The Mesa Boogie Bass 400 is a powerful and versatile bass amplifier head that has been a mainstay in the bass player community since its introduction in the late 1970s. It is a tube amplifier that delivers a warm and rich sound, with plenty of headroom and power for any type of music.
One of the standout features of the Bass 400 is its flexible EQ section, which allows players to shape their tone with precision. The amp has four-band EQ controls for bass, low mid, high mid, and treble frequencies, as well as a deep switch that adds extra low-end punch. Additionally, the amp has a bright switch that can add clarity to the high frequencies.
The Bass 400 also has a number of other useful features for bass players, including a built-in limiter that can help prevent distortion and protect your speakers, a balanced XLR output for recording or running the amp into a mixing console, and a series effects loop that allows you to add pedals and other effects to your signal chain.
