Performance Made in Denmark

The BQ500 from Danish company TC Electronic embraces the modern trend toward smaller, lighter, and yet powerful bass amps, delivering 500 watts of Class D power in a compact housing weighing just over two kilograms, making it ready for gigs of any size. With a 4-band equaliser and switchable compressor, the BQ500 offers versatile sound shaping across multiple styles, while its focus on essentials ensures it remains incredibly easy to use and affordable. For the price of an effects pedal, this amp provides a powerful, portable solution that fits effortlessly into any gig bag, making this device equally suited for the stage or home practice.

Reduced to the maximum

In developing the BQ series, TC Electronic focused on the features and connections that truly matter in practice, resulting in a bass amp stripped down to the essentials without unnecessary extras. The gain control manages the input level while the master control drives the power amplifier, and a 4-band equaliser with bass, low mid, high mid and treble provides a wide range of tonal options. A switchable compressor smooths out peaks and tightens the signal for a more compact, powerful sound, making additional tools for tone shaping unnecessary. And for connectivity, the BQ500 offers a DI Out to send the signal directly to a mixing console or audio interface, while the headphone output and AUX In make it just as useful for quiet practice sessions at home as it is for live performance.

Lightweight and easy to use

Class D amps, with their compact size and low weight, are especially appealing to mobile bassists who'd prefer not to have to haul heavy gear, or who often travel by public transport. This lightweight profile is reflected in its internal features too; the TC Electronic BQ500 is designed above all for players who are happy to do without extras like tuners, built-in effects, or USB connections and instead value straightforward, hassle-free operation. With its clearly laid-out controls and intuitive inputs and outputs, the BQ500 doesn't require bassists to waste their valuable time studying manuals – they can simply switch it on and start playing.

About TC Electronic

The Danish company TC Electronic has been known for its innovative products for many years. It was founded in 1976 by brothers Kim and John Rishøj in Aarhus. The company first made a name for itself with the SCF, a stereo chorus/flanger pedal for guitar. Studio equipment followed during the 80s and 90s, notably the legendary TC2290 digital delay in 19-inch rack format. Since the 2000s, TC Electronic has greatly enriched the guitar and bass scene with amplifiers, cabinets, combos, and effects pedals. Here too, TC's innovative spirit is in evidence, for example with its TonePrint technology and the first polyphonic guitar tuner. TC Electronic has been part of Music Tribe since 2015.

Get loud or stay silent

While it's possible to practise electric bass at home without an amp, it's rarely enjoyable, and amplification often brings volume levels that can be problematic in rented flats or late at night. The BQ500 addresses this by including a headphone output and an input for external sound sources, allowing players to jam along with their favourite tracks or practise to drum loops, with the outside world none the wiser. This completely silent setup not only keeps neighbours and family undisturbed, but also does away with the need for a separate headphone amplifier, making practice both convenient and enjoyable.

Deze bass amp heeft alles wat je nodig hebt, niet meer en ook niet minder.
De bediening is eenvoudig en wijst zich vanzelf.
Fijn om te gebruiken , heel veel volume en dat is prima te regelen.
Prima prijs / kwaliteit verhouding
Ik beveel hem van harte aan

Fijne versterker!!

Mattheus 12.08.2019

Zeer prettige versterker met maar liefst 500W!
Pluspunten:
- handige en efficiënte EQ
- power
- compact
- lichtgewicht
minpunten:
- onhandig formaat voor inbouw
- (nog) geen rack-oren leverbaar voor inbouw

Ja, 500W met een ClassD versterker moet je niet vergelijken met de ouderwetse versterkers... maar ik was heel eerlijk aangenaam verrast door deze amp.

Helaas is er een fout opgetreden, probeert u het a.u.b. later nogmaals.

Perfect for me!

There’s a lot of different opinions online regarding bass rig set setups on what you should use and what to avoid. I got lost in the noise on many different forums speaking about this, but I decided to purchase this on reviews from people with the same outlook as myself.

I’m a very simple ‘plug in and play’ bassist, and this amp stood out to me because that’s what it allows me to do. With the pedals I use (distortion, chorus and an EQ pedal) it just amps up my tone and keeps things simple. 99% of the gigs I play have a sound guy and use a DI for FOH so it’s more than loud enough with a single cab that I use for monitoring on stage. Very responsive EQ to fine tune your tone! The ‘thrust’ compressor seems to have a minimal impact on the sound but it’s a nice feature to have (it’s still early days so it may be better than I give it credit) A compressor pedal would be more beneficial but for the price of this amp I don’t expect it to be groundbreaking.

Overall, this head is fantastic if you’re on a budget and want to upgrade from a very heavy combo amp (like myself) I can’t wait to get gigging with this thing and break it in!
