Valve Bass Amps

Valve Bass Amps (also known as tube bass amps) including bass amp heads and bass combos are loved for their incredible tone. While solid-state bass amps and DI boxes can offer complete transparency, valve bass amps colour the sound of your bass guitar to deliver a rich low end and exciting saturated bass tone. With full control over your bass sound with high mid and bass settings, and optional features like adjustable compression, footswitchable overdrive, mute switch and a two channel setup, a tube bass amp could be what's missing from your setup to get the sound you're looking for!

Valve bass amps give you a tone that is nothing short of glorious. They give your bass a smooth, spongy tone and are much more forgiving than their precise solid-state cousins.

Valve bass amps have a power rating in watts, which relates to the volume that they produce. Bass amps tend to have a higher wattage than guitar amps because bass frequencies are harder to hear and so need to be amplified more. Most valve bass amps tend to be heads rather than combos which means you will need to get the ‘cabinet’ - which houses the speakers - separately.
