The Line 6 LowDown™ LD300 Pro bass guitar combo amp delivers five carefully crafted amp models that can take you from vintage punch to modern grind. You also get a critical set of effects that no bass player should be without.
Once you create your own custom sound, you can save it into a preset using the channel memories on the front panel and instantly recall it anytime.
Amazing tone on stage and in the studio! The XLR Direct Output was designed for recording or sending your sound to a house sound system when you’re playing live.
This output utilizes our exclusive A.I.R. processing which has made Line 6 products like POD® the undisputed standard for direct recording.
Whether you’re playing a gig in a club or rushing off to a recording session, this POD based direct out will give you huge, mic’d amp tone everywhere you go!
AMP MODELS:
Clean
Inspired by* the Eden Traveler, this model is all about clean, funk and fusion bass tone. It’ll give you all the warm lows and punchy highs you need
R&B
Inspired by* a 1968 B-15 Flip Top, this model is a tribute to those late 60’s and early 70’s clean fat bass tones. It is the kind of tone you hear on most Motown recordings, as played by a pioneering young James Jamerson.
Rock
This model is inspired by* the ’74 Ampeg® SVT®. This workhorse has appeared on innumerable recordings and arena stages worldwide. And now all the tone of the 300-pound behemoth 8X10 and head is available in your combo!
Brit
Based on a ’68 Marshall® Super Bass, this model delivers the kind of overdriven bass sound brought to us by late ‘60’s British rock pioneers like Cream and The Who.
Grind
As the name would suggest, this is for modern rock lovers, Alice in Chains to Mudvayne and Rage Against The Machine. Based on* a distorted SansAmp PSA-1 into an SVT® in addition to a direct clean bass signal mixed in, this model gives you that angry, clear and punchy aggression that takes your sound to DEFCON 1.
But that’s not all…
Synth
Sitting at the back of the model knob is this secret weapon that turns LowDown into a ’70s classic bass synth. From funk to modern rock, this synth model delivers incredible tones and tracks every dynamic move you make with ease!
EFFECTS MODELS:
Envelope filter
Based on* a Q-Tron, this is the baddest envelope filter on the planet. This effect can be heard on tons of major funk and rock tunes.
Octaver
Based on* the EBS® OctaBass®, this effect produces a single note one octave below the pitch of the played note, adding a powerful new vibe to your sound.
Chorus
Based on* the much loved T.C. Electronic® Chorus. This is the most transparent, smooth and expressive chorus for bass ever built. Using it does not reduce your low end and it’s especially beautiful on fretless bass.
Finally, there’s a line of bass combos that give you great tone, performance, and flexibility all at an incredible price.

What The Pro`s Are Saying...
“The ROCK tone in this thing is nailed! Unlike other combos, it makes me feel like I am playing through my kick ass
stage rig.”
Tim Payne (Thursday)
"When I’m on a small stage but need to have that big classic amp sound, this will definitely be my amp"
Sean Hurley (Vertical Horizon, bassist for Anastacia, Mya)
"Being a vintage guy, I’ve never gotten excited about new amps for bass players, but the LowDown has completely changed
my mind. This thing sounds unbelievably fat. The octave and synth sounds are killer."
Jonathan Ahrens (bassist for Liz Phair, Matt Redman, Josh Kelley)
"Finally, something that really delivers the old school dirt with portability."
Liam Wilson (The Dilinger Escape Plan)
“A combo bass amp with tone, versatility and attitude. What a revolutionary concept! Thanks Line 6.”
Ric Fierabracci (bassist for Chick Corea, Dave Weckl)
“A really fast-tracking, flexible synth bass sound I can actually use in the real world - very cool.”
Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Ima Robot, bassist for Beck, Macy Gray)
“My band is in the middle of writing for our next album and the LowDown has given me the ability to create and manipulate awesome new bass tones. The volume this combo produces is shocking. It has opened up a whole new world of inspiration."
Chris Amato (Hidden in Plain View)
"The SVT [‘Rock’ model based on* an SVT®] in this thing is amazing. If you`re looking for a new amp, I recommend the one with multiple personality disorder. I am sure you will love meeting each one."
