This 120watt badboy just hit its 2 year anniversary!

With over 20 or so gigs, dropping it countless times, sliding in the back of a truck, and getting it wet....

it has lasted despite what many of you have said about it.

I know this isn't all of Behringers stuff, but this is pretty exciting it has lasted so long. reliable amp and I love the tone, even though I upgraded to a cab :smash:

any of you have gear that you're shocked it's lasted so long?

I am surprised my squier bass of 6 years still works given that the knobs fell off and the neck is warped to poo, I am pretty surprised it still functions. I wouldn't be able to sell it for $20.

my bx1200's going strong too, the guy i bought it from had it for a year before he sold it, and i've had it for just about a year. i love it.

my monterey p-bass has almost lasted 3 years as well, and the electronics, hardware and body/neck are in plenty good nick. it's actually quite a good bass for $150 australian ...

I have the exact same amp. It died on me a few months after I bought it. Just before I was about to get rid of it, I turn it on just to see if it'd work. It's been fine ever since. Think I've had it for about 2 years now. Not bad! Not gigged with it though so the volume has never been pushed too far past 2.

I had a Behringer pedal tuner for about two days which didn't pick up anything below an A on a 6-string guitar :lol:

...im sure the amp is sounding better than ever!


<_<


I used a Behringer rack tuner at a gig once, couldnt even pickup the low C on my bass. Quality stuff.

did you try using a 12th fret harmonic, alot of tuners dont go that low

I have a Behringer mixer that looks badass but hums after 5 minutes, regardless of where it is. Probably some wiring problem.

But, on the plus side, we ordered just one mixer from MF, and they sent us 5 of them on accident, so it's not a total loss. :lol:

What? Don't go low enough to tune a standard 6-string guitar :amaze:

you probably got a bunk one, but a tuner not picking up a drop c? that post wasnt aimed at you

Aha. Yeah most I've tried struggle with a low B :(

It ended up working on the 12th fret harmonic, but still. My Fender rack tuner pick's up the low C without a hassle.

I've had my bx1200 for somewhere around 4 years. Works fine.
