Realbass design and engineering originates from Germany. All components are manufactured exclusively by domestic partners to the highest quality standards. Assembly is also done in-house. This allows us to implement ideas consistently, sustainably, quickly and efficiently.

All equipment in the realbass range are conceived to be purely analogue devices and are governed by this philosophy. Economic factors are of less significance than “undistorted tone” in design and production.

Great attention is paid to the weight in the development of the equipment. Its ”Sound” has top priority in this case.

Our own experience gained over many years of playing, in the most varied of configurations, is combined with an equally extensive experience and enthusiasm for electronics.

This results in a lot of Headroom and Reserves that allow you all the possibilities of reinforcing and reproducing the natural sound of your instrument without any compromises. This applies equally to both electrical and acoustic instruments.

The realbass range of equipment offers comprehensive and professional assistance to give full Instrument optimum showcasing of your instrument and its sound on any stage and in all appearance situations.

The full Realbass range is now ready for checking out at the Hot Wire Bass Headquarters in Germany. Call us for an appointment! 06753-94571

The realbass combo in its carbon casing shows that analogue technology does not have to be heavy. With 11.5 kg - 13.5 kg, it fulfills even the highest sound requirements. The combo guarantees a warm, powerful foundation for both double bass and electric bass with a transparent, natural reproduction of your instrument. No fan noise interferes with recordings. Absolutely convincing, the combo completes the hearing test in both one and two channels and opens up new approaches in boxing design in its effect as radiant sounding body. The rich equipment leaves nothing to be desired even when combining different types of acceptance.

Realbass Heads

The amplifier units of the two combos are also real Highlights as heads (tops). The analog concept works! These two devices also stand out by their extreme speed and impulse-fidelity and play their strengths in soloistic stylistics with their great dynamics.

For all Realbass amps, combos and boxes we have matching covers available.

Real bass enclosures 112/5 All 3 enclosures 210, 210H and 112/5 have our new patented handle system with four easily accessible stainless steel handles on each corner. Also they provide perfect edge protection. Simply connect to the second speaker output.

A 12” and a 5” – both are high level speakers with great performance (900W RM, 200W RMS) and it´s hard to push them to their limits. They offer extreme headroom in particular for impulses – the secret of great sound – for acoustic instruments and electric basses. The low frequency limit provides bold persuasive pressure even with a low “B”. It creates a punchy, detailed and balanced sound image of your instrument at any appropriate volume.
