Which of the Lightweight Bass Heads is the best? - a podcast by Gear n Gigs

Jet and Reggie pit 3 heavy hitting but light weight bass amp heads against each other in this low frequency shootout to determine which one steals the show. Will it be the Mesa Boogie Subway D-800, the Aguilar Tone Hammer 500, or the Euphonic Audio iAmp Micro? Each has plenty of volume, with the wattage to move some serious air (the power range for these amps is 350-800 watts). Each features a class D power section, so they are almost as easy to move around as a pedal. Each has a powerful preamp section, with tons of tone-shaping goodness on tap. But they have very different strengths, as it turns out, and all of them are good enough to make the final decision difficult for our intrepid heroes. They'll put both a vintage P-bass with flatwound strings and a vintage Rickenbacker 4003 with roundwounds through all 3 amps in a direct comparison so you can decide with them. Put on some headphones and come along for the ride!
