OVERVIEW

Shake the earth with 300W of focused low-end power.

Leave it to Bugera to bring the classic all-tube bass amp up to date. Lovingly handmade and sporting vintage styling, the BVV3000 Infinium merges in-your-face bass with state-of-the-art features, such as a 5-position Voicing selector and our new Infinium Tube Life Multiplier technology, which will keep your BVV3000 sounding great for many years to come.

All-Tube Design
There are lots of amplifiers on the market today that claim to be tube amps just because they've got a 12AX7 inside. But it takes a whole lot more than just a preamp tube to qualify an amp as being "all-tube." The BVV3000 is a true all-tube bass amp with three 12AX7 and two 12AU7 tubes. Two trios of 6550 (also known as KT88) output tubes operate in classic “push-pull” mode to create 300 Watts of room-shaking thunder.

Each Bugera tube goes through a rigorous 48-hour burn-in process before being individually evaluated by a skilled Quality Control Inspector (a real live human being). Only about one in every ten tubes actually gets the go-ahead for use in our amps. The rest get tossed onto the slag heap, where they are melted down to make shot glasses.

Taming the Beast
The BVV3000 is so much more than just raw power. The all-tube preamp provides tremendous tone-shaping control. Sure, you get the standard boost/cut capability from the Bass (centered at 40Hz) and Treble (4kHz) knobs, but the real “voice” of your bass is defined by its midrange content.

BVV3000’s 5-position Frequency selector lets you choose the center frequency that best suits your playing style, or the one that brings out your instrument’s true personality. Just select from 220 Hz, 450 Hz, 800 Hz, 1.6 kHz and 3.0 kHz and turn the Midrange knob to boost or cut by as much as 15dB—and that’s a lot! And if you want even more tone-sculpting options, engage the Ultra-Low switch for an additional +2 dB boost @ 40 Hz, or the ULTRA-HIGH switch for a soaring top-end boost of +9 dB @ 8 kHz.
