The Tech Features
Brand: Artist
Model: BA15
Amplifier Specs: 15 Watt, 4 band EQ, Auxilliary Input, Headphone Socket
Speaker: 6.5 Inch Speaker at 8 Ohms
Size: 290mm x 290mm x 170mm / 117⁄16” X 117⁄16” X 611⁄16”
Colour: Black
BA15 - Front Panel Functions:
Input - This is your Bass guitar jack input
Volume - Governs the volume level of both clean and Overdrive channels
Treble - Controls the high frequencies of the Bass guitar tone. If you increase the treble your bass will sound brighter
High-Mid - Dictates the higher side of your middle-frequency register of the amplifier. Turning this up will make your guitar sound bittier, ideal for Slap style Bass. Conversely reducing the amount of High-mid in your tone will result in a darker and warmer Bass guitar sound for the classic Rock and Jazz Bass tones
Low-Mid - Dictates the Lower side of your middle-frequency register of the amplifier. Turning this up will make your Bass guitar sound fatter, ideal for Rock and Metal style Bass tone. Conversely reducing the amount of Low-Mid in your tone will result in a scooped hollower Bass guitar sound for most Metal and Funk styles of Bass playing
Bass - Controls the amount of low frequencies or bottom end in your tone. The more you increase, the more punch you will add. If your sound sounds too muddy then decrease this control to Tighten your sound
Aux In - Allows you to connect any media player by using a 3.5mm jack input. This gives you the option to play along to any backing track or music coming from any media device
Phones - Plug your headphones here for silent practising. Doing this mutes your BA15's internal speaker, cutting out the speaker sound

Great beginner instrument
Other than having to replace the lead that came with it due to some connectivity issues that were causing lots of feedback, this has been a fantastic purchase and my 11yo is very happy with their choice! It arrived very quickly with everything they needed to get started learning their new instrument.

Everything u need.
Love this whole set. Not knowing if you're even going to enjoy t bass journey, this is t perfect way to start. The bag is padded. And the amp is very portable. And u get spare strings. Definitely worth every penny.

WoodyVerified Buyer
Great choice!
Stoked with the whole kit. It sounds great. The bass looks incredible. The amps a perfect size. The bag has 3-4mm of cushioning all around. The tuner is simple. And it stays in tune too. And for someone who has never even held a bass before, I'm blown away that you can get everything you need for $319 bucks, that sounds great. Ordered on a Sunday, arrived in country nsw on the Tuesday. They say 3 business days. But this took 1.5 business days. Thanks to u all at Artist Guitars.

Amazing!,love it!
This guitar is amazing! The quality is very impressive for such cheap and affordable price. It sounds really good. The amp that comes with this guitar is great! It sounds good with any guitar and pedals. I used this guitar with a marshal amp and it sounded really nice. This product is definitely worth buying and giving a try.
