Mesa Boogie Bass 400+ Head - USA 1993

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.
