Warwick BC-150 Combo 150Watt/15Zoll
Warwick · amplifier
The Warwick BC-150 is a 150-watt bass combo with a 15-inch driver, from the German maker better known for its bass guitars than its amplification. Fifteen-inch drivers give the deep, rounded low end associated with traditional bass amplification rather than the tighter response of smaller speakers. This entry's name carried the German word Zoll, meaning inch, from its original listing. It suits bassists wanting a straightforward combo from a maker with strong bass credentials.
