Orange Little Bass Thing 500W Bass Head Overview

As the name suggests, the Orange Little Bass Thing is a no-nonsense, featherweight bass amplifier, aimed squarely at the modern player. 500W of Class D muscle coupled with a hugely powerful solid-state preamp, all in a diminutive 3Kg package, mean this tiny toolbox delivers maximum tone with minimum fuss.

Simple but effective EQ: A parametric mid control and carefully chosen bass and treble frequencies, all with 15 dB of cut/boost, ensure that you can dial in the ultimate bass sound not only accurately, but quickly too! Whether you're adding the finishing touches to the perfect tone, taming a troublesome room acoustic or crafting something really over-the-top, the Little Bass Thing does it with engineer precision and the musical simplicity you expect from an Orange bass amp.

Class A optical compression: The footswitchable (sold separately) compressor control on the Little Bass Thing's front panel gives players instant access to Orange's painstakingly developed Class A Optical Compression circuit. With its unique sidechain and a response optimised for bass guitar, this single dial provides excellent dynamic control and a warm, classic feel, at subtle or extreme settings.

Helpful little extras: In addition to great tone and light weight, the Little Bass Thing also features a buffered FX Loop and a studio-quality balanced D.I. output with a Ground Lift switch for eliminating any ground loop issues. There's also a -6dB input pad switch for active basses and hot pickups. With all its dynamic and tone-shaping capabilities, the Little Bass Thing also makes a great recording preamp when used without a speaker connected.

Are you looking for a small, simple rig to amplify your bass in a BIG way? We've got just the thing. The Little Bass Thing.

Incredibly powerful, with huge ‘presence’. Very usable and effective eq. Warm yet clean tones. Great platform for pedals. Compressor is simple to use and effective. Sounds great through my SP212.

I took a chance on this little amp on the strength of the online reviews ... I have now gigged with it and found it a worthy (and smaller and lighter) replacement for my Ampeg SVT!! A very happy customer here!
