice of active or passive inputs, and goes on to offer incredible tone-shaping power, with separate gain controls for each channel and a 4-band EQ. Channel two features our switchable and tunable Shape function, which ideally complements the EQ by giving you extra control over those dreaded “nasal” mid frequencies. Both channels also share a built-in ULTRABASS function. Based on Behringer's celebrated psychoacoustics units, this subharmonics processor adds ultra-low frequencies to your sound and is tunable and switchable via a front-panel button or the included footswitch.

The BX1200 features a custom-made 12" aluminum cone speaker that reproduces your sound with incredible power, sensitivity and warmth. Should you need extra clout for larger venues, you’ve got the option of connecting additional speakers and/or power amps. And speaking of connections, you’ll also appreciate the stereo tape I/O, the insert facility for outboard effects or processors (preamp out/power amp in), and the tuner and headphone outputs. Not to mention the balanced DI out with XLR connector, perfect for recording or PA applications. Oh, and by the way: the BX1200’s innovative wedge shape allows you to use it standing up or tipped back at a perfect floor monitor angle.

Features:

  • 120-Watt RMS amp in wedge-shaped bass reflex cabinet
  • Custom-made 12" speaker with aluminum cone
  • Full 2-channel operation with Shape function on channel two
  • Active, extremely musical 4-band EQ
  • Switchable ULTRABASS subharmonics processor for unbelievable low-end power
  • DYNAMIZER circuitry for ultimate punch at any volume
  • Stereo tape I/O, power amp in, preamp out, speaker out, tuner out, balanced DI out, phones out
  • Channel select/ULTRABASS on/off footswitch included

'tis pretty snazzy

I was unsure as to whether I should give this amp a 7 or 8. I decided to give it an 8 as it has been very reliable, gives a good sound with lots of sound-shaping possibilities and is cheap as chips.

It gives great value-for-wonga and can quite comfortably hold its own at a band practice. The included footpedal gives instant volume change and also the 'ultrabass' function which gives off a really great bassy sound. It also looks pretty fab. You can't see it in that picture but when it's in front of you you can see the massive 12" aluminium cone through the grille and it looks great.

I just use mine as a practise amp now and because it has a great signal/noise ratio I can get a really good sound out of it at any volume.

I would reccommend this piece of kit to those who are serious about music but are just starting to rehearse with a band, and possibly doing some small gigs.

Behringer Ultrabass BX1200

Well what can I say?
At first glance you can see why Behringer have got such a good name.
The amp weighs around the top end of twenty-something kilos, making it a solid amp which is hard to damage(I know, I have a 3yr old!).
The sound which emanates from this nice and compact unit is clean and clear with very little distortion, even at high volumes.
The pedal is well made and can take pretty much everything you throw at it(including toys thrown mid-tantrum). The ability to kick in the 'Ultrabass' with the pedal was a nice little touch turning this powerful bass amp into a 'scary noise' which is sure to send small children running into another room with hands over their ears.
The full range of dials on the front is perfect for creating that sound that is just right for your playing and with the option of being able to link up more cabinets make this the perfect amp from jumping from the garage to the main stage. The headphone socket is a godsend for parents(and my fiance) who want that peace and quiet in their life.
The unit is secure whilst standing in the traditional upright position but is equally as impressive when shifted into its 'kicked-back' position.
Overall an impressive sound with an extremely affordable price tag making this an absolute bargin.

I would suggest a definate 9/10. It would of been a 10/10 but I found that at the end of a half mile walk with this twenty-something kilo beast attached to my arm I wasnt fit picking up a plectrum, let alone playing a 5 song set.

Not very good
A real let down I would not recomend this amp to anybody who wants to practice with their band with out buying a cab as well. But The only cabs you can get for it are 4 ohms and there isn,t many of them around to buy. avoid this amp if you want a decent amp and save yourself £1.39.
