Here's to hoping they release a head version for plugging to a bigger speaker/set of speaker, and a katana bass mini version for those of us who need quiet practice at home.
My prayers have been answered. My prayers to Boss that is. I just wish they would have made a head version too since that is my favorite Katana for guitar.
Would be nice to hear various types of basses through it. 👍🏻 BOSS are to sell tons of those 😁 Note the Bluetooth/smartphone app feature, suggesting a future Katana update for guitars too 😉
This came right on time as I was looking for a fender rumble stage 800. Pls do a comparison with the fender rumble stage 800 against the boss 210. I'm curious which one goes the loudest. Oh and use a 5 string, I would like to hear how well these amps can handle the B string. Thx Edit: I've tested them both recently and the katana 210 can't handle the B string, all flat settings and volume at 3 o'clock. Fender rumble stage 800 wins hands down with flat setting. Fender 🔥🔥🔥
Well, well, well. . . I finally got my hands on a Bass VI this week, so naturally, I find myself musing about bass amps only to have this drop. To quote Primus, "Is it luck?"
Reminds me a lot of the TC Electronic combo bass amps from like 5 years ago. This is obviously better executed, but very similar. I would have liked to see more amp types. Ampeg, Fender, GK, Mark Bass, and maybe something like a Jazz setting where it's ultra warm.
Getting mine in a few days I can’t wait!! I’m a guitar player and decided I want to start slappin da bass. I have the guitar katana amp and LOVE it so it only seemed obvious to get the katana bass amp. Man I can’t wait to start funkin it up!!!! Funk bass for me!!!!!
Sadly, in earth physics, a "mini" amp speaker will not be good for bass guitar. Check out Positive Grid Spark Mini, they didn't release it yet but it's cabinet engineering looks superior than other mini amps.
@@zatouroff I hope it's better than the Spark 40. The "cabinet engineering" on that is crap: it's boomy for guitar, and yet sounds weak and a bit "processed" for bass. Don't get me wrong; it's a decent enough practice amp for bedroom levels, and it's pretty good for recording, but IME it doesn't like being cranked.
@@KeithMilner I don't like Spark and ID Core over other large inch single speakered combo amplifiers like Katana 50. Small speakers doesn't like to be cranked, it's all about the cabinet. But I believe Spark Mini might be promising amongst small amplifier marketplace. Blackstar Fly 3 sounds too meh for a "bass" guitar.
that's a bad idea, you're going to damage it. Get a bass amp. Running a guitar into a bass amp works amazing, though. Just don't run your bass into a guitar amp.
Yes! Seriously, I'm wondering if it would work as an occasional backup guitar amp, in place of my Katana, which I rarely put a guitar through anyway. A range of drives, a tweeter in the cab, and 10" speakers, unless the speakers and/or the amp have been heavily limited in the top end, it might work.
Let’s hear “Big Bottom”, that great song by Spinal Tap! If you recall the film, ALL the guitar players played Bass! I have a Hartke bass amp from 30 years ago, and it sounds GREAT with my ‘66 Fender Jazz Bass or my Danelectro Hodad.
Both the Crush 100 and Rumble 100 are not loud enough to gig. The Katana 100 for guitar absolutely keeps up with a drummer. But can the Bass 100 keep up?
So, I just got an Ibanez 4 string to start out with, along with the little Boss amp. Sweetwater popped in some electrical equipment and extra strings. Any other suggestions?
sounds great, but drives sounded really disappointing, especially comparing to Fender or Blackstar combos... maybe drives that you can dial in via app will sound better?
Darkglass: check out the new Exponent 500 Also Darkglass: :O (I have an Exponent 500). I do appreciate that they went for "Vintage, Flat, Modern" vs outright calling a specific amp out. I mean I'm sure Vintage is supposed to recall an SVT, for example, but I appreciate a little ambiguity (like the Vintage Microtubes from Darkglass, for example). I think a 500W+ class D head version and a line of cabinets would sell like hotcakes.
I have a Katana 100w guitar head I play thru a Fender Delux extention cab. It sounds pretty good, but there are certain effects that don't play nice. The Octave effect WILL NOT handle your bass.
Ooof seems boss has missed the mark 549 for the 210 and only 160w with only a few amp models, and then its the usual BOSS bollocks of, if you want to it fully its an extra 95 for the footswitch and 45 if you want the bluetooth.
Question for those with any experience that may be helpful here: If you have a Boss GT-10B, is there much point in getting one of these amps? Would the effects, etc not be very similar? Or, are the effects and DSP in these amps sufficiently advanced to justify going this route?
