THE BEST BASS AMPS
Bass Amps are specially designed for bass instruments, and if you own a bass you shouldn't use a guitar amp! Whereas over the years some guitarists have opted to use bass amps with their electric guitars, the opposite is not recommended, if you want your bass to sound deep and powerful enough.
Some of the best brands include Ashdown, Aguilar, Laney, Orange, Darkglass, and Fender. If you plan to gig, you'll need at least 100 watts output from your bass, but if you're just playing at home or recording, a smaller and quieter bass will definitely be the best option - and will keep your family and neighbors happy!
