ULTRABASS BT108

FOREWORD

Dear musician,

Congratulations and thank you very much for purchasing the BT108, the newest addition to BEHRINGER’s range of bass amplification products.

The ULTRABASS BT108 offers the latest in bass amps, and is guaranteed to be an inspiring companion wherever music takes you.

Had anybody told you a few years ago that one day you’d be able to buy a bass amp with authentic tube sound at such an unbeatable price, you would have

probably called him nuts. But I wanted this amp to become reality, and now we‘ve actually made it! With our ULTRABASS BT108 you can now follow in the footsteps of all the big bass legends. Simply unpack it, plug it in and you’re ready to go! The ULTRABASS BT108 gives you everything your heart desires.

What we really wanted was to give you a truly high-quality bass amp. Believe me: With all those years of experience under our belt, we know what an amp needs to put up with. No matter how often you practice or how many sessions you have with your friends: when it comes to quality and sound, your ULTRABASS BT108 will give you years and years of pure enjoyment.

Now, just in case you’re wondering how we can offer such a high-quality bass amp at such an unbelievably low price... the answer is totally simple: it’s thanks to you! Many satisfied customers means large volumes of units sold. Many units sold means better purchase prices for components, and so on. So, we just passed this price advantage on to you. It’s only fair, isn’t it?

Enough talk now. One day, when you’re one of those legendary bassists yourself, we hope you’ll say that your first real bass amp was a BEHRINGER. In that case, you have made a dream come true for us, too.

Thank you very much,

Uli Behringer

VTC Virtual Tube Circuitry

The VTC Virtual Tube Circuitry was specially developed to lend the bass sound the unique character of classic tube amps.

Jam it up!
