AXOLOGY: AXL Introduces Tyrant 200B bass amp

AXL has announced it’s new Tyrant 200B solid-state bass amp.

A rather tidy silver faceplate, black metal grille and vinyl covering embossed with a skull design give the Tyrant 200B an understated metal that’s perfect for classic-era headbangers. Removable casters make for portability and stability (which is more than we can say for the bassists we know).

List price: $659.99. Check it out at axlguitars.
