Bass Amp Heads

Bass Amp Heads are the part of a bass amp which your bass guitar gets plugged into and contains the main electronic components. These circuits produce tones that can be altered to the desired sound using the control knobs. Bass amp heads are usually paired up with a bass speaker cabinet to make a bass stack. Bass amp heads drive the speaker cab and together the sound can be amplified to loud volumes, enough volume for performing with. Many gigging bassists prefer compact or micro bass heads instead of a bass combo amp, due to their size and weight as they can be easy to travel with to and from shows.

There are many brands that manufacture bass amp heads, with many options to choose, from valve amp heads to solid state and even hybrid amps which give you the best of both worlds.

We have a great range to select from including popular brands such as Orange, Mark Bass and the small in size but powerful, bass amp heads by Darkglass Electronics.
