Build a Logic Pro Bass Amp Designer combo

amplifiers, cabinets, and so on, using the Amp, Cabinet, and Mic pop-up menus.
Note: If you create your own hybrid amp combo, you can use the Settings pop-up menu
to save it as a setting file, which also includes any parameter changes you have made.

In Logic Pro, choose an amplifier from the Amp pop-up menu. See Logic Pro Bass Amp
Designer amplifier models for details on the characteristics of each amplifier.
Choose a Bass Amp Designer cabinet
Cabinets have a huge impact on the character of a bass guitar sound (see Logic Pro Bass
Amp Designer cabinet models).
Whereas certain amplifier and cabinet pairings have been popular for decades, departing
from them is an effective way to create fresh-sounding tones. You can try random
combinations, but if you consider the variables that determine the “sound” of a cabinet,
you can make educated guesses about non-traditional amplifier and cabinet combinations.
