Behringer BXL450 Ultrabass Bass Combo Amplifier (45 Watts, 1x10")
With 45 watts in a compact size and outfitted with a 5-band EQ and a distortion channel, the BXL450 bass combo amp is versatile enough for most gigs.

"Nice, tight little package, a few small flaws."

It suits my purposes fine. I like its sound and size. Behringer dominates the bass combo market in this price range for a good reason. If it went away I'd replace it with another one or maybe one a little bigger for a fuller bottom end.
Sound
The sound on the clean channel is smooth, tight and punchy. It loses the fundamental frequency and "doubles" below about 80 Hz, but you have to expect that with a low-power 10 inch. The distortion channel sounds gross to me - I would never use it, but that's just me. The amp is clean and has no hum, hiss or grounding problems.
Features
It's a bass amp, how many features do you need? The EQ feature works well and lets you shape the sound over a wide range, but the slide pots were crackly out of the box. They got better with use.
Ease of Use
Easy enough. The controls on the distortion channel are a little odd, but I don't use them anyway.
Quality
Overall quality is good, except for the dirty slide pots. It's reasonably well built, but it's a living room amp, not a road amp.
Value
Excellent value in this price range.
Manufacturer Support
Can't rate - don't know.
The Wow Factor
It's not terribly sexy, but its value makes it appealing.

I just received my Behringer BX450 a few days ago and have found it to be a great asset to my music. Not only is it the best bass amp I have played but it brings my old Yamaha FG-300 to life along with my K&K pickup.Thank You Behringer.

Its a good practice amp for just a bassist. Not quite loud enough for band practice but still a solid amp.
Sound
It's got good sound but not as loud as i would like. Good for practicing by yourself maybe with guitar player and drummer but idk. i use a louder one with my band.
Features
Bass amp you dont need alot of features. Though FBQ equalizer is pretty nice.
Ease of Use
plug in turn on, if you cant figure that out your an idoit.
Quality
Its a solid little amp with good quality.
Value
I would save a little bit more cash for the 90 watt version, but for somebody with a budget this will do.
The Wow Factor
