Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the HUGHES & KETTNER BassBase 600!
The BassBase 600 represents our goal of designing the ultimate bass amp, featuring the cutting edge of
contemporary amplification technology. In respect to performance, sound quality, flexibility and workmanship,
we made our dream of the perfect bass amp a reality (and hopefully yours too).
In addition to all the tried-and-true features of classic bass amps, the BassBase 600 offers many innovative
details that will help you translate your ideas about sound into music.
In spite of its wealth of features, the BassBase 600 is designed to be straightforward to understand and easy
to operate. This manual will help you exploit the many options your new amp offers.
We wish you much enjoyment and success with your BassBase 600!
BEFORE OPERATING....
Check the voltage rating displayed next to the amp's AC socket. Make sure it matches your local AC current
before you plug the amp’s power cord into an AC outlet.
Place the amp on a sturdy, secure base (no, a stack of empty beer crates won't do). If you install the amp in a
rack, make sure the amp is supported from the rear, or is mounted at the bottom rack space.
HUGHES & KETTNER is not liable for damage to the amp due to incorrect installation in racks.
