Premier B160 Bassamp preset
Verified · 80/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.
The Premier B160 was a dedicated bass amplifier from the company's later product range, delivering 160 watts of solid-state power for electric bass players. Its EQ section was voiced for the extended low-frequency response required by bass instruments, with more aggressive tone shaping than the guitar models. The B160 arrived as Premier was transitioning away from tube-based designs in the face of solid-state competition, and it reflected the clean, efficient approach of late 1960s and 1970s solid-state bass amplification. It was a capable if unremarkable option for the working bass player of the era.
