ULTRABASS BX600
2.3 Set-up for master/slave operation
2.3.1 ULTRABASS BX600 as master device
The PREAMP OUT jack allows you to connect the BX600 to an external power amp, using a commercial
instrument cable equipped with mono phone plugs. Then, connect the PREAMP OUT jack to the input on the
external power amp.
2.3.2 ULTRABASS BX600 as slave device controlled by an external amp/preamp
To use the power amp of your ULTRABASS for an external amp or preamp you need to connect the line output
of the external amplifier to the POWER AMP IN jack on your BX600.
3. THE SHAPE FUNCTION
The SHAPE function on your BX600 provides a revolutionary type of filter that you can use to modify your bass
sound in full detail. The filter allows you to shape your sound—which is a must for bass players today. Extreme
filter settings will give your bass sound more power, for example:
You want to play a live bass solo but the sound doesn’t cut through. The solo should stand out, rather than
being drowned. Set up a solid basic sound, then use the SHAPE filter to create a very distinctive solo sound.
Use the IN button to toggle between the two sounds.
The SHAPE filter is a bargain when you are using two different bass guitars. Maybe you want to change from
a jazz bass to a fretless bass, and vice versa—two instruments with a completely different sound. During gigs
you often lack the time to set up your amp for a different instrument, so you’ll be happy to have a BX600,
because you can use the SHAPE filter for your fretless sound, and the basic sound for the jazz bass.
4. INSTALLATION
4.1 Audio connections
