TC Electronic Thrust BQ500 500-watt Compact Bass Head

Enough juice to fill a room

Paired with a stage-worthy speaker cab, the Thrust BQ500 can competently fill a room. Though its 500-watt output is best suited for small to medium-sized venues, its balanced XLR out feeds your stage tone — EQ, compression, and all — directly into a PA for untapped performance power. This XLR out saves the need for a traditional direct box, eliminating one more piece of gear from your bass EDC.
