This makes the B-50 a flexible choice for players who need to cover genres like jazz, rock, and funk.

Good value: It includes features often reserved for more expensive amps (tweeter, custom speaker, effects loop, dual-input for active/passive basses).

Harmonic clarity: The tweeter elevates the highs and harmonics of the bass in ways that many similar-priced amplifiers don’t.

Robust build: Given its size, speaker complement, and power, it seems built to handle serious playing — rehearsal, small gigs, practice.

Bassists who cover multiple styles (jazz, rock, funk) and need a single amplifier capable of adapting quickly.

Players using active or passive bass guitars, since it has inputs suited to both.

Musicians needing both on-stage performance and practice functionality, because of the inclusion of headphones output and effects loop.

Those who want good tonal flexibility without spending at the top tier.

Flexibility to shape tone over a wide range (from mellow to aggressive).

Can adapt to different bass pickup types (active/passive).

Enhanced clarity and presence via tweeter — helps cut through in mixes and live settings.

More control over sound (gain, EQ, character) means less reliance on external pedals/effects.

Suitable for rehearsal, small-venue gigs thanks to 50W power and rugged build.

Q: Is the B-50 loud enough for live gigs?
A: Yes, 50W is sufficient for many small to medium venues, especially when mic’d or blended with PA. For very large venues, you might need a higher wattage amp or additional rig support.

Q: Can I use any bass guitar (active or passive)?
A: Yes. The amp has two separate inputs: “High” for active basses and “Low” for passive ones. ekoguitars.it

Q: What is the “Caracter” control?
A: It’s a tone-shaping control that shifts the amplifier’s character — from soft jazz through rock to funk-style scooped mids. It gives quick changes in tone without needing external EQ presets. ekoguitars.it

Q: Does it have effects capabilities?
A: It features an effects loop (Send & Return), which lets you insert pedals or rack effects into the signal chain. ekoguitars.it

Q: How heavy is it / how portable?
A: It weighs about 19.5 kg and measures approximately 47.5 × 52 × 30.5 cm, so while not the lightest, it’s fairly standard for a 50W 12" bass combo.
