Serious Tube Bass Tone in a Versatile, Compact Package

The Mesa/Boogie Bass Prodigy Four:88 amp head puts you in command of serious bass tone. With four KT88s in its engine room, the Bass Prodigy gives you that heady sense of big air you can only get from a tube bass amp. At full power, this compact beast puts out the loudest 250 watts you've ever experienced. Flip the full/half power switch, and you have a studio-friendly 125 watts. You get inputs voiced for normal and vintage, fixed bias for maintenance-free operation, and copious tone shaping, courtesy of the Mesa/Boogie Bass Prodigy Four:88's active/passive semi-parametric EQ.

Mesa/Boogie Bass Prodigy Four:88 Bass Amp Head at a Glance:
  • Huge tube bass sound from a smallish box
  • Full/half power switch gives you major versatility
  • Loaded with features
  • Mesa/Boogie's warranty: the best in the business
Huge tube bass sound from a smallish box

The Mesa/Boogie Bass Prodigy Four:88 head is proof that big sound comes in smallish packages. With three 12AX7 preamp tubes and four KT88s in the power section, the Bass Prodigy Four:88 serves up the harmonically rich, huge-sounding bass tone that you can only get from pure tube amps.

Full/half power switch gives you major versatility

Mesa/Boogie's Bass Prodigy Four:88 lets you choose to use all four power tubes (producing 250 watts) or just two of them (which gives you a recording or small-club friendly 125 watts). And don't forget that we're talking tube watts here - they're much, much louder than wimpy solid-state watts!

Loaded with features

Mesa/Boogie has packed their Bass Prodigy Four:88 head with a host of features to make your life on the road easier. You get fixed bias for dependable, maintenance-free performance, an external switching jack, two tuner outputs, fan cooling, and even an included slipcover.

Mesa/Boogie's warranty: the best in the business

Your new Mesa/Boogie amp is protected by Mesa/Boogie's transferable warranty: five years on the electronics, three years for speakers, and six months for tubes.

Mesa/Boogie Bass Prodigy Four:88 Bass Amp Head Features:
  • Huge tube bass sound in midsize lunchbox form
  • Normal and vintage inputs give you a stylistic choice of voicings
  • Pull Boost switch lets you add a slight overdrive to aggressive grind
  • External switching jack for mid-voice, solo, FX loop, and tuner mute
  • Optional 4-button footswitch (mid-voice, solo, FX loop, mute) with alternate tuner-out jack
  • Balanced XLR line-out
  • 2 tuner outputs: back panel and footswitch (4-button footswitch sold separately)
  • Fan cooled; slipcover included
  • Important Notice for International Customers: Mesa/Boogie products sold by Sweetwater are intended for use within the United States. We are unable to ship any Mesa/Boogie products outside of the US.
When only tubes will do, choose the Mesa/Boogie Bass Prodigy Four:88 amp head!