You’re joking, right? This is nothing more than a cut-down GT-1B + amp + speaker, alll housed in the same cabinet. And unless I’ve been on Mars for the last few years, when did effects ever get “advanced”? There’s literally NOTHING new with regard to effects for years and years now. Ever since pcs started getting so much easier to use for instrumentalists, you can just about create any effect you 😂desire. Plus, you can pretty much do that already with the GT-1B for many years now. Save your money and just get a decent amp and cabinet if you already have the GT-1B. You’ll get nothing whatsoever added no much removed if you get rid of the GT-1B and replace it with this combo. Do yourself a favour and get a nice little MarkBass combo or similar and you can’t go wrong.
I have a 30 watt amp (not this boss amps) and for samll gigs it works very well. I dont need to turn up all the volume. i think its better with this 60w amps
Just a reminder, don't shout after you finished playing, it's realy annoying when i have to bring the volume up, and then you two start shouting and my ears start bleeding The video was great by the way
Only 160 watts and £549? Most gigging amps are 500w with an extension cab around this price or a bit more for the Fender Rumble 500. I can`t really see who these are aimed at.
Wonder who's the target audience for this thing. 160 watts is too much for a practice amp, and too low for a stage or band rehearsal amp, class AB or not. It's not particularly lightweight, either. The 80 watts one is even more puzzling. Are these studio amps or what? There's a ton of bells and whistles in it, but I've yet to hear a digital bass amp which sounds good from the get-go without fiddling with the controls, like, say, an SVT or a Portaflex.
the band Earth used one of these live and they're a LOUD band, one of the pioneers of drone metal. They always mic up, though. If you're playing a venue that won't allow you to mic up into their sound system then that sucks for you. It's definitely loud enough for band rehearsal, too. These days you really should look into using smaller cabs and just mic'ing up. It sucks having to lug around massive cabs everywhere. regardless this amp is for solo practice and recording on your PC. It's for the solo artist/hobbyist mostly. I use one for my guitar, sounds great.
@@nicknickson3650 Idk, out there we rent the rehearsal studios and the rule of thumb is "anything below 200W won't handle playing with a moderately loud drummer." The usual power range for the bass rigs in these studios is 300-600W, the mainstays being GK Backline 600, Ampeg PF350/500 or SVT3Pro, and the ever-so-popular shitty 500W Ashdowns. As for a lightweight rig, I'd take an Ampeg RB-210 over this any day of the week. Playing live you'll DI out anyway unless it's a very small venue without PA.
@@ВасилийПетров-ы8й for me personally I just play at home and record in my bedroom. I don't gig lately, but if I did there's a company that lets you rent massive cabs and quality amps for cheap. You can rent massive cabs and multiple 200w tube bass amps for very cheap. That's what a lot of bands do when they tour overseas these days. But also a lot of bands, such as Earth, have switched to smaller amps and just use the venue speaker system. Earth is LOUD and I've seen the leader Dylan Carlson playing 1x10 cabs
@@nicknickson3650 here, nobody brings their own amplification, everybody pretty much everywhere plays through the venue's PA. There's usually a bass rig on stage for monitoring and sound shaping duties. I'm not talking about whether or not can you gig with a 110 combo if the monitors and the PA is there, because you can. You probably won't hear much of your amp onstage, tho. And I've recently played through an 115 Ashdown 180W combo DI-ed out to PA (which well could be a class AB device, cause it's heavy AF. Sorry I couldn't find the specs for its power amp) and standing next to the drummer, a meter from the front of the amp, I couldn't hear myself playing with this thing turned all the way up to clipping. If not for the drummer's monitor I'd be bummed. Also, the wiki says the class D is more power-efficient than the class AB, so I wont't buy this whole "AB is a lot louder dude!" until I'll try it IRL. On top of that, what about the rehearsals? You're gonna rent a rig for these, too? Unless you're renting the studio complete with gear ofc. So, this thing leaves me puzzled as for what's its purpose is. It won't work as a stage monitor and it won't work as a rehearsal amp cause it's likely too quiet, and for home use there's too much power. Playing it at home and then bringing it to the venue to use in lieu of an effect processor/DI box? UPD: all of this was basically speculation on my part, but the good folks at Talkbass appear to agree that 210 is plenty loud. Maybe that Ashdown was broken, it's Ashdown after all lol. RB210 still sounds better imo, and I don't need all the doodads.

Hopefully we get to see Nathan again in the future. His playing and commentary were a perfect complement to Lee.
Let’s hope there is a head-only model with a few more watts behind it, coming soon. I prefer a single 15 over 10’s for gigging.
My first thoughts as well. Not a fan of 10 inch speakers
A 10" 15" combo would be excellent
A 10 and a 15 is the quintessential combo.
Boss Katana for bass. It's just so beautiful.. I think I might cry *sniff*

Been looking for a slightly bigger combo to replace my old GK 200MB and this looks like a great candidate. TQ for a comprehensive review!
