Is there a modern bass head or combo with integrated reverb?

Except for some old Peavey's and Acoustic Image's, the Laney Nexus or the new Boss Katana, what's out there with an integrated reverb?

 

Please don't start proposing the usual pedals or multi effects, it's absolutely not the question asked.

 

Thanks.

I've got a Roland Cube that I've had for probably close to 20 years and it's been rock solid and still sounds great.

The 30W one (that I have) is great for home and gigs with acoustic instruments, but underpowered for anything bigger.

IIRC there was a 120W combo that was very loud but also really heavy.

 

Other than that and the TC I can't think of any bass amp that had reverb.

For a minute there I thought the Burman Pro 4000 had one, but it's only the guitar heads like the Pro 2000 which do. I misremembered.

 

Although there is no reason why you couldn't use a Burman guitar head for bass, if you could find one. Plenty of people did back in the day.

I have always shied away from reverb live as I was old early on in my bass adventure that is just helped muddy the sound. Unusually for me, I never questioned it. Any comments?

It depends on how you use it. It can be nice to sparingly use some to give some air to a solo bassline. At the other end of the spectrum, you can use loads with delay and oodles of dirt to make a wall of sound. I think maybe it's possibly not an always on thing for bass like a guitarist might use it, but it can be used to good effect in the right places.
