Serious combo here - the new top-of-line LD400 combo takes the HD400 head and adds a 2×10 configuration, together in one box. It can drive an 8-ohm extension cab, with the full power (400 watts) on tap when you use both the internal and external enclosures for a combined 4-ohm load.

At the other end of the spectrum is the new LD15, which pushes 15 watts through an 8″ speaker. It includes the Clean, R&B, Rock and Grind settings, as well as the Filter, Chorus and Octaver effects. Other features include the studio-grade opto compressor model, a full set of tone controls, and the dedicated Drive knob, for a little extra character. Both include headphone outs and an 1/8″ input for a CD/MP3 player. The LD400 has full DI as well. Street pricing is $799 on the LD400 and $179 for the LD15. The construction on both is very solid.

Looking at this complete lineup, it is clear that Line6 is looking to deliver their killer modeling “goods” in multiple formats which are very friendly to gigging bass players.  They certainly did their homework, and these rigs, from big to small, have all the features us bass players look for, plus the added flexibility of Line6 modeling. With very little time invested, you can dial in a great tone and get to business. But if you are willing to read the manual [gasp!] and put in a little more time, the models offer up a whole new world of alternatives.  It’s a good time to be a bass player, for sure.
