Modeled Amps & Cabs • Line 6’s Original ModelsLine 6’s Original Models5 • 16Long ago, in a land that time forgot, electric basses existed and bass amps didn’t! That’sright—bass players had to plug into anything they could find to amplify that newfangledelectric bass. Couple that knowledge with the gigantic model library at Line 6and the intrepid spirit of musicians in general, and pretty soon you start trying crazystuff. Like plugging into guitar amps to see what basses sound like through them, thendoing some high tech tweaking to make that marriage really work. After all, manysuccessful bass amp designs originally started as guitar amps, and visa versa. Unfetteredby the rules of physics and good sense, this led us to stich what were originally guitaramp models and other tonal oddments into some brand new bone-shakin’ bass tonemakers that await you in the Line 6 section of the model lineup....L6 Classic JazzJoin us, for a moment, in contemplation of the Roland ® JC120. If you think about it,it’s easy to follow our logic – it’s an amp that has a great reputation for cleanliness andaccuracy. Now aren’t those two tonal characteristics often sought after by bassists inevery genre? Grab a bass, plus in, and behold—it definitely works for us! Push downthat CAB/A.I.R. button and try pairing the L6 Classic Jazz Model with the 8 x 10SVT ® cabinet model. You’ll be glad you did.L6 Brit InvaderSince Class A amps overdrive differently than their Class B cousins, we just had to jackour trusty basses into our favorite Vox ® AC 30 Top Boost. Out of respect for thoseultra-rare blue back speakers (and fear of the repercussions of blowing one of ‘em!) weset our beloved Vox ® on top of a Marshall ® Major 4x15 cabinet. We happily found thisunlikely combination produced a very furry tone that readily responds to any tonaladjustments you may make on your bass or your Bass PODXT Live. And with a littletweaking we went from a top end that could cut through anything to a pleasurablevintage “woofyness” that would make Joe Meek proud.*All product names are trademarks of their respective owners, which are in no way associated oraffiliated with Line 6.
