bass amp

Deep-tone sound booster

A bass amp is an amplifier designed specifically for bass guitars, with speakers and circuitry optimized for low frequencies.

Bass amps typically have larger speaker cabinets than guitar amps to move enough air for deep tones: He plugged into a massive bass amp that rattled the floor.

The term covers both the amplifier head and the speaker cabinet, or combo units that combine both.
