Top 10 Best Bass Practice Amps
for March 2023

In 2011, MOOZ created the first review lab to compare bass practice amps, evaluating them for power, tone, and size. Since then, we've tested dozens of amps, comparing their tone, volume, and even their microphone attachments.

In our lab, we evaluate each amp on six attributes: tone, volume, size, versatility, ergonomics, and build quality. We also test each amp's portability, battery, and cost. In 2017, we upped our game by testing 32 models, including 19 amp heads, 15 combo amps, and 5 practice amps.

In 2018, we upped our game by testing 50 models, including 24 amp heads, 24 combo amps, and 10 practice amps.

The MOOZ lab has tested dozens of practice amps over the years, so we know how to evaluate them based on performance, features, and price. We've also talked to hundreds of music teachers to make sure we're picking the right amps. Here are the 10 best bass practice amps of 2022:
