INTRODUCTION A series of compact amplifiers for Bass instruments like nothing you have seen or heard before. These full frequency, extended headroom, integrated combo amps could be used for virtually any amplified instrument but are specifically tuned to the unique needs of Electric and Upright Bassists. Our considerations in these amp designs were multifold and our objectives are to provide: • An affordable amplifier for the discerning musician. • A gigging amplifier for the seasoned professional.

TROUBLESHOOTING When your unit seems to not work properly, take a few minutes to troubleshoot before calling service. You can save yourself time and money by doing it yourself, because the source of problem is often something quite simple. What is the problem? • There is no sound from the amp and LEDs don’t light up. - Check your AC outlet - Outlet is ok. -> Check power cord, unit fuses (BC150 only, BC,10, BC20, BC40 and BC80 has no user serviceable fuses) and power switch. - No power in outlet.
