Marshall VBA400 400 Watt All-Tube Bass Amp

Marshall VBA400 400 Watt Valve Bass Amp

                Buy It!



Nobody does valve (tube) amplification better than Marshall. When it comes to bass players who demand a high-powered, reliable, and musical sounding bass amplifier, the Marshall VBA400 delivers.

The warm, deep tone of the VBA400 not only expands and enhances the sound of your bass when playing live, it also adds a unique, 3-D quality to recordings.

Designed for serious bass player, the VBA400 takes advantage of Marshall's years of vacuum tube amplifier experience. The VBA400 has the massive tonal power of eight 6550 power tubes, plus three ECC83 and one ECC82 preamp tubes.

Front-panel controls are purposefully minimal, with 3-band EQ allowing hands-on tonal adjustment, especially when using the 3-position 'Contour' control. Stage bassists will also appreciate the 'Tuner Mute" facility to mute the signal to the loudspeakers and the DI for silent tuning between songs.

  • 8 x 6550 output tubes
  • 3 x ECC83 [12AX7] and 1 x EXX82 preamp tubes
  • 400 watts of Marshall tone
