Venture® Series heads and cabs deliver the modern style and features sought by contemporary bassists. Powerful yet portable and lightweight yet roadworthy, the series comprises the Venture V12, V7, and V3 heads and the Venture VB-112, VB-115, VB-210, VB-212, and VB-410 cabs. With their easy-to-use and intuitive controls, Venture Series heads offer an extensive array of tone-shaping tools that include 3-band EQ with sweepable mids, Ultra Hi and 3-way Ultra Lo switches, and a footswitchable enhanced Super Grit Technology™ (SGT™) Overdrive circuit with SVT/B15 voicings.

Its Class D power section provides more than enough power to drive any of the Venture Series speaker cabs or practically any other cab bassists may encounter on the road.
