Designed for players who transition seamlessly between the rehearsal room, the studio, and the stage, the BG-450 is proof that high-volume authority doesn't require a hernia.

Gig-Ready Clarity and Power
The BG-450 marries Phil Jones's revolutionary high-fidelity drivers with an advanced power section to deliver a sound that is both loud and true.
Dominant Power, Discreet Size
- Massive Output: Delivers a punchy 300 Watts into its internal speakers and expands to a thunderous 500 Watts total when you connect an 8-ohm extension cabinet. This portable bass amp has the volume you need to cut through a full band mix.
- Four Chrome-Dome Drivers: Equipped with four proprietary 4 x 5” PJB Chrome-Dome drivers. This four-speaker array delivers an incredible punch and a solid, fast low-end response, ensuring tight articulation and low distortion—essential for extended-range basses.
- Efficient Hybrid Design: Features a pure Class-A, ultra-low noise preamp paired with a highly efficient Class-D power amplifier. This combination maximizes dynamic range and ensures that this powerful compact bass combo runs cool, minimizing weight and heat.
Precision Tone Shaping for Practice and Performance
- Surgical 5-Band EQ: Achieve total control over your tone with the dedicated 5-Band Precision EQ System. Center frequencies are carefully chosen (50Hz, 160Hz, 630Hz, 2.5KHz, 12KHz at +/- 18dB) to allow you to effortlessly find your ideal sound and compensate for challenging room acoustics.
- Flexible Input: The variable gain input section perfectly matches both active and passive basses, ensuring optimal signal performance no matter your instrument choice. This makes it an ideal practice bass amp for quiet rehearsal and professional recording.
Seamless Professional Integration
The BG-450 is engineered for the working musician's reality:
- DI Output Confidence: The balanced DI output is switchable between Pre or Post EQ and includes a Ground Lift. This allows you and the sound engineer full control over the signal sent to the PA or recording board, guaranteeing your tone stays intact.
- FX Management: A controllable Send/Return FX patch with a blend feature lets you integrate your favorite pedals while maintaining the core integrity of your direct signal.
- Global Readiness: With universal AC voltage capability (100 volts to 240 volts), this portable bass amp is ready for any international tour schedule.
