Description

Edit description

The Orange Crush Bass 100 is a powerhouse bass combo amplifier, designed to deliver a rich, bi-amp inspired tone across any venue. With 100 watts of solid-state power pumping through its custom 15" speaker, this amp ensures your bass lines are heard loud and clear, from the deepest lows to the most resonant mids. Crafted with all-analog circuitry, the Crush Bass 100 offers a warm, vintage sound that captures the essence of your instrument.

The amp's intuitive controls, including an active 3-band EQ with a parametric midrange, allow for precise sound sculpting. Whether you're looking for smooth, clean tones or gritty, overdriven bass, the footswitchable gain and blend controls provide the flexibility to achieve your desired sound. For those who love to experiment, the onboard FX loop is perfect for integrating your favorite effects pedals.

Designed for versatility, the Crush Bass 100 is equally adept in the studio or on stage. Use the balanced XLR output to connect directly to a PA, or practice silently with the CabSim-equipped headphone output. The built-in chromatic tuner and AUX input make it easy to stay in tune and jam along to your favorite tracks. Whether you're practicing at home or performing live, the Orange Crush Bass 100 is a reliable partner in crime for any bassist.

Critic Reviews

Orange Crush Bass 100, 50 & 25 combos review

guitar.com

The Orange Crush Bass 100 delivers impressive sound clarity and depth, making it a strong choice for gigging bassists. Its powerful 15-inch speaker and innovative EQ controls allow for a versatile tonal palette, from warm thuds to biting treble. However, its weight may pose a challenge for transport, and some users might find the midrange adjustments a bit mushy at extremes. Overall, it stands out in affordability and performance, appealing especially to those seeking quality in an entry-level amp.

Great for practice, and smallish gigs.

This is a great amp if you need something bigger than a normal "practice amp", but don't wanna lug something too big around either. This amp has a DI out, so volume isn't much of an issue if you're playing live with a PA, and can plug the DI in for front of house, and get your bass in the wedge mix. I have played a few jam sessions with some guys who had 50w Tube heads and a drummer, and this amp barely gets loud enough to hear yourself if the guitar players like to be loud. Definitely need a monitor to play with a couple loud guitarists. But then again 100W of bass isn't a whole lot. For it's intended purpose, great amp. It's also worth noting, that the DI sends the dirt from the gain circuit, not bypassing it.

loud!!!

Great amp for loud players, maybe the best option you can have while choosing from 100 watt combos. It is loud and lets you create some nice tones. I use it for my bass vi and it works great. "Peak" control light is life-saving, I always know if I'm gonna blow up the speakers or not. Works good on small gigs. Quite pricey tho

Amazing little combo

This is an amazing combo to have around the house for practice or to take to smaller gigs. I played this combo on a large portion of our first few tours due to smaller venues, great tone and pretty fucking loud.

"In the last year I’ve had the help of some great companies who’ve gone far out of their way to get me the tools I needed to work on my portion of this next @rivalsons record and I’d like to say thank you. There are so many not pictured here but I will be posting more in gratitude soon. I hadn’t wanted to share these kinds of things through 2020; great gear I’d come up on while so many suffered so greatly, it just didn’t feel right then but I feel (slightly) better about it now. Thanks to @orangeamplifiers for the Crush Bass 100 and @guildguitars for this beautiful Starfire 1 Bass and special thanks for the amazing custom Italian lid to @donreno.it for helping me feel a little bit cooler in quarantine. There’s still a long way to go, my love to you all."
