Hughes & Kettner Guitar & Bass Amplification Musical Instrument Amplifier User Manual


 
BassBase is the place where massive sound
pressure and articulate tone converge.
Widely hailed as a contemporary classic, this
tower of power is numerous pro players’ first-
choice rig courtesy of its substantial qualities,
tonal flexibility and virtually unlimited
power. BassBase 600 is the ultimate head
for bassists seeking total control over every
detail of their sound.
With painstaking effort, our engineers
succeeded in tuning the BassBase’s input
stage to retain all the subtleties of every
instrument’s inherent tone. The Gain knob
dials in the perfect level for the post input
EQ circuitry. Simply saturate the preamp
tube by twisting this knob to dial in growling
rock-approved tone. The signal then passes
through a classic Bass/Treble voicing section
and two alternative sets of our unique
BASSBASE 600
Absolute Bass
The non-compromise custom class bass head
Varimetric™ 2-band semi-parametric EQ.
This dual EQ section provides instant access
to two different sounds at the touch of a
button
– the perfect tool for switching from
an electric to an acoustic bass on the fly.
The high-quality, transformer-balanced DI
Out delivers great direct-to-desk sound. Its
notch filter effectively eliminates annoying
stage rumble. And more than 1,000 watts of
continuous output power will forever put an
end to your headroom concerns. In a nutshell,
the BassBase 600 is simply the most powerful
and precise tool on the market. No other
amp can transform your ideas about tone into
reality with such ease and authority!
Our Quantum cabinets are perfect matches
for BassBase amps!
