SMALL BUT MIGHTY: YAMAHA GUITARS DEBUTS
BA10 AND AA5 AMPLIFIERS
—New Bass and Guitar Amps Ideal for Practice,
Jamming—
ANAHEIM, CA—Yamaha Guitars fills a need for durable,
compact bass and guitar products with the Winter NAMM 2003 debut
of the BA10 Bass Amplifier and AA5 Amplifier.
Designed as a practice amplifier for bass players, the Yamaha
BA10 Bass Amplifier features a 7-Watt amp and single 4”
speaker, which, despite its small size, offers clean sound for
the lower registers and plenty of punch. The lightweight (9
lb.) single-input unit also features controls for volume, treble
and bass, a boost/gain switch and headphone jack for practicing.
Roadworthy construction makes the BA10 ideal for transporting
to practice sessions and gigs.
The Yamaha AA5 Amplifier is an innovative, versatile, portable
stereo digital amplifier with a wide variety of uses. Constructed
of high-impact polypropylene, the cube-shaped AA5 features a
4-Watt amplifier and dual 4” speakers. In addition to
a single ¼” TRS input, the AA5 also contains a
stereo miniphone aux input that will accept a CD or MP3 player—great
for plugging in a CD player and playing along with your favorite
licks.
A single line output allows two AA5 units to be daisy-chained
together, and each cabinet may be pole-mounted to create a small-format
P.A. system.
“These are truly unique products,” states Joseph
Brasler, marketing manager, Yamaha Guitars. “The BA10
is an answer to the requests for a bass-oriented practice amp,
and the AA5 is a fun, inexpensive way to jam anywhere, and is
the perfect practice or performance companion for Yamaha’s
Silent Guitar Series, as well as portable keyboards or other
electronic instruments. They’re a compact, inexpensive
solution.”
The AA5 may be powered for up to 60 hours with four AA batteries.
Accessories include a carrying strap and DC adaptor.
The BA10 is currently available, with the AA5 slated for March
delivery.
