Hughes & Kettner

Bass Amplification

Feel the earth move every time.

Bass is the musical bottom line, the baritone bond that ties groove and harmonies together. With the responsibility of holding down the bottom firmly in mind, bass players demand amps that deliver sumo-sized tone. No room for lean cuisine here.

Hughes & Kettner has designed tailored solutions for bass players for almost as long as we have been making guitar amps. Though history teaches that the sound of guitar-driven rock is rooted in very specific American bass amp circuitry, a bass amp patterned on a guitar rig won’t do for you. You’re seeking a breed apart, a serious tool with all the thrust it takes to make the earth more. A tone machine that does it all from bright to brutal and from wooly to wiry.

A subsonic dynamo that inspires you to turn up the best lines.

Determined to exceed your expectations, we design bass amps with our trademark attention to musical detail. Our company’s contingent of bass players won’t settle for anything less. And that’s a performance promise you can take us up on at any time! Regardless of what you’re looking for in a bass rig – boutique mystique, a sensible rig for the working pro or your first real bass kick – look no further than HKBA!
