About This Item
Description
Want to practice bass through headphones without lugging an amp? The Rushead Max Bass plugs straight into your bass, running world-class bass amp models plus switchable modulation and ambient effects through a 5-hour rechargeable battery.
Why bassists choose the Rushead Max Bass
- Plugs directly into your bass — no amp, no cables to a separate unit, just headphones for silent practice anywhere.
- Clean, overdrive and distortion voicings modeled on world-class bass amplifiers cover a wide practice tone range.
- A switchable mod module (FLOW / TREM / DEEP) and ambient module (ECHO / REVERB / ECHOVERB) add texture without extra pedals.
- 5 hours of battery life from a USB-rechargeable 5V lithium battery — charge it like a phone.
Rushead Max RH-100 vs Rushead Max Bass (RH-101)
Same chassis, weight and battery runtime as the Rushead Max (RH-100) for guitar — the difference is the voicing set (bass amps vs guitar amps) and the ambient module naming (echo on this bass version vs delay on the guitar version). Choose based on your instrument.
Controls
- 5 knobs: LEVEL, TONE, AMBIENT, MOD, GAIN.
- Switchable mod module: FLOW / TREM / DEEP.
- Switchable ambient module: ECHO / REVERB / ECHOVERB.
