Schertler’s pickups, preamps, and amplifiers are mostly associated with the reproduction of acoustic instruments. But recently, they entered the world of electric bass with the Bass Fidelity series of combos. These powerful and portable amps are built for bassists on the go and include 1x15 and 1x12 varieties, but we checked out the most diminutive member the family—the Bass Fidelity B10.

The front-ported cabinet houses a 10" ferrite (ceramic) speaker and a 1" dome tweeter. Schertler selected a long-extension woofer to maximize projection and tone. While many speaker-cabinet designs incorporate a high-frequency attenuator, the B10 does not include this function.

Schertler’s solid-state B10 is built for quick response and transparency. The transistor-based, class A discrete preamp contains essential tone-shaping features, including one cool surprise: an input-impedance control that allows the player to set the impedance from 22k ohm to 2m ohm at 1 kHz and expand the variety of pickups that will work well with the B10.

After the gain knob, the amp provides shelving controls for the low, low-mid, high-mid, and high frequencies, along with thoughtful implements like a DI level and a headphone volume next to the master. One of the best design features of the B10 is actually the top-mounted handle. The vertical orientation caters to the natural position of the hand and helps provide easier transport for this 50-plus pound combo than you’d get from a side-handle design.

Perhaps the only slight that could be said about the B10 would be the location of the controls. It’s certainly understandable positioning the knobs on the front panel, but it was difficult at times to make on-the-fly adjustments with the combo positioned on the floor.
