Gear News: Trickfish Amplification Bullhead Mini 500C Combo

Trickfish Amplification introduces the Bullhead Mini 500C Combo – a super-compact, 23.5 lb. bass combo that brings uncompromising tone, power, and portability to working bassists. Equally at home with electric or upright bass, the Bullhead Mini 500C delivers 250 watts on its own, or 500 watts with an 8-ohm extension cabinet—making it powerful enough for the stage, precise enough for the studio, and portable enough for life on the move.

The Bullhead Mini 500C combines the complete feature set and robust power section of the Bullhead Mini 500 amplifier with the punch, depth, and clarity of the new L112 Mini cabinet, creating a grab-and-go solution for players who refuse to sacrifice performance for convenience.

“Bassists have been asking us for a combo for some time,” says Trickfish President Ryan Owens. “We’re excited to offer something that has the features, power, and tone players expect from Trickfish, in such a compact and high-performance package.”

Featuring the acclaimed Mike Pope-designed low-noise preamplifier and fixed 4-band EQ, the Bullhead Mini 500C packs a 12-inch Lavoce driver and tweeter, controlled by an intuitive three-way switching system that adjusts high-end response. Other features include selectable input sensitivity, auxiliary input, headphone output, pre- and post-balanced DI output, EFX loop, mute switch, and a Neutrik SpeakON combo connector for an extension cabinet.
